This week's schedule
Now that we're into mid-July, most shows have returned to new episodes, and with that comes a raft of new performances. Highlights this week include Beth Ditto, Jim James, Beck, Brandi Carlile, and Janelle Monáe.
Notable encores include Kacey Musgraves on The Late Late Show with James Corden, and an Austin City Limits from 2015 featuring sets by Gary Clark Jr. and by Courtney Barnett — both of whom will be playing shows at Surly Brewing Festival Field in Minneapolis this year (Sept. 8 and July 21, respectively).
Here's the complete rundown. Check your local listings for broadcast times.*
