Live on KEXP

For Live on KEXP, Troy Nelson attempts to condense the massive life and career of Southern rocker Jason Isbell.

With the number of bands and side-projects Ty Segall is involved in, it’s tough to count how many times the wildly-prolific musician has stopped by KEXP but it’s certainly more than one hand’s-worth. His most recent performance for us was behind 2021’s Harmonizer with the Freedom Band. During his set, Segall chats with DJ Morgan about collaborating with his wife Denée for the first time and the necessity of living life in order to find lyrical inspiration. Recorded 02/05/2022.

Ten years after John Richards declared “Ho Hey” the best song of 2012 and bombarded the KEXP airwaves with it for an entire week, The Lumineers returned (virtually) to KEXP.
