Classical Excursions

Classical radio programs often focus on well-known light classics and ignore challenging and imaginative masterworks, especially from the rich repertoire of 20th century music, which is very diverse. This results in listeners who are unaware of many wonderful works. Excursions will present short and longer works by famous as well as less known composers, with insightful commentary by a composer with years of experience in radio, classical marketing, and music education.

Live Friday 11am-1pm

DJ(s):

Greg LaTraille

The Cerealist

The Cerealist curates chilling broadcasts of loud + bizarre soundscapes from an ancient cave bellowing death metal from around the globe, with smoky stage lights on music from American, Swedish, and Norwegian shredders. Tune in every week for 30 brutal minutes of blast-beat heaven!

Davisville, Jan. 28, 2019: Pain and comedy with Karma Waltonen

Mon, 01/28/2019 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

Screen Shot 2019-01-26 at 12.22.19 PM.png

Comedy and chronic pain might not seem to have much in common, but on today’s program, they do. UC Davis Continuing Lecturer Karma Waltonen teaches seminars on writing & performing stand-up comedy, among other subjects, and on Jan. 31 she’ll present her one-woman show “Chronic Pain: A Comedy,” at the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center in Sacramento. Waltonen has wonderfully eclectic interests – her expertise ranges from The Simpsons to Margaret Atwood – and her sense of humor and comic timing, backed by her clear respect for the serious aspects of her subject, make this an engaging interview.

Joe and Hattie Craven Visit the KDRT Studio and Debut Their New CD - Garcia Songbook

Sat, 01/19/2019 - 2:05pm | Rodriguez

Joe-Sometimers.jpg

There is no genre to accurately describe the music of Joe Craven and The Sometimers. Acid-Grass? Jazz Fusion Americana? Trying to define it would crush the exuberant and creative spirit that emerges when Craven, Jonathan Stoyanoff, Bruce MacMillan, Barry Eldridge and Hattie Craven play together. “No genre left behind” is their musical motto, and they accomplish the task with joyful abandon. In describing their latest album, radio host and musician David Gans has called the Garcia Songbook a "brilliant collection of fresh takes on songs Joe picked up from Jerry’s wildly diverse songbook. These aren’t just glib genre-blending exercises: each track offers an enlightening and engaging new approach".

Neil Heaton discussed his new project called "Limits and Rituals". He can sing, he can play, he can compose. Neil Heaton is a pianist from Sacramento, California. As influenced by jazz virtuosos as he is alternative auteurs, his music attempts to find the common ground between rock, jazz, pop, and hip-hop. That description is exactly why his compositions are a delight. Listen in as we talk with and listen to Neil. Vist and listen to Neil https://neilheaton.bandcamp.com.

Davisville, Jan. 14, 2019: Winter is here, and the shelter is open

Mon, 01/14/2019 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

Shelter image.png

Like other cities, Davis is home to people who have no home. And so each year the Interfaith Rotating Winter Shelter, a project of Davis congregations (mostly churches), offers overnight shelter and food to the homeless for a week at each of 10 locations. It runs from December to mid-March. Linda Scott, co-chair of the shelter and a longtime volunteer, talks about how it works, what it offers, recent changes, the main cause of homelessness among the people they serve, and the contributions of their 1,500 volunteers. The shelter helped about 140 people last year.

Jessica Malone is an award winning singer/ songwriter who was raised in the tall mountains of far northern California.

On Jessica's latest release, "The Waiting Hours" EP, drums, upright bass, violin, acoustic & electric guitar accompany her powerful and soothing vocals. Her raw and unfiltered approach to folk/ Americana songwriting creates music that will take you back in time, while her heartfelt lyrics will keep you rooted in the present.
