We are all in for a treat this coming Friday. I had the pleasure of seeing them perform this past week. Harmony and exceptional song writting skills sets the TREE-O apart.
Listening Lyrics started in late August 2012 but we are not counting the few first shows (call it the learning curve). A year into the show and with 25 guests interviewed you might say Jeanne and I have found a format we are comfortable with. To put it into perspective we are having a blast. On top of that our guests are given a full hour to share their story and their talent. For me personally its like spending one hour a week on the psychiatrists couch, I leave the studio pumped up and ready for the week-end. Yep, usually head to a watering hole to down a beer or two after the show.
In addition the show has given me a rare glimpse into the talent, dedication and fascinating lives of the guests on the show. So this week we will be playing some tunes and poems of previous guests while Jeanne and I sip some bubbly wine. Tune in and share the year with us.

If you ask anyone in Davis who influences the music scene locally, a good bet would be that the name KEVIN WAN will pop up. Yes, KEVIN will spend an hour with us talking about himself, the music business and how the city of Davis responds to live events. Kevin of course is the driving force behind Sophia's Thai Kitchen so a little food talk might also pop up.
Listening Lyrics is excited about this show especially since the play list will be KEVIN'S selections. Want to know what KEVIN listens to - well then - tune in this Friday
Lots of jazz piano, commemorating the late, great Marian McPartland: Allen Toussaint, Count Basie with Ella; Duke Ellington, Oscar Peterson, and Ms. McPartland herself. In between, Billie Holiday with Satchmo, Chet Baker, and Gerry Mulligan, and more.
Great jazz performers doing some of their greatest performances. We’ve got Round Midnight by Monk, Favorite Things by Coltrane. Ella with Cry Me A River, Byrd & Getz with One Note Samba; Ellington & Hodges, Hines & Hodges, Brubeck. Sinatra, and more. Classic jazz tonight.
If you have been around town to some of the open mics for singer/songwriters you have probably seen Dan Dressen. Dan likes to paint a picture with lyrics and his guitar. Dan is a Davis resident and we are thrilled to have him spend an hour with us to chat about his music. he will also be performing some covers of his favorite songs.
