DJ Shannon

Playing Key Arena tonight // Played at the Crocodile this time back in 2007

Shannon and Ava met at KEXP when Daughter did their in-studio. Shannon was really pregnant and Ava had no friends. Look how great they both turned out :)

Played on my show 2010, watch it live: www.youtube.com

Discovered on KEXP // Who did you discover?

First in-studio I attended because John in the Morning let me crash it.

Oh the memories. Flew to Chicago to see this band open for Interpol and all they had was an EP. My cat was named Lola. She was born before that EP. :)

Debuted this band

An awesome young band out of Boston that Shannon has championed. We see big things for these guys!

My introduction to Elbow. The album that got me through a tough Winter in Seattle. 2002.

Playing Iceland Airwaves // on my Top 10 of 2016

Ava stumbled upon this live solo performance of Phoshorescent live from the Cutting Room Studios. She first discovered KEXP and has been a fan and supporter ever since 2009: www.youtube.com
