Passenger: Heartfelt Songs From A British Troubadour

Soundcheck | Dec 17, 2012

Until recently, the British busker-turned-troubadour Mike Rosenberg -- who records under the moniker Passenger -- was an unfamiliar name to American audiences. But that's about to change. This year, the songwriter and guitarist put out his first American release, All The Little Lights, had a song featured in the CBS show Elementary, and has more than 4 million views and counting on YouTube for the song "Let Her Go." 

Passenger performs live in the Soundcheck studio, describes the whirlwind of the past few months, and tells us how a gift from a fan nearly landed him in handcuffs. 

Set List:

  • "Let Her Go"
  • "Life's For The Living"
  • "Feather On The Clyde"
