Usually when you hear NPR correspondent Ari Shapiro on KPCC, he’s reporting on the Justice Department or domestic surveillance. But he also sings. He’ll do that Saturday, September 19th at the Hollywood Bowl when he appears with the band Pink Martini of Portland, Oregon. Ari told KPCC's Alex Cohen how he got involved with the band and his thoughts on his big Southern California debut.

I was at the Hollywood Bowl last Saturday - and wow. Ari needs a new agent. Let him make a small fortune with a recording contract for a couple of years. But then we want him back at NPR - for his brains, of course.
