High Country Music Radio

HIGH COUNTRY MUSIC RADIO

with host Rusty Nail

We’ll explore the diverse musical styles and artists found within “country” and bluegrass. High Country will feature those musicians that sought, or currently seek, an alternative to the conventional “Music Row” sound of top 100 radio. Together, we'll tap our feet to music born from the mountains, plains, rivers and deserts.

Consider this an invitation to leave the big city behind.

Davisville, Sept. 9, 2019: Bike City’s plans feature original plays, sketch comedy, improv, more

Mon, 09/09/2019 - 6:10pm | Bill Buchanan

Yancher, Marsh-Krauter, of Bike City.jpg

One of the offbeat ways to measure a town is to look at the variety, ambition and success of its live theater. Davis has been home to different theater startups this decade. Some endure and some have shut, but the creative impulse to bring more theater to Davis – and the belief that Davis will support the interest – continues. Today we talk with two people from the not-quite-2-year-old Bike City Theatre Company: J.R. Yancher, the producing artistic director, and Sarah Marsh-Krauter, the literary manager and dramaturg. They talk about the company’s Davis roots, what they want to achieve, the performances they’d like to bring to town, and their plans to engage UC Davis students – and to expand local audiences by attracting people who think live theater has nothing to offer them.

Davisville, Aug. 26, 2019: LGBT issues dis-unite the Methodists

Mon, 08/26/2019 - 6:10pm | Bill Buchanan

DUMC banner 082419.jpg

Schism is an old word, meaning two sides with strong opinions breaking apart. The term might now apply to the United Methodist Church, a denomination of 13 million members worldwide that faces dis-unifying over gay rights. Brandon Austin, pastor of the Davis Methodist congregation, talks about the dispute, why it matters to people who might never give a thought to church, how to wrestle with the question of which traditions to keep and which to discard, and the choice of the Davis church to align with the pro-LGBT “reconciling” movement more than 20 years ago.
