Just for the name drop, Nigel is Radiohead’s producer. He’s been working on this project where musicians come and perform to a few people and some cameras, with the intent on keeping the advertising and promotion out of it so bands feel more comfortable.

Anyways, you get the gist. There’s a nice line-up of artists, with 2-5 songs per musician so prepare yourself for a night of intimate performance!

ps. The quality is 10x better on the site than on YouTube.

Fleet Foxes – Blue Ridge Mountains
