Valerie June stopped by KEXP on June 23, 2025, laying down a soul-stirring version of “Life I Used To Live” with her tight-knit crew—Jason DiMatteo (bass), Sean Walsh (guitar), John Deley (keys) and Caito Sanchez (drums)—all chiming in on backing vocals. Her smoky lead vocals float above dusty grooves and warm harmonies, making for an unforgettable live-in-studio vibe.
Behind the scenes, Cheryl Waters hosted while Julian Martlew and guest Tony Volpe manned the boards, with Matt Ogaz handling mastering. The session was captured by a team of camera pros (Jim Beckmann, Carlos Cruz, Leah Franks, Scott Holpainen & Luke Knecht) and edited by Jim Beckmann.
