NewDad Live on KEXP
Indie up-and-comers NewDad rocked the KEXP studio on August 12, 2025, with a raw, heartfelt take on their single “Pretty.” Frontwoman Julie Dawson’s warm vocals and guitar interplay shine alongside Sean O’Dowd’s riffs, Fiachra Parslow’s driving drums, Sam “Shrink” Breathwick’s keys and guitar textures, and Marie Freiss’s sturdy basslines.
Behind the scenes, host Cheryl Waters kept the vibes flowing while audio engineers Kevin Suggs and guest mixer Joseph Futák captured every nuance, with Matt Ogaz handling mastering. The session was filmed by Jim Beckmann, Carlos Cruz, Scott Holpainen and Luke Knecht (who also edited), making this one of KEXP’s most visually engaging in-studio performances.
