Yeasayer and Bon Iver Take on Late Night TV //

Two of my favorite artists brought their new stuff to late night TV last night.  First up, Yeasayer premiered a brand new song, “The Devil and the Deed,” on Conan. 

Then, Bon Iver went on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to perform a beautiful cover of Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me,” with a little bit of “Nick of Time” thrown in for fun.

New England vagabonds — don’t miss your chance to witness this legendary group in all their glory this Saturday, July 24th at the Newport Yachting Center as part of the Sunset Music Series. They killed it in NYC last week (watch above).

And check out their new release ‘Duets’ - featuring collaborations with Ben Harper, Randy Travis, Bonnie Raitt, and previously unreleased recordings with Lou Reed, John Hammond, and Toots Hibbert. WOWZA.

Music to your ears. From mine. With love. -k
