This past weekend, most of the all star cast of the Wet Hot American Summer film and Netflix series reunited for a live read of the film and select scenes from the show to benefit the Biden Victory Fund. The live read raised more than $200,000 and featured appearances from Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, David Hyde Pierce, Jason Schwartzman, Josh Charles, John Slattery, Adam Scott, Michael Cera, Alyssa Milano, Janeane Garofalo, Michael Ian Black, Ken Marino, Joe Lo Truglio, Lake Bell, Christopher Meloni, Molly Shannon, Bruce Greenwood, Michaela Watkins, A.D. Miles, Zak Orth, Marguerite Moreau, Samm Levine, Nina Hellman, Michael Showalter, David Wain, and more.
The live read closed out with a very special performance by one of the internet’s favorite Chrises — CHRIS PINE — reprising his role of Eric and singing “Higher & Higher,” along with the show’s composer and Shudder to Think frontman CRAIG WEDREN. Acclaimed songwriter, singer, film & television composer and Shudder To Think frontman Craig Wedren launched his Sabbath Sessions podcast earlier this year–born out of the introspection of his longtime mindfulness and wellness practices and uniting many different strands of his varied musical aptitudes.
The 13-episode collection of musical meditations can be heard HERE, and represents his first explorations of ambient choral music where Wedren developed his technique of sampling and looping his famously elastic voice resulting in a unique kind of sound bath.
Wedren is set to release Sabbath Sessions as an album available across DSPs on December 4th.
Throughout his illustrious career, Wedren’s music has become an essential part of some of film and television’s most popular and lauded shows including films The School of Rock and Laurel Canyon; and television shows like GLOW (Netflix), Shrill (with that dog.’s Anna Waronker), Mrs. Fletcher (HBO), New Amsterdam (NBC) and Fresh Off The Boat (ABC), among others. He’s also collaborated numerous times with his childhood friend David Wain including Role Models, Reno 911!, The State and the Wet Hot American Summer movie and tv series.
