This week sees "Spectacle: Elvis Costello with She & Him, Jenny Lewis and Jakob Dylan" on Wednesday, February 11th.
Spectacle has a varied group of young singers and songwriters - Jenny Lewis (ex-Rilo Kiley); Jakob Dylan (ex-Wallflowers) and the acclaimed indie duo She & Him, comprised of singer-songwriter and actress Zooey Deschanel and guitarist/producer M. Ward.
They all hail from show business families.
Elvis explores this theme, as well as their various talents and musical adventures, in revealing interview segments. A good deal of musical performance and collaboration transpires too, with Jenny Lewis and Elvis teaming up for a rousing version of a song from her new album (on which EC also appears); Jakob Dylan demonstrating a stripped-down version of one of his Wallflowers hits, before duet-ing with Elvis on a lovely new song; She & Him showing off their intriguing, timeless sound; and the entire group hooking up for a fitting finale on one of the host's signature hits.
Jenny Lewis: Working with Matt of She and Him - Jenny Lewis tells Elvis Costello about the support and encouragement she received from Matt Ward during the creation of her solo record.
Jakob Dylan on Songwriting - Jakob Dylan tells Elvis Costello how working with an acoustic guitar made the most sense to him during his songwriting process.
