On the show this time, it's the Mexican-American indie-folk of Portland's Y La Bamba. Y La Bamba is the band name of Luz Elena Mendoza-Ramirez. They've been making music since the mid 2000s, starting out like many a great band - playing the open mics around their part time hometown of Portland Oregon. Over the years the band has changed, but the community around it has only grown. They've worked with folks like Chris Funk from the Decemberists, Steve Berlin from Los Lobos, and Sergio Mendoza from Calexico. They've toured with Neko Case and the Lumineers. They've hit the Billboard Latin Pop charts, NPR's top lists, and stolen the hearts of every independent radio station that took the time to listen. Their latest album, 'Lucha,' is available on Tender Loving Empire. Recorded 04/27/2023.

Sarah Marshall is a born and raised Oregonian and creates an array of handmade hot sauces reflect her love for and deep connection to her home. Sarah and her husband Dirk have been making and selling spicy sauces in Portland, Oregon since 2011. On the podcast Sarah shares how she's driven by her passion for preserving Oregon's incredible local agricultural bounty and their shared desire to create a family business around that passion. Sarah shares their journey of going from making 12-jar batches in her home kitchen to making 200 jar batches in a commercial space. But, even as they've grown, their fundamental practice has remained the same. Every bottle of sauce still passes through each of their hands, with Sarah doing all of the sauce-making and flavor brainstorming, while Dirk chops, labels and ships out orders. Sarah explains the whole process behind a really cool collaboration hot sauce with the Heatonist as an example. https://marshallshautesauce.com/ @Marshallshautesauce Music on this podcast is by Vita and the Woolf, with the song "Home".

The Shivas - "Undone," a 2021 single on Tender Loving Empire. Portland psych-rock band The Shivas return with their fifth full-length, Feels So Good // Feels So Bad, an album they say was inspired by self-acceptance. “I do think it's about acceptance,” Drummer/vocalist Kristin Leonard says in a press release. “There's a weird relaxation that comes with being at peace with things you can't control or have regrets about.” Today's Song of the Day almost serves as the album's manifesto, a song about finding that peace and balance. “‘Undone' was written by myself as a kind of homage to the times in our life when we rebound from periods of darkness to states of exuberance that easily go too far into the realm of darkness all over again,” Leonard toldFlood Magazine. “When we bounce back from times of depression and anxiety and then find ourselves enjoying life a whole lot… Life's about finding balance. But in order to find that balance, some healthy reflection and acceptance about where we've been is necessary to push us forward with love and wisdom on our journey. So 'Undone' is me reflecting on those aspects of myself. And I think most of us can relate.” Read the full post on KEXP.org Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/donate See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
