Upcoming on Morning Becomes Eclectic and KCRW Presents

Monday, December 6, As a musical ambassador, Chico Mann introduces the rhythms of Afrobeat to the music of Cuba on his latest CD, a favorite here at the station. He’ll perform his Latin hybrid with a full band for Morning Becomes Eclectic listeners at 11:15am.

Tuesday, December 7, Los Angeles artist Aloe Blacc started his career as a rapper, but it’s his recent recordings as a singer that have captured our attention. He bathes current concerns about the state of the world in the sound of vintage soul and we’ll hear it live when he joins Morning Becomes Eclectic at 11:15am.

Wednesday, December 8, After a long wait, garage rockers The Greenhornes have reemerged with some fantastic new songs that make us wish they never took a break. The Ohio trio will perform an array of songs from their latest release on Morning Becomes Eclectic at 11:15am.

Monday, December 13, Recent Grammy nominees The Black Keys return to our studios to play tracks from Jason Bentley’s favorite album of the year, “Brothers.” Do not miss this set on Morning Becomes Eclectic at 11:15am.

Wednesday, December 15, Tame Impala is one of the most buzzed about new bands of the year. Hailing all the way from Australia, you can expect a mind-bending set of psychedelic rock when they join Morning Becomes Eclectic at 11:15am.

Friday, December 17, Jenny Lewis and Johnathan Rice are a powerful couple – both musically and romantically. The talented singer songwriters have teamed up as Jenny and Johnny and we’ll be treated to some pop gems when they join Morning Becomes Eclectic as Jenny & Johnny at 11:15am.
