Roots, Shoots and Leaves

Roots, Shoots and Leaves' DJ Tree has a theory of music that involves a tree. Suffice it to say that it involves a trinity — an exploration of themes and connections among recording artists — and otherwise very few boundaries. Listen for music old and new, known and unknown. And if you listen long enough, you may experience some musical enlightenment.

Live Tuesday 6-8pm

Replays Thursday 4-6pm

On their debut album in 1968, a group of kids from the suburbs of north London covered a Richard Farina song about a city in Nevada. During the pandemic, a singer-songwriter from Edinburgh teamed up with musicians from Tucson. Sometime in between, a guitarist/mandolinist from Nashville became a founding member of a band of transatlantic musicians who play the Celtic Connections festival in Glasgow every winter. Find out who they all are on today's show.

This week on Listening Lyrics we welcome Eric Jones, who shares a playlist of the music that inspires him. All but one of the songs today are his selections, and he talks with us about why each one matters to him.

Eric (left, in photo with Pieter) is also a candidate in the race for California’s 4th Congressional District, which includes Davis, Napa, Vacaville, Woodland, and much of the North Bay. The 34-year-old Napa nonprofit leader is running as a Democrat in the 2026 election, challenging longtime incumbent Mike Thompson. Jones has focused his campaign on affordability, child and elder care, and addressing corporate tax loopholes.

Davisville, Nov. 17, 2025: Davis critic Derrick Bang sizes up 2025’s year-end movies

Mon, 11/17/2025 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Derrick Bang in KDRT studio Nov 16, 2025.jpeg

Today we enjoy Davisville’s annual fall movie show in which Davis film critic Derrick Bang (pictured at KDRT on Nov. 16) tells us about movies he’s looking forward to as 2025 ends, plus ones he’ll dodge if he sees them sauntering his way. Unless they’re playing in Davis, in which case he feels obliged to review them as the hometown critic.

We also talk about why major movies are trending longer, despite the common wisdom that people’s attention spans have grown tiny; watching comedies in an audience, where others’ responses can alert you to a joke you might miss if you’re watching alone; and a court in India that awarded a movie-goer nearly $1,400 because he’d been obliged to watch too many ads before the movie. Derrick sides with the judge.

Derrick writes movie reviews for the Davis Enterprise and Derrick Bang on Film.
