It's no secret that for many years KDRT's own Bill Wagman invited musicians from both sides of the Atlantic to give intimate concerts in his living room. They were special evenings.

You'll hearJamie Laval, Jez Lowe, Dana and Susan Robinson, Jim and Susie Malcolm, Ernest Troost, Anya Hinkle, and others. Find a comfortable chair, sit back, and join us at KDRT 95.7 fm | KDRT.org.
Tune in to KDRT 95.7 FM or KDRT.org this Sunday, Oct.13, from 4 to 6:30 p.m. for a live broadcast accompanying this year's Davis Neighbors' Night Out. Your radio hosts will be program hosts Bill Buchanan (usual show Davisville) and Jim Buchanan (an original KDRT DJ who produces Live Tracks).
If you're going to one of the 116 neighborhood parties, call in to the studio while you're there for a chance to win a $50 Davis Food Co-op gift card each half-hour. Listen to the show for details.

They play tonight at Odd Fellows Hall courtesy of our friends at Davis Live Music Collective -- doors open at 6:30, music starts at 7:00p.
