KXRW Vancouver Presents

City Hums

A musical mosaic of Portland, Vancouver, and beyond.

4th Tuesdays from 4:00pm to 5:00pm

Host Bio

Lindsey & Jordan Plotner

The married artists Lindsey and Jordan Plotner are best known for the music they create as local glam-folk duo Ned and Wendy the Band. The two artists met – and subsequently fell in love – through a remote music collaboration in 2020. Though they lived on opposite sides of the country and had never met in person, they decided to form a band, record an album, and, after nine months of remote collaboration, they moved in together and were married a year later! Having experienced the power of music in this extraordinary way, Jordan and Lindsey have taken it upon themselves to share the magic of music with others through live performances, original songs, and now radio. 

Behind the Show

We had submitted our song “Marvelous Child” to KXRW in the hopes of getting some airplay. Unfortunately, KXRW didn’t have any local music shows to play it on…so they asked if we wanted to host one! We were so shocked, but it felt like an aha moment – of course! A radio show!

About the Show

Jordan and Lindsey Plotner of Portland folk duo Ned and Wendy the Band take listeners on a musical adventure throughout Portland, Vancouver, and further. Interviews with members of the local music scene, interwoven with original music from local artists, create an audio mosaic of our regional music and arts community. The show aims to explore the deep connections between people, place, and art, and to provide a platform for the musicians and music lovers of this region.
