Jared Hines was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest and is an amateur musician, conservation scientist, family man, and community service advocate. He has played guitar for over 30 years.

His passion and love for music shines and it drove him to start his music show on KXRW Vancouver where he focuses on stories, local connections, and the emotions and feelings that are integral to the musical artform. There is no human experience that can’t be told in a song, and Jared shares these ideas and more with b-side cuts, new stuff he’s been turned onto, or just anything that gets the hair on the back of his neck to stand up.
