Sessions at West 54th

Sessions at West 54th

"Sessions at West 54th" was an American television program that featured music performances, and was in some ways a pop music variation on the theme set by the long-lived "Austin City Limits", though the featured musicians represented a number of musical genres. It was produced for public television syndicator American Program Service (APS) (now American Public Television, Boston) and was carried on many public television stations. It first aired in most places on July 5, 1997, when it was included in the Saturday late-night lineup of stations covering 85% of the country. After the program ended, an edited for commercial television version also aired on the commercial Trio cable television network.

It was first hosted by radio disc jockey Chris Douridas of KCRW in Santa Monica, California, while former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne took over hosting duties during the second season and John Hiatt was the host during the third, and final, season. The series was named for the street in Manhattan where the television studio was located.
