Joe Sumner Debuts New Song on Cardboard Sessions
The singer-songwriter son of Sting shares an intimate acoustic performance for the popular series.
Joe Sumner debuted a new song on Cardboard Sessions, the acoustic performance series known for stripped-down artist recordings.
Sumner, the son of Sting, performed and debuted 'Current Events' — a song he wrote during the session itself, described as a reflection on living in a Cardboard World. During the session, he played every cardboard instrument available, building the song piece by piece with no rehearsal and no prior plan.
Sumner was given a cardboard guitar and a simple prompt: have fun.
