Summer Fund Drive

The Trump Administration has sent Congress a rescissions package that would claw back already-approved funding for public media, including KBCS. These cuts would leave KBCS with a 10% gap in its budget. Our Summer Fund Drive starts Thursday, but you can help safeguard your favorite KBCS programs today. Please, donate now and thank you in advance.

She joined Flotation Device host Michael Schell to talk about her two new recordings, her early influences, her current projects, and the role of Björk on putting Icelandic music on the map.
