Regina Spektor, In-Studio (From the Archives)


Listen Later

Songwriter, pianist, and singer Regina Spektor was born in the then-Soviet Union and moved to the States on the cusp of her teenage years. She began playing small cafes and clubs, before moving up to big arenas, and in 2019, a run of shows at a Broadway theater. Her songs are full of charm, wit, and surprises, and very often portray an outsider trying to make sense of things. This session from 2012, was around the time of her release What We Saw From the Cheap Seats. Here’s Regina Spektor, in-studio to play a few songs from that record.

Set list: "Firewood," "Oh Marcello," "Ballad of a Politician"
