David Letterman to Co-Host SiriusXM’s Outlaw Country Channel, With Featured Performances From His Favorite Artists

David Letterman will join SiriusXM host Elizabeth Cook in studio on her Outlaw Country show, Apron Strings, to chat about his passion for roots music on Wednesday, May 24, at 9 a.m. ET.

The show will feature some of Dave’s favorite performances from his longtime gig as host of The Late Show With David Letterman, including:

  • Jerry Garcia and David Grisman (1993)
  • Nanci Griffith with Guy Clark, Jerry Jeff Walker, Steve Earle, Rodney Crowell, Jimmy Dale Gilmore, Eric Taylor (1998)

“I love Elizabeth Cook,” said Dave. “She’s the best thing on Outlaw Country. Full disclosure, we briefly married in the ’50s. Listening to her show, Apron Strings, makes me want to steal a car and drive to Barstow. She’s just that good.”

Joining Elizabeth and Dave in the Apron Strings studio will be longtime Late Show With David Letterman musical director Paul Shaffer.

Apron Strings with Elizabeth, Dave and Paul will premiere on Wednesday, May 24, at 9 a.m. ET on SiriusXM’s Outlaw Country, via satellite on channel 60 and through the SiriusXM app on smartphones and other connected devices, as well as online at siriusxm.com.
