Watch Janet Weiss Jam with Kermit the Frog in Her First Public Performance Since Leaving Sleater-Kinney
Last weekend, Weiss return to the public eye, and the circumstances were arguably as unexpected as the news that she quit Sleater-Kinney. On Sunday, Weiss made an appearance at the Newport Folk Festival, where the legendary drummer anchored Kermit the Frog’s backing band for a performance of “The Rainbow Connection.” About a minute into the utopian ditty, My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James also came on stage to duet with the felt frog.
