Joe Kye is a Korean American classically trained musician and storyteller who has opened for Yo-Yo Ma, comedian Hari Kondabolu and Senator Bernie Sanders. He is also the creator of Tiger Tiger, a one-day festival taking place in Portland this Sunday which features musicians, poets and food carts celebrating the Asian American and Pacific Islander community. But it is also a space for healing and “radical joy” organized by Kye in response to the anti-Asian bias and attacks which have surged during the pandemic. Joe Kye joins us to share his vision for Tiger Tiger and how his identity as a first generation immigrant has shaped his music. Julia McGarrity also joins us. She is the lead singer of June Magnolia which will also be performing at Tiger Tiger.
