Episodes

Hannah Levin has been hosting KEXP’s long-running local music show, Audioasis, for a little over a year and a half now, and one of the most enjoyable parts of her job is the thrill of our weekly in-studio performances. Every Saturday evening between 6 and 9 p.m., KEXP invites two local bands to stop by and play a few songs.

Even with the knowledge that Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Dolly Parton, and a handful of other stalwarts were the masters of that domain, it wasn’t until she stumbled into a Johnny Dowd show that she realized just how much she was missing.
