The Sly Oyster | culture & entertainment on the sly

The Sundance Channel is debuting a new show tonight at 10 p.m.  Live From Abbey Road features three performances from established and lesser known musicians.  They’ll play some songs and talk about the recording process throughout each episode.

They’ve shot twelve episodes to run every Thursday night.  In a way it’s reminiscent of the great program from PBS Austin City Limits.  Only without the audience.

Tonight features Norah Jones, Richard Ashcroft and John Mayer.  Mayer always entertains and whether or not you care for his boring adult contemporary tunes, the dude can rip up the guitar blues-style and never takes himself too seriously.

Other acts scheduled to appear on the show include Snow Patrol, Amos Lee, Dr. John, Gnarls Barkley, David Gilmour, Iron Maiden, Kasabian, Muse, Paul Simon, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, The Zutons, The Killers, The Kooks and one we’re excited for The Good, The Bad & The Queen.

As they say be sure to check your local listings or get those DVRs ready.
