2. Mavis Staples with Jeff Tweedy on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
Mavis Staples and Jeff Tweedy are readying their Trump-era protest record If All I Was Was Black, and performed the lead single, Build A Bridge, for Colbert. Staples offers an emotional vocal performance, with the backing band maintaining a classic, percussive R&B vibe.
3. King Krule on Conan
English songwriter Archy Marshall, AKA King Krule, recently released The Ooz, an ambitious but mesmerizing album that blends electronics, hip-hop and rock into a strange whole. He recently performed “Dum Surfer” on Conan, in a trippy, experimental performane that uses delay pedals, electronics and a rapping vocal delivery for a truly unique and spellbinding performance.
4. William Patrick Corgan on The Late Late Show with James Corden
Smashing Pumpkins Billy Corgan is still touring to promote his solo record, Ogilala, and offered a spacious, acoustic version of “The Spaniards” for James Corden. The songwriting is stellar and the performance features some fine acoustic picking.
