Boyd and Einziger talk to Billboard's Behind the Setlist podcast about playing the album front to back in concert, going into the studio to record new material, why they love playing in South America, what they do to stay healthy while on the road, and much more.

Perry Farrell is one of a kind. He co-founded Jane's Addiction and left a lasting mark on rock music with the original band members' initial run of three albums: Jane's Addiction (1987), Nothing's Shocking (1988) and Ritual de lo Habitual (1990), the latter getting a boost into the mainstream from the song "Been Caught Stealing." Farrell also co-founded the traveling music festival Lollapalooza for the band's farewell tour in 1991 but continued the tour annually until 1998 (it brought back to life in Chicago in 2005 and has since expanded to Chile, Brazil and Argentina). Farrell and the three original members of Jane's Addiction are back with a new single, "Imminent Redemption" (released June 24) and a co-headlining tour of the U.S. with Love and Rockets. That kicks on August 9 in Las Vegas and runs to Sept. 26 in Indianapolis.

Melissa Etheridge had wanted to perform at a prison for decades. In fact, she grew up within a stone's throw of a penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kansas, where Johnny Cash performed in 1970. "Prisons must be a place of great entertainment," she thought to herself, "and someday I'm gonna grow up and play a prison." Decades later, after a string of platinum albums and multiple Grammy Awards, Etheridge fulfilled her wish. The concert is memorialized in a moving two-part docuseries, "I'm Not Broken" (available not on Paramount+) and a new live album, I'm Not Broken: Live at Topeka Correctional Facility. Melissa talks to Billboard's Behind the Setlist podcast about how the show and series came together, her new song "A Burning Women," and why it was unlike any other concert she's ever performed.

Mat Kearney's self-titled, 8th studio album (released May 15 through Middle Kid Records) adds a dash of the early '80s to his highly crafted songwriting. Mat was enamored by the band The Brook & The Bluff, he tells Billboard's Behind the Setlist podcast, and had them back him in the studio to capture the exact sound he wanted (he also went for the sound of one of his favorite albums, Paul Simon's Graceland). Mat also talks about the contentedness he feels at this stage in his career, why he loves playing mid-sized theaters, his creative process in the studio, his popularity on the West Coast, the joy of touring and performing as a trio, the rising cost of renting a tour bus, and that one time he played Camila Cabello's "Havana" at a show in Oakland.
