MJ Lenderman and his crack band lit up the KEXP studio on September 18, 2025, performing “Joker Lips” live. Alongside MJ’s guitar and vocals, Landon George held down bass, fiddle, and harmonies, Jon Samuels added extra guitar layers, Trevor Nikrant brought pedal steel and keys, and Avery Sullivan drove the beat on drums—all under host Cheryl Waters’ watchful ear.
Behind the scenes, audio engineer Kevin Suggs and mastering guru Matt Ogaz nailed the sound while a five-person camera crew led by Jim Beckmann (who also handled editing) captured every moment.
