John Richards

John Richards is the host and producer of The Morning Show with John on 90.3 FM KEXP Seattle, and online at kexp.org. He is also KEXP's assistant program director.

Richards is the owner of his own record label (Loveless Records), does A&R work with the TAO Music Group, and undertakes an assortment of music consulting projects. He lives in Seattle, where he has a toddler who loves the Pixies.

  • In 2012, the Toronto punk trio has made some of the loudest noise in music. Watch the band visit KEXP in Seattle to perform "Headache," one of the best songs on Metz's self-titled debut album.
  • KEXP host John Richards has fallen hard for this duo's country-tinged rock. Here, the pair stops by the station's studios for a conversation and four-song performance that's honest, heartfelt and fun.
  • Band of Horses, founded by former Carissa's Wierd [sic] members Benjamin Bridwell and Mat Brooke, makes its debut with an amazing amalgam of psychedelic pop and epic, intense rock that recalls the expansiveness of The Flaming Lips.
