But the best part of that in-studio? Knowing that music lovers all over the world were sharing the same experience I was. I love that hundreds of thousands of people can participate in these exclusive performances without the intimacy and spontaneity being compromised one iota. When Kevin Cole decided to include “Song to the Siren” on Live at KEXP Volume Eight I was over the moon.
KEXP had another banner year for in-studios in 2012. More than 550 artists performed on KEXP: Shovels & Rope, Liars, Best Coast, the Grizzled Mighty, Lemolo, John Cale... and who can forget Stephin Merritt of the Magnetic Fields playing his ukulele live from the KEXP men’s room?
We’re hard at work now assembling our latest collection of these exclusive performances—and you can be part of that creative process.

Make your gift today! And thank you for powering KEXP.
