Nate Smith – Live on KEXP

Get ready for a killer live set as drummer Nate Smith and his crew absolutely crush four tracks—“UNDEFEATED,” “AUTOMATIC,” “LAST SIGHT” and “MAGIC DANCE”—recorded October 1, 2025, in the KEXP studio. James Francies brings the keys/synth vibes, Josh Johnson wails on alto sax, and Ben Williams locks in the groove on bass.

Behind the scenes, host Larry Mizell, Jr. keeps the energy up, while Kevin Suggs (audio) and Julian Martlew (mastering) make everything sound crisp. Cameras by Jim Beckmann, Carlos Cruz, Scott Holpainen & Luke Knecht, edited by Luke Knechtn, capture every sweaty beat. Dive in at waterbabymusic.bandcamp.com and kexp.org!
