The Rhythm of Resilience: The History of Black Music in Seattle
The elusive “Seattle Sound” is not merely a singular genre or style; rather, it's a complex amalgamation of diverse musical influences and histories layered over more than a century. This sonic tapestry has been woven by the hands and voices of countless musicians, each contributing their own unique story and perspective to the city's musical narrative.
Shaina Shepherd back home and back on stage this Saturday at the Tractor Tavern for KEXP 50 Years celebration
The talented Shaina Shepherd is a revered Seattle musical phenom with a voice full of soul, passion, and imagination. Shepherd once again joined us on the Morning Update Show to update Trae Holiday on what’s been up since her last appearance in December 2021. Shepherd also took some time today to share some introspections and observations and learnings from the past few months and how that is impacting her music today. Shepherd is currently in town as she was taken by KEXP to curate a show this weekend at Tractor Tavern in which she will be performing with several other industry heavyweights including Vitamin D. The show is part of KEXP’s 50th Anniversary celebrations.
