From late-night and daytime sets to in-studio visits and digital exclusives, Fender in Focus gathers the best of the week's performances from Fender players.
This week, it's Cage the Elephant, Keith Urban, Real Estate and Alt-J.
Cage the Elephant: “Too Late to Say Goodbye”
Kentucky's Cage the Elephant has a new live album called Unpeeled on the way this summer, and they celebrated that announcement with an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers. The energetic band pulled out a treat in a new rendition of the track "Too Late to Say Goodbye", which originally appeared on the Grammy-winning 2015 album Tell Me I'm Pretty. During their Late Night spot, Cage bassist Daniel Tichenor and gutiarist Brad Shultz matched with a white Mustang Bass PJ and Mustang, respectively.
Keith Urban: "The Fighter”
Country superstar Keith Urban walked the boards at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tenn., for a stirring performance of "The Fighter", which comes off his latest album, Ripcord. While the track typically features Carrie Underwood on guest vocals, the Telecaster-toting Urban allowed the Opry crowd to joyfully take her lines.
Real Estate: "Darling”
During an in-studio set for Seattle's KEXP, Real Estate played the breezy single "Darling" with a pair of interesting Fender guitars, as singer Martin Courtney had a killer Fender XII and guitarist Julian Lynch had a great-looking Coronado II. Meanwhile, bassist Alex Bleeker held the rhythm with his Precision Bass.
Alt-J: "In Cold Blood”
Alt-J has been busy of late promoting their third album, Relaxer, and that tour continued with a stop on Conan, where frontman Joe Newman played his Telecaster during the ethereal single "In Cold Blood" while backed by a full horn section.
