NW Noise Interviews
Here you'll find a diverse collection of interviews produced by NW Noise. You simply won't find interviews like these anywhere else. When was the last time someone interviewed Gustav from 94.7 KNRK?

Singer Libbie Schrader is a star on the rise with her pop melodies that have not only graced the Northwest, but the greater Los Angeles area, billings with artists Jewel and Poe, as well as the small screen on such shows as Gilmore Girls and The Hills to name a few. Along with newcomer Amy Jay, Libbie had sat down with NW Noise in early May 2008 at The White Eagle Saloon in Portland, but the audio podcast was lost due to an unfortunate technical anomaly. Like Amy, she was kind enough to answer some questions talked about on that “lost podcast” as well as a few new ones for your viewing and musician-learning pleasure. Enjoy some Libbie Schrader goodness below!
