It is not every week we have an international renowned singer/songwriter - BUT _ this week we do.

Mick Flannery was brought up on a farm outside Blarney, Co. Cork, Ireland. His first real connection to music was watching an unplugged Nirvana coveringBowie’s “The Man Who Sold the World”. After a stint in a music college in Cork, he travelled to the U.S. where he “wandered around for a time.” While there, he entered the U.S. Songwriting Competition in Nashville, Tennessee and, to his surprise, won two top awards for his compositions.

Mick has a couple of top 10 singles in Europe and is in California for ONLY two shows (SF and Davis) before heading back to Ireland.

Catch him live Friday Nov. 15 in Davis at THIRD SPACE

Dial it in to 95.7 or KDRT.org on November 9th at 2:00 pm for a unique broadcast on The Golden Road.  Cathy Rohm, host of The Red Dirt Roadhouse show on KFOK in Georgetown, will be joining me for 2 hours  of "low-power radio cross-pollination" for your listening entertainment...and hopefully, enjoyment!

We'll regale listeners with tales of how we met, how we hatched an idea to "head for the hills" and go "down to the valley", our experiences in seeing & hearing so many great musicians in live settings...but most of all, our love for the wonderful opportunities that only low-power radio can provide.  And any fans of the infamous & dearly missed KFAT (out of Gilroy) will be in for a real treat...we'll even be spinning some sounds outta the KFAT archives.  Who knows, maybe we'll end up calling it "The Golden Red K-Dirt Fat Roadhouse"!

Featured performer tonight is Clark Terry on trumpet and flugelhorn, paired with Paul Gonsalves, Thelonious Monk, and Chico O’Farrill. Mixed in: some piano by Erroll Garner and Ahmad Jamal, guitar by Gabor Szabo, and then a vocal set featuring Shirley Horn, Dianne Reeves, and Cassandra Wilson. And, of course, something by Ella. 

Listening Lyrics has been after this guy for months and finally we get to spend an hour with him.

Justin (from Winters, CA) started playing guitar as a teenager, and went on to front a couple of punk bands (Mr. Nobody and Stenna & the Poison Apples) during high school and college.

A writer by trade, he has a deep appreciation for sentence structure and storytelling. His approach to songwriting has been shaped by artists like Jackson Browne and Paul Simon, but his most formative musical years were spent listening to bands like Goldfinger, Against Me! and Fugazi. You can hear this blend in his songs.

Usually some boogie woogie, blues, bossa nova; always something by Ella.
