Live at the 2025 Northwest Folklife Festival: Chuck D from the Blowout Heavies

During the 2025 Northwest Folklife festival, we invited several performers and community leaders to be part of our ongoing community history project.

In this interview, Chuck DeMonnin sat down with archivist Emily Silks to reflect on Chuck's band, community work, New Orleans Brass Band music, Northwest Folklife, and much more.
