Mostly MN Music with KYM and the Kick on upcoming album The Gift of Feeling and release show May 15 at the Hook and Ladder

KYM and the Kick play happy-sounding music with meaning and emotion.  Their new album, The Gift of Feeling, is about the journey toward and celebration of gender euphoria. The songs tell a story with ups and downs but a story of perseverance and learning. It was a delight to have KYM in studio to tell us about the album, which is releasing May 9, and the release party on May 15 at the Hook and Ladder in Minneapolis.

Big thanks to Langen Goldstien (Girl at the Rock Shows) for joining me on air. Be sure to check out her awesome local music and album reviews.

Finally, big thanks to folks who sent us requests and recommendations for MN songs about sunshine! (We could have done a whole show built around Bob Mould! Check out the songs we played below or our aspirational playlist on Spotify.
