On August 12, 2025, Irish indie up-and-comers NewDad rocked the KEXP studio with a spirited live take on “Entertainer,” led by Julie Dawson’s smoky vocals and jangly guitar riffs. Host Cheryl Waters kept the vibes flowing, while engineer Kevin Suggs (with guest mixer Joseph Futák) captured every beat.
Backing Dawson, Sean O’Dowd and Sam “Shrink” Breathwick shredded on guitars (and keys), Marie Freiss locked in the bassline, and Fiachra Parslow held it all together on drums. Cameras rolled under Jim Beckmann, Carlos Cruz, Scott Holpainen & Luke Knecht’s lenses, with Knecht also handling the edit and Matt Ogaz nailing the final polish in mastering.
