Here’s First Aid Kit on BBC Radio 6 Music (Radcliffe and Maconie) talking about their Willie Nelson cover ‘On the Road Again’.

First Aid Kit are back with a new single – a cover of ‘On the Road Again’ by Willie Nelson. Proceeds go to benefit Crew Nation. The song was previously used in a Swedish Volvo commercial.

Looks like today’s ‘Livestream’ may be a false alarm. It doesn’t appear to be an actual live performance but one from the archives (if I’ve understood things correctly!).

First Aid Kit are back! No, you can’t go to see them in person yet but, according to Bandsintown, they will be live-streaming as part of Virtual Musikfest 2020.  See details below:

Looks like Greta Thunberg is a big fan of First Aid Kit. Greta picked ‘Emmylou’ as the closing song for her recent radio broadcast.  A snippet of the tune is also featured earlier in the programme.

Finally she arrived. Baby no name. On June 18 after 48 long and tormenting hours of labour, my baby bird was guided into my arms. It’s been a whirlwind of emotions since. I’m still in a state of chock. My life will never be the same. It’s terrifying but oh, so beautiful. 🧡

Klara and Johanna have been in the studio mixing an ‘oldie but goldie’ which they plan to release in the autumn.
