Acoustic duo The Smoke Shovelers have spent a few years now sneaking around the periphery of the Davis/Sacto circuit entertaining friends and family at barbecues, honey-extracting parties, coffee-roasting sessions, campfire jams, film-festivals, back-patio birthdays, front-porch hoe-downs, New Year’s celebrations, and every once in a while planting themselves in front of microphones for a paying audience in more traditional musical venues. Davis music veterans Roger Kunkel (Thin White Rope, Acme Rocket Quartet) on mandolin, guitar, banjo, and fiddle, and Rusi Gustafson (Curbfeelers, Acme Rocket Quartet) on guitar, banjitar, and harmonica, lend their two-part harmonies to both original tunes and an up-ended grab-bag of folk, bluegrass, and country-rock covers ranging from The Statler Brothers and John Prine to The Replacements and The Velvet Underground.

This Friday 2/28/14, live in the studio with Danny and Sara. Tom Brosseau is a guitarist with a story to tell. That story to tell is Tom at his best - he is one great storyteller. Catch this live or after the show via streaming.

You can also catch TOM at the Verterans Memorial at 8:30PM on Friday 2/28/14

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.

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

What a surprise - my guest this week had to cancel. So lets create an opportunity. This is going to be vinyl week. The past few months I have found some sweet vinyl LP records that are just itching to be spun. We are starting of with the SACRED MUSHROOM, a Cincinnati group in the  60's. Blues mixed with the Grateful Dead was their awesome sound. 

But listen up - this is going to be one eclectic hour. So TUNE in.

What ever genre of music you like - the odds are - we have a program just for you - so much music you will not hear on commercial radio. Check out the shows here. http://www.kdrt.org/station/programs
