Watch those three performances from the show in the videos below. She is also joined by Carpenter for a performance of the classic tune "That's the Way Love Goes," and the two close the show with a take on The Band's "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" in tribute to the late Levon Helm.

    Cinematic electro-pop duo Ringdown, featuring Danni Lee Parpan and Pulitzer and Grammy winner Caroline Shaw, will release its debut album, Lady on the Bike, May 9. The album celebrates the feeling of possibility in myriad forms: the possibility of love; the possibility of creating connection and community in a world trying to pull those things apart; the possibility of making music in new ways. Ringdown will create additional custom sleeves for the first 50 Nonesuch Store vinyl orders. The duo will perform with Sō Percussion and in its own headlining shows this spring and summer.
