Best Music on TV this week
The best way to hear new music and discover new artists? We have several avenues we enjoy, but a good bet is checking out a performance on the tube. Here’s a collection of the best tunes you can find this week on TV. The two biggest headlines from the talk show music circuit this week? Late Night with Jimmy Fallon debuts Monday, March 2 with the coolest house band ever, The Roots. And U2 whose new album releases Tuesday, March 3, will play the entire week on Letterman. If you know of anything else showing, please share here!

You have a thumbnail picture of me next to Best Music on TV this week yet you don’t have me listed anywhere in your article? That is “ok” though because I don’t do TV.
