***My KUTX is made possible with support from imogene + willie***
As a collective, our April 2025 Artist of the Month Next of Kin may be relative newcomers. But each member has their own individual Austin standing leading up this current generation of their musical lineage. So ahead of their upcoming debut EP Homemaker and an appearance in Studio 1A, Madison, Caelin, and Lili stopped by the KUTX Studios to share some select memories that’ve helped to shape Next of Kin’s unique Queer alt-country style.
