Upcoming Live Performances on MORNING BECOMES ECLECTIC with host JASON BENTLEY
Tuesday, June 16, The long-running Norwegian jazz collective Jaga Jazzist have been experimenting with sounds for two decades and truly sound like no other band. Their latest effort “Starfire” is filled with otherworldly sounds that they will bring to our studio for a live set, with Garth Trinidad as guest host.
Wednesday, June 17, Soul crusader Bilal shines a light on today’s sociopolitical environment on his new album. The classically trained singer from Philadelphia is planning a one of a kind performance for KCRW, guest hosted by Anthony Valadez. Don’t miss it!
Thursday, June 18, Surfer Blood’s latest album marks a return to the bands DIY ethos. They hunkered down in the living room of drummer Tyler Schwarz’ parents’ house to recapture the exuberance of their early recordings and we’ll welcome them to our basement for a live session with guest host Anne Litt.
Friday, June 19, Cayucas’ debut of sun-kissed jangly pop earned them a huge following and they are back with a confident set of new tunes that add feelings of nostalgia and, at times, melancholy into their catchy sound. DJ Raul Campos guest hosts.
Tuesday, June 23, De Lux have concocted the perfect mix of disco, post-punk and funk on their sophomore album, “Generation”. They have a knack for catchy, danceable tracks and we welcome them in the studio for a live set.
Thursday, June 25 We’re always excited about a new record from Vetiver’s Andy Cabic. He composed “Complete Strangers” to the rhythm of his own footsteps as he walked the streets of San Francisco, but recorded the album here in LA. He’ll return to share the new tracks with us.
Friday, June 26, Joy Williams is best known as one half of the Grammy-winning duo The Civil Wars. They parted ways last year and Joy is stepping out on her own with a solo album that is both powerful and personal, addressing the split, motherhood and more.
