ALERT - ALERT ---This was my first live radio broadcast from the TV studio and we had some audio issues - Start listening at the 6:25 mark of the audio. The music comes through very well after that the interview part is a little low on volumn - I do apologize.

Still it was a great show ( THE SPOKES were awesome) wraped up by a wonderful performance by Uncle Peter.

LISTEN NOW - Alicia Murphy is a singer-songwriter from San Pedro, CA. She sings her all-original songs with a fierce rhythm guitar, a kick-drum, and unexpected harmonies. Alicia recently released her It Is and It Isn’t EP, produced by multiple Grammy-winning Rami Jaffee (Foo Fighters, The Wallflowers) and Ran Pink atFonogenic Studios in Van Nuys, CA.

Alicia ‘s performances range from girl-and-her-guitar to full rock band. Most often she performs as a folky duet with her sister Sé Reed, who provides harmonies and light percussion.

This is one of those FUN shows - great music and great banter. Listen in, listen now for this special hour.  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.

Singer songwriter Joaquin Feliciano's performances burst with energy, humor, emotion, and wisdom. As a child, Joaquin studied piano, voice, music theory, and composition. However, the only strong feeling he remembers from that time was: “Please, do NOT let me screw this up!” It took over four decades of living for him to appreciate fully the gift his parents gave him and come to an understanding of music, and especially live performance, as conduits for healing, transformation, and personal growth. Drawing inspiration from local artists like Jackie Carroll and Mike Justis, he bought a guitar, learned some chords, started singing, and pretty much hasn't stopped since. Augmented by his engaging storytelling and his spare acoustic guitar style, Joaquin's original and cover songs include early and contemporary folk and cowboy music, love songs, and leaving songs that speak about the sorrow, joy, pain, absurdity, and learning that accompany life's major and minor transitions. As he describes it: “perfect music for a contemplative Saturday afternoon…at your psychotherapist’s office.” Along with local guitarist and piano tuner Michael Musial, Joaquin recently took over co-hosting the monthly open mic night at RootStock in Winters, CA - http://www.rootstockgifts.com/Pages/default.aspx They are both enjoying giving back to the community by providing a venue for musicians and performers of all types to meet and share their art with each other.

So listen in for the whole hour - now on KDRT
