Spokane’s music scene is thriving, and Lilac City Sounds with KYRS brings it right to your ears. This monthly series spotlights local artists with intimate live performances recorded in Spokane Public Library’s state-of-the-art studio, paired with thoughtful conversations about their creative journeys.
Hosted by Nera Dougherty of River City Rhythms, each episode offers a closer look at the people shaping Spokane’s musical landscape. Performances are captured by the library’s own creative team—Andy Rumsey, Music Education Specialist and Audio Engineer and Ryan Tucker, Video Education Specialist.
Tune in on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 3pm on KYRS Thin Air Community Radio, or explore past sessions anytime on Spokane Public Library’s YouTube channel.
