Bachelor [Performance & Interview Only]
For musicians Melina Duterte and Ellen Kemper, the collaborative project Bachelor is not just one of musical expression but also friendship. The week they took away from their solo projects - Jay Som and Palehound, respectively - to make the EP Doomin’ Sun was full of not just music-making but also cooking, hot tubbing, TV watching, and just general bonding. Speaking with Cheryl Waters, the duo share memories of that incredible week, insight into their record-making process, and their thoughts on why they make such great collaborators and friends.

Customer Reviews
#1 Radio Station
If you hear someone gripe about there not being any good music on the radio, point them to KEXP. That will cure them.
Kexp 4 life
I just wished we had a radio station like this one in my hometown....thks a lot for all the great discovery !!! Fan from Montreal Canada ... Love you guys
Range
Kexp hits the mark for all people, and sometimes, the manage to do this all at once! Speaking for all people is a tall order but I was ordained as bishop of the 5th burrow back alleys.
I can only speak for myself and even though my musical tastes are vast these guys test the limits of my knowledge and range. They have allot of global artists and this is challenging for artist and audience.
Also they dont just play pop so if your looking for pop hits and strictly NAmerican music this has allot for you but is more about exploring the musical experience of life
