Listening Lyrics - 4pm on April 5th, 2013 featuring Phillip Larrea
Mon, 04/01/2013 - 4:04pm | Pieter PastoorListening Lyrics with Ruby and the Emeralds
Tue, 03/19/2013 - 4:24pm | Pieter PastoorThis week ( March 22 at 4:00PM) we will have the pleasure of having Tim and Ruby of Ruby and the Emeralds live in the studio.
Their sound is an integration of Ruby's Tex-Mex upbringing and musical heritage and Tim's deep folk, folk-rock and rock & roll influences.
Many of Tim's tunes were composed in Mexico and weave Spanish language elements into verses and choruses, expertly interpreted by Ruby's native tongue. Their songs have a decidedly "Americana" acoustic instrumentation while reaching out towards a "world music" orientation in their use of percussion, horns and cultural touches.

Listening Lyrics - Special guest ALEX ROTH of the WEST NILE RAMBLERS
Tue, 02/26/2013 - 5:21pm | Pieter PastoorA RARE treat this week. ALEX ROTH of the band WEST NILE RAMBLERS will be my guest for the whole hour. This very talented individual will discuss his music, his band, the artists that have influenced him and of course - coffee.
The WEST NILE NILE RAMBLERS were brought together by a desire to play music as often as possible, This band brings years of experience and a depth of understanding to a smörgåsbord of music styles. Don't be surprised if you hear Jazz, Cajun, and Bluegrass tunes at a WNR show near you. Their fairly simple arrangements are made special by their very tight musicianship. Also, they have been known to bicycle to their gigs with all their gear. Gotta give them some credit for that.
The show will air Friday, March 1, 2013 at 4:00PM.
