This interview originally aired on "In the Moment" on SDPB Radio.

Grace Hansen is the only remaining charter member of The Rude Band. The local band's performances and covers transcend genres and decades.

Since the band has been around for a while—for 32 years and counting—it's been through a lot of changes. The band's name has changed several times and its members have rotated in and out. As its sole charter member remaining, Hansen has seen all of these changes and has changed quite a bit herself.

Hansen joins In the Moment to talk about the band, its music and her transgender advocacy.

Lori Walsh is the host and senior producer of In the Moment.
