Week ending May 17, 2024 - Portland startup news

I sat down to visit with Red Dirt artist Kaitlin Butts. She returns to the 2024 Jackalope Jamboree in Pendleton on Friday June 28th. That same night, she will release her new album! Give a listen. This girl has it going on! And hear her music on 103.5 K-Wheat!

6/17 EMG's Doug Donoho Talks w/Kaitlin Butts

We spoke with Robert Brooks about his upcoming event August 24th - 25th at the Pendleton Convention Center and his history running Pendleton Boxing here in Pendleton, OR.  Our interview trails off as we witnessed an altercation in the parking lot and we took a break. Interview continued afterwards, but this has been cut short to highlight the boxing event and gym itself.  If you want to let us know about your organization or cause, email us at kcuwradio@ctuir.org
