“SXSW is a huge opportunity for those interested in the music industry in general, we have an official music showcase on 3/13 at Rozcos, and we are the media sponsor for a poetry night, and will be involved in a few more ways such as partnering with the Downtown Austin Alliance, doing interviews, and supporting/amplifying our local artists wherever possible!”

“…we have the freedom to champion artists early and support them throughout their journey as they go from obscure infancy to drawing out a passionate fanbase, both in Seattle and around the world. Radio matters in its ability to be early, enthusiastic cheerleaders for artists and bands, and help build awareness and community around them. As a trusted source for exciting new music, I think KEXP has done this for countless bands.”

Our founders/board (Paul, Max and Grace) all met there and started plotting to get a low power community radio station together for our town of roughly 15,000 people 40 minutes south of Austin, Texas. I was hanging around so much I caught wind of the opportunity to have a show and basically inserted myself into any conversation they were having. I think they offered me the Music Director position to scare me away.”
