KXT 91.7 and sister site Art & Seek’s joint venture On The Road finds musicians out and about and brings these great performances online. From soundcheck sessions, back alleys and rooftops, these musicians play stripped down versions of their latest hits or beloved classics.
For the COVID-19 / social-distancing era, we’ve temporarily nicknamed this Live Sessions performance project On The Couch, which features self-recorded performances in the artists’ own comfortable spaces.
Enjoy:
