Upcoming Live Performances on MORNING BECOMES ECLECTIC with host JASON BENTLEY

Tuesday, September 16, Ryan Adams 14th studio album was recorded at his own Pax AM studios here in LA. The self-titled work is heartland rock at its finest, with Ryan’s special flare. The singer-songwriter recorded a special session for us at the legendary Village Recording Studios which you can hear on Morning Becomes Eclectic at 11:15am.

Friday, September 26, Toumani & Sidiki combine for a rare father-and-son collaboration. Toumani Diabaté –a genius of African music who is widely recognized as one of the world’s best kora players – plays duets with his son Sidiki, the instrument’s emerging star. Hear it live on Morning Becomes Eclectic at 11:15am.
