Hawthorne’s Cuco kicks off our Live From series with an intimate, career-spanning performance that includes "Aura" from his new LP "Fantasy Getaway." He also sits down with Morning Becomes Eclectic's Novena Carmel and Anthony Valadez for a conversation that goes deep on getting sober, learning to trust, and his self-described “psychotic” approach to musical reinvention. Head to KCRW.com/livefrom for more from the interview, behind-the-scenes photos, and can't-miss performances from your favorite artists and rising talents.
