Fri, 12/13/2024 - 5:10pm | Pieter Pastoor

When a young guitarist with a passion for musical excellence walks into the room, you can feel the energy shift. His idols are not your typical mainstream names, but rather the likes of the innovative Blake Mills, the soulful Adrianne Lenker, and the prodigious Julian Lage. As he settles in for our interview, it's clear this will be no ordinary conversation. Noah Cole (pictured), hailing from the vibrant music scene of Sacramento, is a force to be reckoned with. Noah showcases his talents as a guitarist in various bands, including the renowned Rowan McQuire and the dynamic Nat Leftkoff, and pays it forward as a guitar instructor.

His dedication to his craft is palpable. We are treated to a live performance, where he flawlessly demonstrates his fingerpicking techniques, and for the first time we are graced with his vocal abilities as a solo artist. This hour of pure musical magic will leave you wanting more. Sit back, relax, and let the words and music of Noah Cole whisk you away on a journey of sound and emotion. This is not just an interview, it's an experience. Let's dive in and discover the depth of talent and passion within this rising star.

See playlist below for the  recorded music played in this episode

Thank you for your generosity during our On-Air Fundraising Week Dec. 2-8, 2024

Mon, 12/09/2024 - 11:33pm | Diane Crumley

2024-KDRT-On-Air-week-TY.jpg

On behalf of all of us at KDRT and Davis Media Access, thank you for listening, supporting, and attending our events during last week's On-Air fundraiser.  As a "volunteer-powered" grassroots station, we depend on the support we receive from our community, and last week was a record-breaker! We're also grateful to our friends at Armadillo Music, Davis Odd Fellows Hall, Blue Note Brewing, and Davis Manor Winter Bazaar for having us, and to the musicians who brought the live music - Alex Roth, Green Grass Snakes, the 410s, and Dave Nachmanoff.  In case you missed it, there is still time to support our community radio at kdrt.org/donate
