This week's schedule
Last Friday, May 3, Vampire Weekend released their new album, Father of the Bride, and they'll be appearing on two shows this week — The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday and on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday — to perform songs from the new record.
Also this week, look for a performance by Ex Hex to feature on Last Call with Carson Daly on Monday, and for Ivor Novello Award-winning songwriter Tom Odell to be welcomed by his fellow Briton, James Corden, on The Late Late Show on Tuesday. Chicago-based poet/songwriter Jamila Woods, whose music is featured on this week's New Hot with David Safar, kicks off the weekend with a performance on CBS This Morning's Saturday Sessions.
A highly notable rerun this week is the encore of John Prine's hour-long set on Austin City Limits.
