Music Heals: Beyond Cancer

Tune in Thursday, July 21st, 2022 for ‘Music Heals: Beyond Cancer’, a day dedicated to the power of music to lift our spirits and heal our souls in the face of cancer. Throughout the day, KEXP will tell the stories shared with us by members of our community and play the songs that helped them through the healing process.

If you would like to share your story and song, please send them in now to stories@kexp.org and tune in to hear those stories and songs on the air. Thanks to Seattle Cancer Care Alliance for bringing our community together around hope and healing.
