With k.d. lang, every song is moving. Every moment just hangs in the air as you wait for her next, undoubtedly perfect note. It’s like she controls the entire atmosphere, not just her incredible voice. Our KCRW Sessions show with k.d. lang at the Malibu Performing Arts Center spotlighted the remarkable singer who has conquered pop, country, jazz and some of the most inspiring collaborations imaginable. She is one of few people who can cover “Hallelujah” and not make you yearn for the original. She owns it.

When asked about her backing band during the interview, she told Chris jokingly that she “likes to surround herself with handsome young men”  Young they were, and talented too. She also proclaimed it is “time to take back country” now that we’ve "survived the last eight years." The Grammy winner reflected on the life changing experience of discovering KCRW in 1995 and Chris said, on her visit to the station, she rode in on a Harley. He asked if it was still her bike of choice. It turns out she’s moved on to a ‘67 Tiger Triumph.

Here the full interview and two sets of music HERE

k.d. lang stopped into our studio for a live Morning Becomes Eclectic performance this morning before our KCRW Sessions show this weekend. The Grammy winner will be performing with a full band in front of a crowd of 500 at the Malibu Performing Arts Center at 7:30pm PST and we are broadcasting the show LIVE on KCRW.com HERE . Host Chris Douridas will also join her on stage for an interview between sets.

k.d. told Nic she was really excited for the show because she loves small venues and that she is performing as a listener to help out a station she loves. (All of our KCRW concerts are benefits for the station.)

k.d. even called KCRW the “world’s greatest station.” There was a LOT of love here this morning and it got us all REALLY excited for Sunday.

Here’s a little preview

And check it out live at 7:30pm PST on Sunday OR in our archives next week.

Tickets for our KCRW Sessions show with k.d. lang on October 12 are on sale to the public starting TODAY!  They can be purchased here: tix.com

We will be hosting the Grammy-winning singer for a full band live performance and interview with host Chris Douridas on October 12 at the Malibu Performing Arts Center. The intimate venue seats just 500 and was built primarily as a recording studio with excellent acoustics. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see k.d. up close and personal. According to a recent review of her live show “intoxicating, thrilling, soaring, hypnotic, beautiful, strong, and pure” are all words that still don’t seem to do her justice…it’s going to be really great. Hope you’ll join us!
