Portland, OR – February 24th , 2026 — In the heart of Portland’s rich musical landscape, Portland Music Insider (PMI) www.pmiradio.site and its streaming station, www.radiopmi.site, have staked their claim as the city’s essential archive for veteran artists. Now, PMI’s work is amplified by a new collaboration with KBOO Community Radio (90.7 FM), Portland’s historic, non-commercial, and community-supported station since 1968. This partnership allows PMI to record and broadcast its exclusive live interviews with Portland-area musicians and bands of 20 years or more experience direct from KBOO’s studios, offering artists a professional setting and ensuring these stories reach both local airwaves and the world via its 24 hour 365 days a year online radio station at www.radiopmi.site.
Recording History Where History Happens
Founded by Robert Davis and cohost/compadre Michael LeClair, PMI is dedicated to interviewing only those legacy musicians and bands who have shaped Portland’s sound during decades or more of performance, recording their stories for posterity and community knowledge.
“KBOO has been at the heart of Portland’s music scene for over 50 years,” says Robert Davis. “Their commitment to community radio and authentic voices makes them the perfect home for PMI’s mission—giving our interviews the reach, resources, and sense of heritage these artists deserve.”
A Collaborative Platform for Legacy Musicians
PMI’s recorded sessions at the KBOO studios enable high-quality, in-depth interviews that air both on KBOO 90.7 FM and through PMI Radio site, further broadening the audience for these invaluable local stories.
Michael LeClair adds: “KBOO isn’t just a broadcast partner—it’s a cultural anchor. Working from their studios connects us with listeners who care about the region’s creative roots and lets us archive these important conversations in a space that pulses with authenticity.”
Recent Highlight: Legendary Interview at KBOO
In a recent session recorded live at KBOO, PMI welcomed members of the iconic blues and funk band Soul Vaccination. The group revisited Portland’s late 80s club scene, their growth over three decades, their two previously un-released songs played on-air for the first time and their insights on sustaining creative life in the Rose City—creating an essential oral history now accessible to all.
A Permanent, Public Musical Archive
Through www.pmiradio.site (for features) and www.radiopmi.site (for streaming) as well as KBOO’s trusted FM signal and archives, PMI is ensuring that Portland’s music legends are remembered and celebrated. This cutting edge innovative multi-platform approach makes the archived interviews available to music fans, historians, and future generations both live on-air and worldwide online.
