About this Episode
On this episode of the Dive and after a particularly rough newsday, Brianna presses pause on the feed in favor of an all-Portland mixtape. Because despite our dystopian reality, art is what brings us together, lifts us up and reminds us of our shared humanity. So maybe close out your news feed, put your feet up for a few minutes, and let's listen to ten local musicians who are changing Portland's musical landscape.
We'll also chat with Kingsley, our songstress cover model, about the inspiration behind her recent album, Crying on Holidays, as we listen to a few of her all time favorite tracks.
