One Friday in February 2013, KEXP Morning Show host John Richards decided that one Clash song wasn’t enough, and so International Clash Day was born.This year, KEXP observes the fifth annual International Clash Day on Tuesday, February 7th.
Tonight, October 11th, KEXP will be hosting Music Heals Mental Health: A Tribute to Scott Hutchison. Here, some of the artists playing the event share what the music of the Frightened Rabbit and Owl John frontman means to them.
The release consists of rarities like B-sides, alternate takes, film soundtrack songs, plus covers of Elton John’s “Rocket Man” and “Candle in the Wind,” as well as George and Ira Gershwin’s “The Man I Love”
