Watch Tyler Ballgame cover David Bowie for Best Fit's secret sessions at End of the Road Festival
On a rainy day at End of the Road Festival this past weekend, a voice of an angel sang out as Tyler Ballgame wowed with a cover of David Bowie's "Life on Mars". Tyler's cover – is taken from the Bowie's 1971 no-skips record Hunky Dory – and was part of Best Fit's secret sessions, which also saw performances from The Orchestra (For Now),Throwing Muses, Silver Gore, Truman Sinclair, Jake Xerxes Fussell, The Sophs, Ellie O Neil, Man/Woman/Chainsaw, jasmine.4.t, Lily Seabird, and Stewart Lee with Black Country, New Road. The LA via Rhode Island crooner signed to Rough Trade Records earlier this year and is gearing up to release his debut full-length album, For The First Time, Again, produced by longtime collaborators Jonathan Rado and Ryan Pollie. Best Fit's secret sessions have become a key part of End of the Road each year, bringing together artists from across the line-up in a series of short sets, exlusive cover, collaborations, and live interviews and Q&As. Past guests have included Lucy Dacus, St Vincent, Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, Moses Sumney, Laura Marling, Patti Smith, and Frightened Rabbit - who played a now iconic version of "The Modern Leper".
