Black Country, New Road – “Besties” on KEXP

Catch the genre-bending UK outfit Black Country, New Road ripping through their single “Besties” live in the KEXP studio on May 26, 2025. It’s an intimate, off-the-cuff session that showcases the band’s raw energy and improvisational chops—think sax, violin, accordion and vocals all swirling together in perfect delightful chaos.

Lineup highlights include Tyler Hyde switching between bass, guitar and vocals, Georgia Ellery on violin/mandolin, plus Lewis Evans’s sax flourishes and May Kershaw’s keys and accordion magic. Behind the scenes, Troy Nelson hosts while Jon Roberts, James Riding and Matt Ogaz keep the sound crisp, and a crack team of camera operators and editors bring the whole experience to life.
