Ed Robertson Hosts a Series of Jet-Fueled Adventures in Ed's Up: The Best of Season One

Los Angeles, California - March 1, 2010 - Barenaked Ladies co-founder and frontman Ed Robertson steps away from the rock scene and trades stadiums for steel-toed boots as he flies into an adventure of grueling on-the-job challenges in Alluvial's next DVD release Ed's Up: The Best of Season One in stores April 6, 2010. Produced by Toronto-based Peace Point Entertainment Group, the popular Ed's Up series is now in its third season on Canada's OLN. The series teaches the iconic Canadian rock star how hard the work-a-day life can be as he takes on the toughest of jobs with his trademark good humor and down-to-earth attitude. The new DVD is the first in a series that features the best episodes from each season of Ed's Up.

Throughout the first season, Robertson, a rock star whose band has sold more than 12 million albums and has been showered with awards, logged flight-time in his Cessna airplane, crossing Canada to tackle a series of demanding tasks. In each episode, Robertson, an avid recreational pilot, receives a set of GPS coordinates from a "mystery person," who clearly wants to see him sweat it out! He then flies to the unknown location and has to immediately get to work. These jobs are very physical and at times incredibly dangerous.

But why would an international rock star risk life and limb doing these crazy challenges? Simply put, this series gives Robertson a chance to prove to himself and the world that although he's a pampered celebrity, he's tough enough to work alongside some of this country's unsung heroes. Will this soulful musician from Scarborough, Ontario hack it, or get sent packing? From rock star to real tough guy, see what happens when Robertson puts down the guitar, takes to the skies and slogs away in some very un-rock star occupations. The new DVD features nine of the 13 episodes in Season 1 showing Robertson doing such taxing jobs as cod fishing, building cars on an assembly line, training with the armed forces, mining for gold, replacing railroad ties, working as a prison guard, building bridges and more!

High-resolution imagery and a press kit with additional information about the short films are available online at: www.VillageLighthouse.com/EdsUp. The suggested retail price of Ed's Up: The Best of Season One is $19.98 and the running time is approximately 189 minutes. The DVD includes a photo slideshow and links to Ed's Up and Barenaked Ladies websites. It is available for prebooking online at Amazon.com and will also be available at local community retailers upon release. Screeners are available upon request.
