Fri, 02/28/2014 - 5:56am | Rodriguez

Get ready to hit the streets and rev it up good on The Grapevine in celebration of Mardi Gras and Fat Tuesday.  As carnival season winds down and Ash Wednesday & Lent loom ahead, jump in the parade with a swing in your hips & a song on your lips and get it while the getting gets good...right here on K-DIRT!

In this special Mardi Gras edition of The Grapevine you'll hear classic Crescent City & Louisiana country sounds by the likes of Huey "Piano" Smith, Roy Montrell, The Meters, Beausoleil and of course, the magnifcent Dr. John.

Here's a cool vid of the good doctor himself talking about the New Orleans sound and the mighty influence of Professor Long Hair:

Listening Lyrics Feb 28, 2014, with guest MOTHER FALCON

Mon, 02/24/2014 - 10:28am | Pieter Pastoor

This Friday - LIVE - in the KDRT studio, MOTHER FALCON. The Austin Critics Table nominated the group as "Best New Ensemble" in 2011. Now in Davis, CA you have two opportunities for hearing this ensemble, at the Veterans Memorial and on KDRT 95.7FM. Both on friday 2/28/14. 

Mother Falcon began as a jam session among a group of high school cellists eager to break out of the classical repertoire that predominated their musical training. Since then, the band has evolved as an organic collective of classically trained young musicians determined to push their artistry into new musical territory.

AoTW - Album of The Week - 3/6/2014 6:00PM with WARPAINT

WARPAINT is this WEEKS selection and SARA is the host. Sara in Warpaint watchout

" Warpaint weave intricate guitar lines, hypnotic vocals and driving post punk rhythms into gorgeous, sprawling songs that skirt the line between psychedelia and intimacy. Both live and on record, Warpaint sound like they’re channeling something truly otherworldly, and mystical."

Here is a preview clip of the band
