Nicole Atkins has released a first look premiere of her performance of "Captain" from the new episode of the Artists Den weekly series Live From My Den. The full episode is set to air this Friday, April 29. The performance and interview were filmed at Nashville, TN's Sometimes. "Captain" is taken from Atkins' most recent acclaimed records. It originally appeared on 2020's Italian Ice and was reimagined for her 2021 album Memphis Ice.
Live from My Den is made possible and brought to life by Hard Rock, and in partnership with FUJIFILM North America Corporation (Fujifilm).
The third season of Live from My Den will feature a wide range of top artists and rising stars spanning an equally diverse array of musical genres, including Pinegrove who released their video of "Iodine" in the first episode, Justin Quiles' "Loco" in episode two last weej, and synth-pop duo Magdalena Bay. Three episodes were filmed in iconic Hard Rock locations across the country (The Guitar Hotel at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Hard Rock Cafe Hollywood, and Hard Rock Cafe New Orleans) with intimate live audiences of fans.
Along with dynamic live performances, each artist will answer questions drawn from their own fan communities. In the Creative Tour segment, artists offer a peek into their artistic spaces and processes, including tours of their homes, recording studios, album artwork, or even their favorite restaurants. With its intimate setting and inspiring approach, Live from My Den gives fans a truly unique hi-fidelity experience with a caliber of storytelling that has made Artists Den a global hallmark for more than a decade. Hard Rock has been at the heart of one-of-a-kind live music and entertainment for 50 years and these episodes help to tell a deeper story of how location has inspired memorable moments of artists' creativity and passion through their music.
With support from Fujifilm, a group of seven aspiring image-makers has been selected for the exclusive opportunity to learn first-hand – from the Artists Den production team – how an episode of Live from My Den is made. They will be given time with the crew to ask questions, receive hands-on training with FUJIFILM X Series and GFX System cameras and lenses, and get a chance to experience the inner workings of a multi-camera production live while documenting it all with Fujifilm gear.

Furthermore, each episode of Live from My Den highlights a local charity organization important to the artist, to be promoted via donation links and targeted messaging. In this uncertain time, as we work through the complexities of living in a post-pandemic world, Artists Den and its partners are excited to give back to the community through Delivering Good, an organization uniting retailers, manufacturers, foundations, and individuals to support people affected by poverty and tragedy, including those displaced from their homes due to the conflict in Ukraine.
