In advance of June 4th's premiere screening of Alvin Remmer's documentary "The Closing Of The Palms Playhouse" at the Veteran's Theater in Davis, The Folk Brothers will devote our May 31 show to reminiscing about the musical magic that happened regularly in that South Davis barn.   As well as the musical artists - like U Utah Phillips and Kate Wolf - whose names were associated with the old Palms, we will recall some of the extraordinary shows that graced the barn.

I am looking forward to hosting the Americana, acoustic string trio The Stray Birds on Live DiRT at the KDRT studio, Thursday, May 25th beginning at 2:00 p.m.  The Stray Birds – originally from Lancaster, Pennsylvania – are on the West Coast leg of the “Open Window Tour” for their most recent album “Magic Fire”, recorded in Woodstock, New York, with producer and multi-instrumentalist Larry Campbell (Bob Dylan, Levon Helm, Paul Simon, Willie Nelson).   The Stray Birds will also be appearing at The Palms Playhouse in Winters at 8 PM that evening (May 25th).

Mostly West Coast cool jazz tonight!

Brooklyn-based rockers Baked will be dropping by the KDRT studios at 3:30pm PST today for an interview!  Baked and local pop/punk band Polyorchids are playing tonight at the G Street Wunderbar, courtesy of the Davis Live Music Collective.   Doors open at 7pm for this early show.

Ministresse JessGoddesse is flying solo this evening for another installment of Divine Intervention. Expect much new music -- we've added a g'zillion new artists/tracks across genres over the past six weeks or so -- plus the questionable magic of Vinyl Vespers. Tune in 7-9p PT, only on KDRT.

Lets see what David wants to share with us through his lyrics, music and conversation. David Jacobin writes music to reflect the times, searching for beauty, joy, sadness and truth. He hopes that the songs he writes will help inspire people to create a better world for all it's inhabitants. Visit David and listen at https://davidjacobin.bandcamp.com or on facebook.
