IMPLOSION is simply an hour of Nick playing the music he loves – psychedelia, rock, folk, beat, jazz, soul, punk, and more – with a bit of chat thrown in for good measure.

Three Young Musicians, One Big Impression "Home By 5 3 0" - September 4, 2026

Sat, 09/05/2026 - 10:47am | Pieter Pastoor

IMG_6079.jpeg

The band Home by 5 3 0 is made up of students from Davis High School—young, bright, and overflowing with creativity. That energy and talent spill across the stage whenever they perform.

Today, three members of the band joined me in the studio: Evie Barnett on vocals, Tjin Reusken on guitar, and Andrew Gonzalez on bass. They came to share a few stories and, more importantly, to sing and play.

Simply put, they floored me.

The three cover songs they performed showed a level of musical maturity, confidence, and sensitivity you would expect from musicians with many more years of experience. Their performances were thoughtful, polished, and full of feeling.

The Yolo County Breakdown for Aug. 28, 2026

Fri, 08/28/2026 - 10:00am | Rocky Outcrop

Dolly Parton was a legend. Her passing this week means the world lost one of its brightest lights. She was smart, funny, sassy, and one of the greatest entertainers the world has ever known. This week's installment of the Yolo County Breakdown celebrates her enormous contributions by presenting her music and letting her singing, songwriting, and pure heart shine a light for all of us to see. We will always love you, Dolly!
