As FOO FIGHTERS wind down another leg of the Concrete And Gold tour with a WRIGLEY FIELD doubleheader that rocked 75,000+ of CHICAGO’s FF faithful, DAVE GROHL has a new project born of the most challenging performance of his storied career.

"PLAY" is a two part black and white mini-documentary, directed by GROHL with help from his SOUND CITY/SONIC HIGHWAYS collaborator MARK MONROE, celebrating the rewards and challenges of dedicating ones life to playing and mastering a musical instrument. Part one -- set to be released AUGUST 10th by ROSWELL/RCA RECORDS on digital download and streaming platforms -- opens with narrated behind the scenes footage featuring discussion of the love of playing music and the lifelong relationship with an instrument, and detailing the process and challenges of recording and filming this unique performance.

“Watching my kids start to play music and learn to sing or play drums, it brings me back to the time when I was their age listening to albums, learning from listening… and when I take my kids to the place where they take their lessons, I see these rooms full of children that are really pushing themselves to figure this out," said GROHL. "And even now, as a 49-year-old man, I’m still trying to figure it out… it’s not something that you ever truly master. You’re always chasing the next challenge, and you’re always trying  to find a way to improve on what you’ve learned.”
