R.E.M.’s Peter Buck to appear in new Vevo Music series ‘Singing Earth’

R.E.M.’s Peter Buck is set to appear on a new music series, hosted by Screaming Trees/Mad Season drummer Barrett Martin.

The series, Singing Earth, debuts Friday on the Vevo Music Network, with Buck set to appear in the second episode. Buck describes the show, which can be watched on YouTube, as “a cool musical travelogue.”

Photos shared by Barrett reveal that he and Buck interview Brazilian singer-songwriter Gilberto Gil for the series, while another shows Buck relaxing between recording sessions in São Paulo, Brazil.

Buck and Martin previously worked together in the supergroup Silverlites, which also featured The Black Crowes’ Rich Robinson and singer Joseph Arthur. They released their self-titled debut album back in November.
