MJ Lenderman and his crew deliver a stripped-down, heartfelt version of Joker Lips live at KEXP’s Seattle studio. Recorded on September 18, 2025, the session features Lenderman on guitar and vocals, backed by Landon George (bass, fiddle), Jon Samuels (guitar), Trevor Nikrant (pedal steel, keys), and Avery Sullivan (drums).
Behind the scenes, audio whizzes Kevin Suggs and Matt Ogaz handle engineering and mastering, while Cheryl Waters hosts. Visuals by Jim Beckmann, Carlos Cruz, Leah Franks, Scott Holpainen, and Luke Knecht tie it all together under Beckmann’s edit eye. Catch the full performance on KEXP’s YouTube channel.
