Jan 21, 2026

KCRW’s signature music program — defying format since 1977. On today's mid-week hang, we hear Flea return to the trumpet, and classic Ritchie Havens returning to his own roots on what would have been his 85th birthday and tickets to see the one and only eccentric Father John Misty perform in Pomona in May. Plus, we unveil a new weekly segment, Nassir Is Hear, selecting a persian pop classic that is going viral to symbolize the resilience of the Iranian people.
