KEXP'S Community Partnerships and The Vera Project Present A Sound Off! Showcase tonight!

Tonight, Audioasis and the Vera Project will round up EMP Sound Off! Battle Of The Bands alumni as part of KEXP's Community Partnerships Initiative. Each month, KEXP highlights a local non-profit and hosts a concert. All proceeds from each event benefits the non-profit. This installment features Nude Pop, The Fame Riot, Special Explosion, and Vervex. This month, KEXP is proud to spotlight Shepherd's Counseling Services, a private, non-profit organization that strives to build awareness of childhood sexual abuse, and provides affordable, specialized therapy for men and women who were sexually abused as children.
