The mischievous musician Didar Singh Khalsa, on Listening Lyrics, July 24, 2026

Fri, 07/24/2026 - 5:00pm | Pieter Pastoor

Didar.jpeg

This week on Listening Lyrics we have Didar Singh Khalsa. He is a Woodland-area guitarist, singer and highly prolific songwriter whose music blends Americana, alternative folk rock and country-rock.

Didar has played guitar for more than five decades. He began writing and recording his own songs much later, partly inspired by attending several songwriting camps taught by British guitarist and songwriter Richard Thompson.

His songs tend to be lyric-driven, imaginative and sometimes wry or philosophical.

His latest album Bourgeois Virtue contains 14 songs, including “Lord, Wind Me Down Slowly,” “We’re Underwater Here,” “Finish the Tapestry” and “Under the Linden Tree.”

Didar is a distinctive local musician who writes because he has something personal, thoughtful and occasionally mischievous to say, rather than because he is chasing commercial trends.

Barry Figrim is into music, gaming, laser-cut products, on Hello Davis!, July 22, 2026

Wed, 07/22/2026 - 5:30pm | Pieter Pastoor

Barry Figrim.jpeg

This week on Hello Davis!, David Abramson interviews Barry Figrim, who is a great example of what makes Davis special: talented people who use their skills, energy, and creativity to strengthen the community.

Barry is the founder of Bright Bear Workshop, a musical instrument consignment and event service operating alongside Watermelon Music. He also directs the Stage Ready program, helping musicians prepare to perform with confidence.

His connection with Watermelon began in 2024, when he volunteered to help move a large cabinet. One project led to another, and Barry kept showing up, lending a hand and becoming part of the Watermelon family. After joking that he had been pretending to work there for more than a year, he made it official by starting a business and making a lasting commitment to the Davis music community.

Turning up the music for Galileo Place, on Listening Lyrics, July 17, 2026

Fri, 07/17/2026 - 4:00pm | Pieter Pastoor

images 2.jpeg

Tune in as Benjamin Brothers (pictured) and Louise Joyce, chief development officer at YoloCares, share the inspiring story behind a special afternoon of music, community, and giving back.

Benjamin, a Davis high school student, was looking for a meaningful way to get involved when he discovered Galileo Place, an adult day program operated by YoloCares. The program offers physical and cognitive activities, social connection, and a welcoming sense of purpose and community.

Inspired by what he saw, Benjamin came up with a great idea: bring together his band, Hello Awkward, along with other local musicians, for a benefit concert supporting Galileo Place. The concert takes place Sunday, July 26, 2026, from 2 to 5 p.m. at Galileo Place, 1909 Galileo Court, Suite C, in Davis.
