Women Rock! We all know that, but how many of us are aware of Women Rock! Day? On January 3, 1987, the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin became the first woman inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Since then, Women Rock! Day celebrates that event and the achievements and contributions of countless women artists and female-fronted bands to popular music. Although the Audio Ecotone missed the actual day due to the holidays, we will kick off 2025 (and the new KDRT studios) with a belated celebration of some of our favorite female artists and bands: Sleater-Kinney, Ex Hex, the Bangles, Dog Party, L.A. Witch and more! Listen live Friday at 3:00 pm Pacific on KDRT 95.7 FM or online at KDRT.org. The show replays Saturday 6:00-7:00 pm and Tuesday 7:00-8:00 am.

Here we are, in 2025, looking forward to a blank slate in the year ahead, so join us in welcoming the year with In the Key of Folk! One way to celebrate the close of the old year was with a New Year's Eve contra dance in Sacramento, so today I'll keep the mood on with some of my favorite contra dance bands, along with some tunes by David Mallett, who the folk world lost last week, something from the subject of the movie, A Complete Unknown, and a favorite soothing song of retrospection from Mary Chapin Carpenter. Hear from the Syncopaths, Genticorum and others, along with fantastic live tracks from Wild Asparagus at The Guiding Star Grange. Put your dancing shoes on: only on KDRT 95.7 fm | KDRT.org!
