We’ve heard it all before…”Yeah they sound great on the album. But for the real deal, you gotta see ’em live!” On the other hand, for introverts and audiophiles alike, the next best thing is a quality live recording. The Werd Company Co-Founder and Behind the Scrim host Drew Dunavan though? He knows the ins and outs of both a tight live production and a pristine home listening experience.
So to get us in gear for Rock the Park‘s Fall Season (kicking off Friday, September 25th ahead of Rock the Park’s 50th concert on Friday, October 23rd), Dunavan drew up a playlist of live music’s crème de la crème. It’s a showcase of lessons learned from the legendary Clifford Antone, modern NPR Music heavyweights, some of the very best from KUTX’s own vault, and more.
