ABOUT US

KDRT 95.7 FM is grassroots radio from Davis, CA, airing an eclectic mix of music and public-affairs programming. A project of nonprofit Davis Media Access, KDRT streams worldwide via KDRT.org.

Roots, Shoots and Leaves' DJ Tree has a theory of music that involves a tree. Suffice it to say that it involves a trinity — an exploration of themes and connections among recording artists — and otherwise very few boundaries. Listen for music old and new, known and unknown. And if you listen long enough, you may experience some musical enlightenment.

Davisville, May 10, 2021: Meaningful work, plus a very cool job title

Mon, 05/10/2021 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Putah Creek at Winters bridge 050121.JPG

Putah Creek in Yolo County is much better off than it was a generation ago, and Rich Marovich’s job is part of the reason why. He’s the creek’s streamkeeper, and his work has involved him in everything from restoration projects to the removal of trash and derelict cars from the channel. On today’s show we talk about his work, some of the legal clashes in its history, upcoming improvements the public can enjoy, the return of the salmon, and his favorite locations ... and I wonder how Davis might be different today if Putah hadn't been diverted away from our river-less town in the 19th century. Imagine a riverfront in central Davis.

The start of the program refers to the 1969 hit song written by John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival, inspired by his memories of playing by Putah Creek as a boy. Here's more about the song, "Green River."

In the world of folk music, the pandemic has led to many transformations. On April 21, the duo formally known as "Mandolin Orange" announced on social media that going forward, they were to be known as "Watchhouse." This morning we debuted their new track, "Better Way," which accompanies their name change. Also today: new music from John Spillane's Lapwing Nation, Eli West and Julie Fowlis, Sarah Jaroz, Rick Shea, Rod Picott, and Eve Ladin. And some great storytelling from Robin Williamson!

COVID-19 Community Report, April 27, 2021- Yolo Food Bank

Tue, 04/27/2021 - 12:40pm | Autumn Labbe-Renault

COVID-19-Yolo-Food-Bank-logo.jpg

The concept of feeding people--of ensuring this most basic need of enough to eat---has played such a big role in the COVID-19 pandemic that it was an easy pick for me to center the last episode of this show on the Yolo Food Bank. With a mission to end hunger and food insecurity in Yolo County, joining me are the food bank’s Executive Director, Michael Bisch, and Robb Davis, who recently joined the organization as its first Impact and Innovation Officer. This was an interesting discussion with two local heroes, looking back on this year, and also ahead. Link to yolofoodbank.org for more information.
