MJ Lenderman and his band turn up the heat in a stripped-down KEXP studio session, laying down a spirited live take of “Joker Lips” recorded on September 18, 2025. Cheryl Waters hosts the vibe as MJ handles guitar and vocals, backed by Landon George (bass, fiddle), Jon Samuels (guitar), Trevor Nikrant (pedal steel, keys) and Avery Sullivan (drums).
Behind the scenes, Kevin Suggs mixed the audio, Matt Ogaz mastered it and a crack camera crew—Jim Beckmann, Carlos Cruz, Leah Franks, Scott Holpainen & Luke Knecht—captured all the action. Dive deeper at mjlenderman.com or catch the full video on KEXP’s YouTube channel.
