MJ Lenderman performs ‘Joker Lips’ on Jimmy Kimmel Live

MJ Lenderman has performed ‘Joker Lips’ from his 2024 album ‘Manning Fireworks’ on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.

The performance saw Lenderman and his band The Wind deliver the track against a backdrop inspired by the hand-painted artwork of ‘Manning Fireworks’. While maintaining the song’s warm guitar work and steady pace, Lenderman opted to gesture rather than deliver certain explicit lyrics during the performance.

The appearance follows Lenderman’s recent performances on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where he performed ‘Wristwatch’.
