Concert season doesn’t belong to just one generation — and this month on Takin’ A Walk, we’re proving it.

Welcome back to Live and Legendary, our April celebration of what happens when artists leave the studio behind and take their music to the masses. Because the road doesn’t care how you got there — it only cares what you bring when the lights go up.

And today’s guests bring everything.

If you’ve been anywhere near a festival lineup, a stadium stage, or honestly just a packed arena full of people who know every single word — you already know AJR. Brothers Jack and Ryan Met have built something genuinely rare in modern music: a sound that’s completely their own, a fanbase that’s ferociously loyal, and a live show that turns their layered, maximalist production into a full-blown shared experience.

They write it, produce it, perform it — and then they go out and own it night after night in front of thousands of people who feel like these songs were written just for them. Because in a lot of ways, they were.

This is a band that understands the assignment — on the record and on the stage.

Today, brothers Jack and Ryan Met of AJR join us on the Live and Legendary encore episode — and talk about the journey from bedroom producers to headline acts selling out venues across the globe.
