Season overview

Mtv Unplugged continues into its sixth season during the year 1995, maintaining the established format of the acclaimed television series. The program features major pop music stars, top artists, and rising industry stars performing acoustic versions of their songs. Throughout the concert series, participating musicians play their biggest hits without the benefit of electronic instruments, utilizing only basic acoustic ones instead. This performance style frequently produces a dramatically different sound for the songs as they are performed for the audience. Created by Robert Small, Jim Burns, and James S. Burns, the documentary and music series showcases these stripped-down musical arrangements in an intimate concert setting, following the premise set by previous seasons where artists such as 10,000 Maniacs, Eric Clapton, Tony Bennett, and Natalie Merchant have appeared.
