More amazing musical artists on this year’s @ramblerarts music stage! Announcing Shadow Basket!

@shadowbasket_a_band is a dog rock/indie folk band from San Juan Island, WA. Rooted in lyrical storytelling, Shadow Basket blends elements of folk Americana with driving, grunge-charged rock. Their sound drifts between the ethereal and the grounded, at times light and whimsical, and at others, powerful and intense. This diversity in musicality is captured through what the band affectionately calls their genre: Dog Rock. It’s a sound that, much like a dog following its nose through the neighborhood, meanders and explores with a sense of freedom and spontaneity.

Shadow Basket will be joining the 2026 festival stage as part of a full day of live music, community art, steamroller printmaking, hands-on experiences, and the kind of connection that makes Wayzgoose Kitsap who we are!

Join us June 6 at Sheridan Park Community Center for a free, family-friendly day built by artists, neighbors, and this incredible community!!

I made this video almost 10 years ago.

At the time, I was trying to explain something that’s hard to put into words — what it means to truly love music.

When you love music, you give things up for it. Time. Comfort. Certainty. Sometimes even stability (if you are like me). But the sacrifice never feels like loss… because the work itself becomes the reward.

Sacrifice is love.

And for those of us who chose this path, the journey never really ends.

Still moving. Still creating. Muah. Brooklyn Shanti.

Last week I had the chance to hang out at the @kexp studios in Seattle and had an absolute blast. It’s such an honor to be part of this team and to share mics with such a talented group of people.

GRACIAS CHILLY!

Some personal news from El Sonido in the words of our beloved @deejaychilly:

“It’s with bittersweet excitement that I announce I’ll no longer be a regular co-host on El Sonido. These last fourteen years have brought me so much joy, and it’s been an honor and total blast creating the show and helping KEXP support Latin music and artists from around the world. I’ll still be working in music and will continue to work full-time at KEXP and as a DJ, but it’s time for me to try some more things and to fully pass on the torch to Albina and the next generation(s) of the El Sonido family. I can’t thank the artists, listeners, and everyone in the music scene enough for all the support and love throughout the last decade and a half, and I am so excited to see the community grow. Albina and KEXP are just getting started with Latin music and Spanish-language content, and I’m happy to be here to watch it flower. I’ll continue to tune in and support and, of course, never stop digging for the best music from Latin America, Spain, and across the globe.”

Our love in @albinacabrera’s words:

“El Sonido just turned 14 years on air at KEXP. Since its founding, DJ Chilly, who is also a talented audio producer, photographer, artist, and my family, have shared music from all corners of Latin America. The message reached so far that it led to showcases, Live on KEXP sessions, remote broadcasts throughout LATAM, festivals, and friends around the world. In 2016, we met while doing radio in Buenos Aires, and I joined the show as co-host in 2020 with the honor of being in charge of the Latin content for the radio station of my dreams. From there, and with many friends from every musical scene in Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain, and the global diaspora, El Sonido became a home, a refuge for the sounds of today and tomorrow, never forgetting where we come from. This show has allowed us to create so much together. We will miss you un monton, Chilly. This is YOUR home.”

Tune in to El Sonido every Monday from 7-10 pm on KEXP.org. Follow the link in El Sonido’s bio to hear Chilly’s announcement.
