OUR PROGRAMS

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 Saturday 5-7pm

Sun with Dragon.jpg

Get ready for some eclectic party time music on the next Sonic Rehab! DJJJ has a couple more versions of "Lola's Theme" by the Shapeshifters after playing the orginal version last week, some anime music from Yoshimasa Terui, and even some country for the first time! And of course, plenty more, including a section of music he loved hearing on the radio but seemed to only be played very late at night. Intrigued? Then tune in this Monday from 1-3 p.m. PDT on KDRT 95.7 FM or stream live on kdrt.org.

If you can't listen live (booooooo!) or want to listen again (yaaaaaaay!), you can check it out in the kdrt.org archives for up to 2 weeks after broadcast. d(-_-)b
