Fantastic Cat – WXPN’s Free at Noon (Full Performance)

Starting with the most recent of these performances, these local rockers brought a “Rock And Roll Hall of Fame Eligibility” countdown clock onstage to play tunes from their latest record, Now That’s What I Call Fantastic Cat. The time left, btw? 8,391 days, 3 hours, and ten minutes as of this writing.

Philip Selway – “Picking Up Pieces” (Free At Noon Concert)

The Radiohead drummer brought an orchestra to Free At Noon last September, and we’re frankly still not over it. Let’s make guests who not only play rock instruments less of an anomaly at Free At Noon, yes?

Jon Batiste – Free At Noon Concert (Virtual)

Of course, during the COVID-19 lockdown we couldn’t host Free At Noon for a live audience, but we still had some spectacular guests including Jon Batiste, who performed for XPN from WNYC, a first for us here.
