We’re heartbroken to share the news that multi-talented Seattle vocalist, percussionist and songwriter Kenny Hill recently passed away. Kenny was an integral part of the band Robbie Hill’s Family Affair, along with Light in the Attic’s ‘Wheedle’s Groove’ series which documented Seattle’s soul and funk scene during the 1960s, ‘70s and ‘80s — thanks to DJ Supreme La Rock.

As a youngster, Kenny worked at his family’s restaurant Hills Brothers BBQ in Seattle, alongside his brothers Robbie and Will and cousin Zebdee. In 1971, the Hill brothers and Zebedee would form Robbie Hill’s Family Affair with vocalist Bernadette Bascom, bassist Danny Hays, guitarist Phil Martindale, and saxophonist William Hopkins, amongst others. Their tune “I Just Want To Be (Like Myself)” became a local hit, topping the charts at KYAC for three consecutive weeks, while the band would open for national touring bands including Tower of Power and Curtis Mayfield, and later back the Main Ingredient on the Dinah Shore Show. The track “Don’t Give Up,” masterfully composed by Kenny and recorded at RCA Studios in Los Angeles in January 1975 sat unreleased for decades until it saw the light of day in 2013 (Thanks to Rob Santos). It’s a track that we often return to... both inspiring and heavy, the song remains a spiritual soul epic. Take a listen and remember Kenny’s voice and music.

Kenny, we’ll miss you, rest in peace.

We’re sending a big hug to Kenny’s friends and loved ones.

Kenny’s family set up a GoFundMe, asking for support for the family. Every bit helps if you’re able to contribute.

Grateful to have celebrated Lynn Shelton’s Sundance 2026 Legacy screening of “Humpday” with such a lovely community. And for a few days (without kiddos) with my hubby @vincentvonpiglet. 18 years ago we went to Sundance for both Humpday and Little Dizzle. I was reminded that the antidote to these anxious times is finding connection in art and community. I look forward to a year of inspiration, action and kindness. @thealyciadelmore - watching your performance with a more mature mindset blew me away. Brilliant! Thank you @meleslyn and @theduplassbrothers for organizing. And.. thank you, Lynn.

17 years ago HUMPDAY premiered at Sundance and changed the trajectory of many people's lives. Today Sundance screened the film again for their retrospective series and it was incredible to watch it again on the big screen and remember how legitimately stellar a film it remains. It also provided an opportunity for one of the loveliest reunions ever. The bittersweet part was that the person who would have loved it the most was the one who wasn't there. Thinking of Lynn today, and grateful to be surrounded by so many others who loved her.
