Vetiver and More on KCRW This Week

Written by

**You might notice we don’t have many live performances coming up – that’s because we’re about to enter Summer pledge drive mode THIS Thursday, August 11.

We actually have a new gift offering this year that is already available – and perfect if you love KCRW’s live sets. The KCRW Music Stick is a custom designed flash drive loaded with the best live performances from Morning Becomes Eclectic, including songs by Adele, Band of Horses, The Decemberists, Beck and Charlotte Gainsbourg, Manu Chao, Vampire Weekend, MGMT, The Avett Brothers and more.  Grab it here
