I stumbled upon this the other day, and thought it was a pretty cool concept, put together by local station kut 90.5. Thus, I share with you, the Retread Sessions.

KUT’s Retread Sessions are unique live performances in which musicians are given a chance to reexamine and reconstruct songs outside of the traditional performance locales. Stepping out of the studio, off the stage and into the world that influences their sound to give intimate performances, these artists showcase the beauty of great songwriting, the art of improvisation and a devotion to evolving that quickly becomes addictive to watch. Paige Maguire curates, directs and produces the series for NPR affiliate KUT 90.5 FM in Austin, Texas.
