Kevin Costner has kicked off a week of promotional television appearances surrounding the premiere of his History Channel mini-series, Hatfields & McCoys, which debuts on Memorial Day (5/28) at 8 pm/CT. Costner stars as Devil Anse Hatfield.
The soundtrack from the series features music from his country/rock band, Kevin Costner & Modern West. Music from the album is currently available on iTunes and Amazon. The show tells the true American story of a family feud that nearly launched a war between Kentucky and West Virginia.
A slew of network promotional appearances got underway on NBC’s The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. The star will also visit ABC’s Good Morning America today (5/24) and Live! with Kelly later in the day. On Fri., May 25, he’ll join the hosts of the morning show, FOX & Friends. Costner will also stop by for a 2-part episode for The Tavis Smiley Show within the week.
Costner’s band is gearing up for a summer concert tour across the U.S. and Canada to promote its current single, “The Angels Came Down,” which reached the Top 10 on the Billboard Christian Digital Songs Chart. Its third CD, From Where I Stand, is expected to be released in the U.S. this summer.
