Friday join Emmet at 12:00PM. THE BUG OF THE YEAR VOTES KEEP ROLLING IN . . . so we've changed the last day of voting. Hundreds of people from around the world have visited http://www.insectnewsnetwork.com/bug-of-the-year/ to cast their vote. The voting closes on Thursday, Jan. 16th. The live BOTY broadcast is now Friday, Jan. 17th at 12 pm PST on KDRT 95.7 FM and the INN website. The great news: every one of the Top 25 arthropod nominees has received at least one vote. You won't believe which critter has the most votes so far. Any guesses?

A lifelong musician (drums and percussion) who has the experience of traveling the world in a rock group or adding his delicate touch to an intimate jazz trio that is BART van der ZEEUW. Bart will be in the studio to discuss his love of music while listening to some of his favorite selections. Expect a VERY eclectic hour of song and discussion.

Tonight live from the KDRT studio - an interview with STELTH ULVANG   Stelth is the keyboard guy in The Lumineers, but wait, he also does vocals, plays the guitar, saxaphone, flute and much more. So lets find out what makes this multi talented individual tick. Stelth is doing a week of small west coast shows to bring (in an intimate setting) selection of songs that he is writing for a new CD. Tonight, in Davis, he will be appearing at theTHIRD SPACE venue for an 8:00PM show.

Tonights show will air on a special GOLDEN ROADS edition with guest host Pieter Pastoor. The show starts at 6:00PM on KDRT 95.7FM or streamed at KDRT.org.

An hour of Earl Hines, Yusef Lateef, and more!

Join Wayne Hagen with his spirited spirited show. Live Friday 8:30-9pm  Replays Monday 9:30-10pm, Friday 2:30-3pm, Sunday 10:30-11am 

Wayne has been playing jug since 1979 and currently is active in two bands - the legendary Babar Jug Band from San Francisco and the upstart Aesthetic Cling. But he'll pull out his jug and play with anyone. He also tries to play the mandolin and is a big fan of Vol Stevens and Yank Rachell. His passion for jug band music has turned him into a walking encyclopedia of the genre. Go ahead ask him a question, dare ya. Getting a chance to share his love for jug band music on KDRT is a great joy.

This is one show that I am extremely happy to host - one great songwriter, musician, vocalist and a great guy shares his new CD "WATER" with us.  The songs Richie Lawrence has written for Water are deceptively simple, composed of rippling melodies full of shadow and light, lyrics brimming with poetry and plainspoken truth and an invitation to join in a dance of love, laughter and compassion. Their complexity delights with the first listen, slowly unfolding to reveal an unexpected intensity of color and flavor as they linger on the emotional palette.
