Live on KEXP: MJ Lenderman – “Rip Torn”

MJ Lenderman and his band ripped through a raw, rootsy take on “Rip Torn” live in the KEXP studio on September 18, 2025. He’s backed by Landon George (bass, fiddle), Jon Samuels (guitar), Trevor Nikrant (pedal steel, keys), and Avery Sullivan (drums), with Cheryl Waters hosting the session.

Behind the scenes, Kevin Suggs handled the audio engineering and Matt Ogaz took care of mastering, while a full camera crew (Jim Beckmann, Carlos Cruz, Leah Franks, Scott Holpainen & Luke Knecht) captured every moment, edited by Jim Beckmann. Check out more at mjlenderman.com or kexp.org.
