Acoustic Café to feature rock legend Sting as in-studio guest this Sunday
Recorded when he was in town for two sold-out nights at The Fillmore in September, Sting spoke about this latest phase of his storied career, his Broadway musical, recent collaborations and more.
Sting joined "Acoustic Café" in studio with guitarist Dominic Miller and drummer Chris Maas during their tour stop at The Fillmore in Detroit last month.
Coming up this Sunday on Acoustic Café, the in-studio guest will be rock ‘n’ roll icon Sting.
Sting’s voice arrived in the new wave era as the frontman for The Police. And up until that point the world really hadn’t heard anything like it. The Police made five iconic albums between 1978-1983, and then called it a day. By 1985, Sting was not only established in music, but film as well, and the movie roles didn’t slow his solo career at all — now having released 15 solo albums.
After the first night of his current North American tour, Sting brought guitarist Dominic Miller and drummer Chris Maas to our studio at Big Sky Recording in Ann Arbor for their brand new song, a couple from Sting’s vast catalog and a classic from The Police. Our discussion included this new phase of Sting’s career (Sting 3.0), recent collaborations, his Broadway musical (The Last Ship) which may become an opera soon, and lots more.
Tune in to Acoustic Café from 1-3 p.m. this Sunday on 101.9 WDET FM, on the mobile app or online at wdet.org to hear the full interview.
