Upcoming KBOO Co-sponsored Events
KBOO introduces people to new ideas, artists and events every day. We also help promote dozens of local events each year, attracting a representative swath of our diverse audience to events like these:
June 21-24 - Closer Electronic Music Festival A multi-venue festival focused on underground electronic music at Portland's top electronic music venues. Various events held in the central west and east sides will showcase over 50 regional DJs and live acts, along with an exciting selection of guest headliners from up and down the left coast and beyond. Tickets. June 22-23 - Peace is Possible, One Community at a Time
 | | Jody Williams |
A Rotary conference featuring Nobel Peace Laureate Jody Williams, founding coordinator of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines and Admiral Eric Olson (ret.) Commander, U.S. Special Operations Command. Full schedule. Scheduled panels include 'The Role of Women in Preventing War' and 'Conflict Preventions & Peace.' Tickets & registration. June 22-24 - Good in the Hood Multicultural Festival
 Celebrating its 20th year with a brand new, larger location this year, this annual festival features some of the best entertainment in the NW, many cultural food vendors, an Information Village, a Kid Space arts & craft area, and an Ethnic Market-place. Among the many related activities are a Kick-Off Gala on Thursday June 14th and a parade on the 23rd leaving from King School Park. See all of the details.
The second largest blues festival in the US and KBOO has broadcast every single one. We're also the only original sponsor still involved in this amazing benefit for the Oregon Food Bank. There's a remarkable amount of festival info available but just know that 10+ hours of stellar music each day is only $10 plus two cans of non-perishable food per person. Come visit our KBOOth!
Headliners include the Elvin Bishop Band with James Cotton, James Cotton, Galactic, JJ Grey and Mofro, Bettye LaVette, Steve Miller Band, Charlie Musselwhite, Pimps of Joytime, Sugaray Rayford, Booker T and Toots and the Maytals. There are also dozens of other performers.

Welcome to our Development Director
 | |
Lynn Fitch, KBOO's new Development Director
|
I am thrilled to join the staff, board and volunteers who together bring creative, challenging, risky, spontaneous and eclectic radio to Portland. My love affair with community radio began in the 1960s in Seattle, when KRAB fueled my budding activism and appreciation for a broad range of music. Years after that, I was the station manager for a remote community television and radio station in bush Alaska. Now, I'm a listener, a member and a KBOO staff person - assisting others to bring our community music, and cultural and informational programming, with an alternative perspective. For more than twenty years I have helped non-profit organizations diversify their funding streams, build their donor base, promote themselves more effectively, and strengthen their capacity to raise money. That's what I'll be doing at KBOO with your help. If you have ideas about fundraising and want to get more involved, please contact me. Let's put KBOO at the cutting edge of change! I look forward to speaking with you. - Lynn
