ABOUT US

KDRT 95.7 FM is grassroots radio from Davis, CA, airing an eclectic mix of music and public-affairs programming. A project of nonprofit Davis Media Access, KDRT streams worldwide via KDRT.org.

The word "gospel" is derived for the old Anglo-Saxon word meaning “good message” or “good news." Host Preacher believes gospel music is powerful, whether the listener is or is not Christian — that everyone can enjoy listening to gospel because it is uplifting and inspiring, sung with passion and belief from the artist, touching all who hear it in a good and heartfelt way. The aim of Praise Time is to help listeners find what Preacher believes lives in everyone: a good spirit that drives us to be the best we can be.

She just earned a degree in genetics and genomics, she’d like to help make aging more manageable for people, she values her art classes in the campus Craft Center, and she prizes research. “Research has always been what I define to be American,” she says, and on today’s Davisville she explains what she means, what brought her to Davis, and where she’s headed next.

The Davis Music Fest turns "Lucky 13" this year, and KDRT is thrilled to continue our tradition of live broadcasts, this time on Friday June 20 and Saturday June 21.

Davis Music Fest offers three days of live performances presented by the all-volunteer Davis Live Music Collective. With seven downtown venues and 40 bands, this all-ages, multi-genre event from June 20 to June 22 has something for everyone.

KDRT is broadcasting live from the fest on days one and two:

Friday's opening night at Sudwerk Brewing Co. includes two stages and six bands. KDRT (95.7 FM/kdrt.org) will broadcast from 4 to 8:45 p.m. from the Hopyard Stage featuring the Smoking Data Guns, Ian George, and The Gold Souls. We've also scheduled interviews with Broken Compass Bluegrass, The Big Poppies, The Gold Souls and Boot Juice.
On Saturday KDRT will be live from 3 to 8:15 p.m. at Armadillo Music featuring Ian George, Nat Lefkoff, and David Luning, and we'll have a booth on F Street for interviews with Katie Knipp, EleNah, The Snares, Son Cafe, and Tinvis.

Tickets are available here. The festival is a fundraiser for arts and music education in Davis public schools. It's funded partly by a Sacramento Foundation Arts and Culture Grant and by the City of Davis.
