Music

For more than a decade, a Portland musician has been performing as Red Yarn, making music that appeals to families. We'll hear about his latest album, "The Get Together."

Hosts from KMHD dig into their collections, pull out a gem, and tell us why the album is essential.

Herbie Hancock is more than the world’s greatest living jazz musician, he’s a platinum-album making, billboard-chart-topping, Oscar and Grammy award winning force of nature. Hancock spoke with KMHD via his studio in California to discuss the new quintet on his worldwide tour, why he will never become the jazz police and his meaning of jazz without boundaries.

Steve Harwell, the longtime frontman of the Grammy-nominated pop rock band Smash Mouth, has died.

A statement on Jimmy Buffett's website has disclosed the cause of the singer-songwriter's death: a rare, aggressive skin cancer.

Singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett, who popularized beach bum soft rock with the escapist Caribbean-flavored song “Margaritaville” and turned that celebration of loafing into a billion-dollar empire of restaurants, resorts and frozen concoctions, has died. He was 76.

This unpredictable, funky set showcases the distinctive creative interplay between each player's personality.

The indie folk band took over downtown Portland’s Pioneer Courthouse Square on Thursday.

Fans started lining up outside Portland’s Pioneer Courthouse Square eight hours before the band took to the stage.
