Hot House West is an ensemble whose mission is to celebrate the timeless allure of swing rhythm. Founded in Salt Lake City in 2011, the band cultivates a one-of-a-kind personality blending the virtuosic yet soulful music of Django Reinhardt with their Western roots and American swing influence. The band has become a tight-knit community of some of the country’s top-tier jazz musicians, and the friendship and community spirit they share is immediately palpable. Group vocals, audience interaction, masterful improvisation, and a ceaseless swinging pocket keep audiences smiling, laughing, and tapping their feet from the first note to the last.

On this day in 1979 KRCL first signed on air from its first home above The Blue Mouse Theater in downtown Salt Lake City. Now, 44 years later, KRCL continues to turn the microphones to music and voices that deserve a larger platform.

Give a birthday gift to KRCL here, or join us in person at KRCL's Holiday Soul Party on Saturday, December 9 tickets here.

It’s spring of 2023 in the North Carolina Piedmont, and songwriter and singer M.C. Taylor—leader of the band Hiss Golden Messenger—is feeling alive. Joyful. Eternal, he might say. For the Grammy-nominated musician, whose albums have traced an internal path through adulthood, fatherhood, spirituality, and depression for well over a decade, this is something new. “The tunes on Jump for Joy were composed in free moments throughout 2022, a year during which Hiss was on the road more or less constantly,” explains Taylor. The songs that make up Jump for Joy—the sharpest and most autobiographical that Taylor has written under the Hiss name.

As part of our Black, Bold & Brilliant series, Utah Film Center, in partnership with KRCL, is excited to announce our upcoming film screening and post-discussion of Blurring the Color Line – Wednesday, December 6th at 7 pm at the Downtown Salt Lake City Library. What did it mean to be Chinese in Black spaces during segregation? Follow director Crystal Kwok’s journey of discovery, as she digs into the ways her grandmother’s family navigated life as grocery store owners in the black neighborhood of Augusta, Georgia. Blurring the Color Line is a personal family story told alongside memories from the larger Chinese and Black communities in Georgia, which opens up uncomfortable but necessary conversations around anti-Black racism and the deeply rooted structure of white power and Chinese patriarchy. Which fountain did the Chinese drink from? Where did they sit on the bus? An important entrance into all of our connected histories which many of us never knew or dared speak about. Featuring a roundtable discussion by the Black, Bold & Brilliant team and Ze Min Xiao, President and CEO of the Center for Economic Opportunity and Belonging.
