Encore: Bartees Strange joins host Stephen Kallao

Bartees Strange has had an extremely broad musical evolution – From attending opera camp, to playing in punk rock bands as a teenager, and working as a hip-hop producer. His debut album, Live Forever, finds space for all of those past influences. We’ll find out how they fuse together as he shares a live performance. Plus, Bartees talks with host Stephen Kallao about his earlier project covering one of his favorite bands, The National, as well as more of his thoughts on race and rock ‘n’ roll.
