Today's Song of the Day, as chosen by DJ Miss Ashley in honor of Indigenous Peoples’ Day, is "Second Nature" by Drew Martin from the 2023 album Where's Your Feet on Kritter Records.
This week’s Song of the Day picks, as chosen by DJ Miss Ashley, coincide with Indigenous Peoples’ Day. While Indigenous Peoples' Day is recognized on October 9, KEXP will be paying tribute to Indigenous artists throughout the whole week here and throughout the rest of our podcasts and programming.

Kānaka Maoli singer/songwriter Drew Martin recently returned to Seattle from Maui, releasing his latest LP Where’s Your Feet?. As he writes on Instagram, "There’s some joy on this record, there’s some grit on this record, there’s some chicken skin on this record." Drew utilizes a Hawaiian slack-key guitar in his folky blues-style songs, as you can hear on today's Song of the Day.
Drew will be celebrating his record release on Sunday, October 22nd at the Sunset Tavern with Alberta & the Dead Eyes and Maya Marie.
