Eddie Chacon & John Carroll Kirby: KCRW Live from HQ

The best things come in pairs: rock and roll, chocolate and peanut butter, and, of course, two cornerstone artists within LA institution Stones Throw Records — multi-instrumentalist/producer John Carroll Kirby, and self-described “low-key R&B legend“ Eddie Chacon. Just ahead of the release of Chacon’s sophomore solo release Sundown (due Mar. 31 via Stones Throw), catch these stalwarts of LA’s creative class doing their thing live and direct from the Annenberg Performance Studio at KCRW HQ. Within these walls, the pair crafts a transportative set. Think: lush meadows under perfect skies. The soft rasp of Chacon’s vocals atop Kirby’s jazzy, New Age production. The dynamic, poignant interpretation of Chacon’s R&B roots. Plus, dig the potent conversation with Morning Becomes Eclectic co-host Anthony Valadez about the influence of LA on the duo’s art, their diverse musical inspirations, and the importance of “never letting anyone talk you out of who you are.” Click in to transcend, and discover
