Today's Song of the Day, as chosen by Cheryl Waters, host of The Midday Show on KEXP, is "First Time" by Jason McCue, a 2021 single on Fluff and Gravy Records.
Back in 2017, Seattle singer/songwriter Jason McCue won the annual Sound Off! competition at MoPop, stunning audiences with his solo performance on acoustic guitar. Since then, he's grown as an artist, evidenced by his most recent releases WASTELAND and PANGAEA. Today, our Song of the Day is his latest single "First Time," his first new music since last year's Apocalypse EP. Listen below.
