Silver Nine Volt Heart celebrates Jerry Garcia and the Days Between, Aug. 4, 2022

Thu, 08/04/2022 - 6:10pm | Rodriguez

2022-SNVH-Jerry-Garcia-BD.png

For a special edition of Silver Nine Volt Heart, Rodriguez digs into his archives from The Golden Road (the Grateful Dead-based show he hosted on KDRT for a decade)  to celebrate Jerry's 80th birthday and the annual tradition, the "Days Between." The Ol' Maestro was born on Aug. 1, 1942 and checked out on Aug. 9, 1995. Such a long, long time to be gone and a short time to be here ... for sure!

Enjoy the two hours of cool sounds + words by Jerry all lined up for a nice fat trip on the airwaves. There will be plenty of the good ol' GD, tunes by the Jerry  Garcia Band, acoustic stoke with Garcia & Grisman, a couple of recorded interviews with Jerry, and much more.

The Folk Brothers for Aug. 3, 2022: Remembering Mick Moloney

Wed, 08/03/2022 - 11:10am | Peter Schiffman

OIP.QW6Wc3yFQW63Bahrv0BaXAHaE8.jpeg

If there is such a thing as a "renaissance man" in 21st century culture, then Mick Moloney fit that description. Moloney, who died last week at his home in Greenwich Village, was a New York University professor, a touring and recording musician, an Irish cultural ambassador, an ethnomusicologist, and a lifelong social justice warrior.

From his work with The Johnstons, Green Fields of America, and his musical collaborations with Robbie O'Connell, Jimmy Keane, Athena Tergis, John Doyle, and many, many other Irish and American artists, Mick Moloney has left a legacy of recordings that will stand the test of time. The Folk Brothers toured Ireland with Mick, and Bill had been in Galicia with Mick just a few weeks before his untimely death.

Davisville, Aug. 1, 2022: Millennials in the market, fewer Bay Area buyers, and other Davis housing updates

Mon, 08/01/2022 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Chiles Ranch homes site July 2022.jpg

The migration of people from the Bay Area to Davis inspired by the pandemic has cooled, the average price of a house in Davis has shot past $900,000, and more than half of the city’s homebuyers now seem to be millennials. That's some of the updated Davis housing information you'll hear in today's conversation with three members of a Davis family who have made local real estate their career: Steve, Kit, and James Boschken. Steve, a real estate broker, and Kit own Boschken Properties, where she is also manager, and their son James is a real estate agent and property manager who’s about to move back to Davis from Texas.

(This July 2022 photo shows the site of the Chiles Ranch new home development planned on East Eighth Street in Davis)

Steve Beck of Needle, live in the studio on Listening Lyrics, July 29, 2022

Fri, 07/29/2022 - 5:10pm | Pieter Pastoor

S beck.JPG

Steve Beck has been involved with music most of his life, from founding a leading musician portal in the early days of the internet, and speaking at SXSW, to releasing three acclaimed albums with his band Needle, and traveling the globe to speak to musicians on behalf of the U.S. State Department.

Needle blends Beck’s low-fi minimalist arrangements with Julie Cornett’s collection of lullabies and symphonic sagas. The duo's most recent release, The Long View, came during the pandemic. They enlisted Dana Colley (Morphine, Twinemen, Vapors of Morphine) to play saxophone on a few tracks, and Kramer (Low, Galaxy 500, Daniel Johnston) mastered the project. The Noise Room is Steve’s home on the web; he wrote or conducted most of its articles and interviews.
