How?

How did Willow change from being a punk rocker to a funky Joni Mitchell?

How does Swamp Dogg continue to surprise and maintain his sense of humor?

How did Laufey make the Classic Songbook style contemporary?

How did KNOWER fit an orchestra into a house?

How did the Grateful Dead do a demo in the 80s that sounds contemporary?

How did Kim Gordon do a single that everyone likes?

How does Adrianne Lenker get all those specific references in her lyrics?

How did Tanner Adell blend RnB and country so perfectly?

Oh, Everyone’s Getting Involved- the album on which contemporary artists cover the songs from Stop Making Sense is out May 17th. Much thanks to the artists involved and to the folks at A24 who drove this idea to the finish line.

-David Byrne
