Five Star Iris “Live From Guantanamo Bay”
New rock band Five Star Iris and Fuse On Demand present a unique look at how one band tours for the troops and what the experience is all about. The resulting piece, “Live From Guantanamo Bay….,” provides an up-close view of not only how a band tours to support America’s servicemen and women, but also takes a look at life in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, currently one of the most hot-button topics in media today. The program shows another side of both touring and life in the military, as well as performances from the band’s New Year’s Eve show on the base.
Five Star Iris has toured extensively for both Navy Entertainment and Armed Forces Entertainment, including a 25-day tour of Iraq and SW Asia, a Pentagon performance for the Air Force’s 60th Anniversary, and the South By Southwest Music Festival. The special, shot over 4 days on location in Guantanamo Bay, with additional footage provided by Five Star Iris, will air nationally beginning this Monday, May 5 on Fuse On Demand in the “Exclusives” category.
