Coming up tonight:
The 13th annual Davis Music Fest kicks off June 20—and trust us, it's not just lucky number 13 for the organizers! This week on Listening Lyrics, we'll serve up a musical sampler platter featuring songs from the many artists rolling into town for the weekend. Think of it as a sneak preview with less walking and no cover charge.
With dozens of artists, venues, and genres on the menu, your ears are in for a feast.
Joining us is Kyle Monhollen—the man in the middle of this musical mayhem—who’ll dish on what it takes to pull off an event of this scale (spoiler: coffee and spreadsheets).
Tune in Friday at 4 p.m. and get a feel for the festival vibe. You might even walk away with a game plan for which venues to hit—and maybe a few new favorite bands to name-drop.
Hey you all -- Check out the Electric Compost Heap tonight -- host Dug Deep will feature some new things from Horsegirl, The Residents, and LA LOM. We'll also remember Rick Derringer, who passed earlier this week at age 77 -- No RocknRoll Hoochie Coo, though, so don't worry. Hope you can join us.
Meet Harald Tollerup — Davis High School senior, jazz saxophonist, journalist, and a young man who treats the future like it's his personal playground (and he's already winning).
Harald dropped by the studio this week with a playlist he hand-picked himself. Now, I believe a playlist says a lot about a person — and Harald’s? It spoke volumes. It was creative, honest, and refreshingly original … just like the guy who made it.
Not only does Harald share the soundtrack of his world, he also brings out the sax and plays live — because why just talk about jazz when you can be jazz?
It’s one great hour of community radio — don’t miss it!
This evening on The Goodtime Hour, Russ Tolman once again welcomes Peter Holsapple (the dB's) to chat and play cuts off his new solo album, The Face of 68. Listen up at 9 p.m. Pacific on KDRT 95.7 fm + KDRT.org + your podcast platform of choice!
On today’s show: a local open space planting, gophers, Arbutus vs. grapefruit, tomato questions and secrets, and more.
Don't miss the debut of 10 Years Forgotten, showcasing modern classics and indie standards from 2000–2010, the decade lost to the decline of the record-store industry. TYF also explores the history of record stores in the Sacramento Valley, along with the future of physical and digital music regionally and beyond. Join your host JonEmery Dodds today – May 28 – and every Wednesday at 3 p.m. here on KDRT 95.7 FM | KDRT.org!
Turn it up for IMPLOSION at its new time – Wednesdays at 8 p.m. Pacific. This evening, Nick Saloman presents at bevy of beautiful tunes from the likes of the Glass Family, the John Shakespeare Orchestra, the Byrds, Heavy Jelly, and Hot Chocolate – right here on KDRT 95.7 fm + KDRT.org and ever after on the podcast apps.
Sometimes things just need to be repeated and amplified. With that in mind, today on In the Key of Folk, I'll be playing more tracks from the recently released album by I'm With Her, along with other new releases. Included are tracks from albums by C. Daniel Boling (featuring Tom Paxton), Dee Robinson, Lee Hunter and the Gatherers, and a new single by Lisa Bastoni. I also plan tracks by Kora Feder and Justin Farren, who will be playing in Sacramento this week, and Evie Ladin. So join in at 2 p.m. today at KDRT 95.7 FM | KDRT.org
YOU are cordially invited to our monthly Suds & Sounds mixer at Armadillo Music in downtown Davis TODAY — Wednesday, May 28, from 4 to 6 p.m. Meet K-DiRT friends and fans, grab a sticker and a shirt, pick some vinyl to spin! As always, a range of bevs are available at the Bootleg Bar. This gathering repeats every month on the last Wednesday — mark your calendars!
