NewDad Live on KEXP

Irish indie outfit NewDad dropped by KEXP’s Seattle studio on August 12, 2025 to perform their punchy single “Entertainer,” led by Julie Dawson’s vocals and guitar, Sean O’Dowd and Sam “Shrink” Breathwick on guitars (and keys), Fiachra Parslow on drums, and Marie Freiss on bass. Host Cheryl Waters kept the conversation rolling while Kevin Suggs and guest mixer Joseph Futák captured every nuance, with Matt Ogaz on mastering duty.

Behind the scenes, cameras from Jim Beckmann, Carlos Cruz, Scott Holpainen and Luke Knecht (who also edited) bring the session to life. Catch the full set at kexp.org or newdad.live—and don’t forget to join KEXP’s YouTube channel for exclusive perks!
