In addition to this fun and alternative way to experience live music, fans will also be treated to exclusive interviews, as well as content of the artists doing things they love outside of music, from cooking to gardening, surfing, and painting. LiveOne will offer fans a glimpse into the worlds of these musicians, in a more personalized way.

With the new Volkswagen Taos as the exclusive sponsor, the main theme for Garden Sessions is joy, and all the ways we celebrate joyful moments. To coincide with this, LiveOne will feature the artists talking about their favorite spots outside of Los Angeles or New York to get away, reminiscing on touring life memories, and clearing their minds and enjoying themselves. There will also be a focus on giving back to the community, and how the featured artists do their part to bring joy to the lives of others around them.
