DAVE GROHL is a 16-time Grammy-winning musician and 2-time Emmy-winning director. Grohl has been one of the most beloved and respected figures on the international music scene since his recorded debut with Nirvana on 1991's generation-defining _Nevermind_. Grohl took center stage with Foo Fighters' 1995 self-titled debut, the first album in massive 12-Grammy-winning catalogue that now includes _The Colour & The Shape_ (1997), _There Is Nothing Left To_ _Lose_ (1999), _One By One_ (2002), _In Your Honor_ (2005), _Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace_ (2007), _Wasting Light_ (2011), _Sonic Highways_ (2014), _Concrete and Gold_ (2017) and, most recently _, Medicine at Midnight_ (2021). Grohl has a well-earned reputation as a prolific collaborator: His various endeavors have included "Cut Me Some Slack,? written and recorded with Paul McCartney and Grohl's Nirvana bandmates Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear; Them Crooked Vultures, formed with Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones and Queens of the Stone Age's Joshua Homme, late legends David Bowie and Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead, as well as Mick Jagger, Neil Young, Elton John, Nine Inch Nails, Roger Taylor and Brian May of Queen, to name a few. In 2013, Grohl made his debut as a feature director/producer with the acclaimed documentary _Sound City_. Named for the Van Nuys CA studio where Nirvana recorded _Nevermind_ in 1991, which would sell more than 30 million copies and transform the modern musical landscape. Premiering to unanimous raves at Sundance and achieving a 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating, Sound City focused both on the history of the legendary studio and on the ongoing fight to preserve the human element of music. Hailed by Peter Travers of _Rolling Stone_ as an "exhilarating documentary about what makes life worth living,? by _The New York Times_ as "candy to several generations' worth of rock fans" and NPR as "a celebration of just how unbelievably awesome it is to make rock music for a living," _Sound City_ has since been certified as a Gold Longform Video by the RIAA, while the _Sound City? Real To Reel_ companion album took the 2013 Grammys for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media and Best Rock Song (?Cut Me Some Slack?). Grohl also directed the eight-part HBO docuseries _Foo Fighters: Sonic Highways_ , which premiered in October 2014 and went on to win two of the four Emmys for which it was nominated (outstanding sound mixing for nonfiction programming and outstanding sound editing for nonfiction programming). Described by Grohl as a love letter to the history of American music, _Sonic Highways_ was comprised of eight one-hour episodes, each chronicling the creation of one song on Foo Fighters' _Sonic Highways_ album, each written and recorded in a different American musical landmark -- Austin, Chicago, Los Angeles, Nashville, New Orleans, New York, Seattle, and Washington, D.C.
