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!
It is almost the solstice, the darkest time of the year. Fear not though, the sun will be returning shortly!
So join us at In the Key of Folk this afternoon from 2 to 3 PM, to hear tidings of the holiday season, followed by music that will keep you energized for the afternoon and beyond.
Selections include pieces on the solstice and holiday season by Ashley Hutchings, Silly Sisters, the Melrose Quartet, and additional tunes by noted fiddler Rodney Miller and the Stringrays, the Syncopaths, Nova, and Nightingale.
