Have an event coming up you’re looking to spread the word about?
Send an email to info@xray.fm to see how we can help!
When emailing please include:
- Any relevant info about the event (dates/times, location, ticket links, info sheets etc.)
- What you're looking for from us, preferably in the subject or early in the email.* This could be things like being a media sponsor, paid underwriting packages, inviting us to attend, PSAs* AV services, getting an on-air interview, booking an XRAY DJ, having us be present there, etc.
Timeline: For those new to working with us, without an established event promotion relationship or agreement, we need to receive your submission at least three weeks prior to your event for potential inclusion on our events calendar, and preferably six weeks if you are interested in a radio spot about your event (i.e. underwriting). We are unlikely to consider last minute requests.
Please Note: We have a very limited capacity and unfortunately cannot accommodate all requests. The clearer your ask and the more obvious of a fit with our programming and/or mission, the more likely we'll prioritize it. We unfortunately cannot respond to every request, but welcome you nudging/following up with us to get it on our radar if it's a good fit and we haven't replied.
*Only nonprofits and/or things benefitting the wider community (such as something like demonstrations, disaster relief, mutual aid campaigns, etc.) are eligible for PSAs typically, with anything else being up to our discretion and typically done on media trade, paid campaigns, or as an act of good will because we feel strongly about something. All scripts need to be approved by us for our FCC compliance standards--even if a recorded file already exists.

7 Deadly Sins: CHURCH is a seven-part interactive live storytelling series that explores each of the Seven Deadly Sins, what they mean in this particular moment in history, and how we might choose to think of them in these turbulent times.
Despite being an entirely secular show created by a group of outlandishly sinful heathens, 7 Deadly Sins: CHURCH will have all the trappings and spirit of an old-school gospel tent revival—albeit with less religion and more access to cocktails. (Also, if anyone is somehow miraculously healed of anything, it will surprise us way more than you.)
In this first show, Part One, the stories will focus on the Sin Of Wrath, a sin which—let’s be honest—feels pretty 2025.
Wrath is the most frightening of all the sins, the one most of us associate with violence, fury, or revenge. But wrath can also be a call for justice. Wrath is John Brown. Wrath is Stonewall, and Black Lives Matter, and 438 coordinated women’s “p**sy-hat” marches in 2017. Wrath, in other words, is like all of the other deadly sins: for better and worse, it is part of what makes us human.
Plus there will be laughs! And music! And poetry! And readings! And singalongs! And still more laughs! Because more than anything, 7 Deadly Sins: CHURCH is going to be a kick-ass, howl-at-the-moon evening of fun as we all celebrate what it means to be human, and keep the darkness at bay just one night longer.
The CHURCH series is a collaborative production conceived, created, and directed by writer, journalist, and 7 Deadly Sins Executive & Artistic Director R. Tod Kelly; actor, writer, and filmmaker Travis Abels; storyteller and stand-up comedian Star Dell’Era; PICA performance artist and creator of Life Coach Andrew Dickson; comedian, host, and story coach Meg Ferrill; and longtime teacher and raconteur Pat McCreery, with the help of Wrath’s Musical Director John Shipe and Art & Media Director Mark Noland.

São Paulo natives, Johnny Franco and his Real Brother Dom, are shaking up the Portland, Oregon music scene with their charm and charisma. Serving up 5 day weekends every week, no stage is too big or too small for their iconic and hilarious brand of entertainment - including but not limited to songs.
The duo was signed by producer Sterling Fox (Lana Del Rey, Elle King) on his label Blanket Fort in 2020. Johnny's debut EP "Experience Report #1" feels timeless with singles like "Immediate Love". It combines sophisticated lyricism and original vocal stylings with a unique jangly Brazilian beat. The duo was featured on Treefort 2022, Jam in the Van 2022, and Pickathon 2024. Their humorous delivery of crowd-favorite originals like "Ones and Pennies" and "Cucumber Vodka" along with a unique interpretation of the classics produce an irresistible urge to move, to laugh, to cry and to applaud.
