This week's schedule

It's a bit of a quiet week for music as many shows are either going on or coming back from hiatus. Some key highlights, however, include Hozier (whose new release, Wasteland, Baby!, is our Album of the Week) on Good Morning America and on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The 2019 BRIT Awards Critics' Choice winner Sam Fender will introduce himself to a larger American audience with an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday, and Bloomington, Indiana's Durand Jones and the Indications score a big spot on CBS This Morning's Saturday Sessions.

A notable rerun this week is Austin City Limits' encore of The Pretenders full-hour set from 2017.

Here's the complete rundown. Check your local listings for broadcast times.*
