Sean Lennon and Charlotte Kemp Muhl
As you might guess from the band's name, The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger makes songs that are ornate, fanciful, tuneful, and unusual. It's a collaborative duo featuring Sean Lennon (son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono) and his partner in life and music, Charlotte Kemp Muhl. They play multiple instruments, and sing in harmony about elegant gardens, dystopian futures, striving scientists, a smarmy impresario, and much more. Host David Garland brings them to the WNYC Studio for lively conversation and performances.

Their such awesome people! Charlotte seems so modest and has such a great voice even not singing. This is a great duo! So amazing. Their music is beautiful
I've relaxed listening to this now about six times. It is so lovely...it also reminds me of some of Elliott Smith, it touches me the way his tune,
Clementine...etherial

Great interview. They are very intelligent people and their music is smart and innovative.
I absolutely LOVE Sean and Charlotte! I am looking forward to their new album!
Very entertaining and very interesting, a magical combination making great music!
A delayed post: this show was incredible. Their music and lyrics are beautiful and thoughtful and surprising. I could listen to it over and over. And the interview was entertaining from start to finish. Thank you so much from a very satisfied WNYC Member.
Wonderful music. Listening to Sean's thoughts about his connection to his dad through music is heart wrenching.
Your hour with Sean Lennon and Charlotte Kemp Muhl is one of the most charming and entertaining programs of this type I have had the pleasure of hearing. All three of you seemed to be so attuned to each other ... A terrific combination of great interviewer and interviewees. If there is an award for this category of programing, I urge the management of WNYC to nominate this segment for it immediately. "Thank you" to you, David, your staff, and Sean and Charlotte.
