At a moment when Yolo County has been returned to the most restrictive tier under the state's COVID-19 protocol, we hear two perspectives about the pandemic's impact on school-aged populations here in Davis.

My first guest today is Lorraine Nail-Visher, president of the Davis School Arts Foundation, which supports culturally relevant arts education for children in Davis public schools through project grants, advocacy, and arts integration training for educators. We'll hear about the foundation's work in general, its funding, and its recent decision to concentrate its efforts on one grade and on one centralized effort during the pandemic, with the Arts Kit project in partnership with the Davis Arts Center.

Davisville, Nov. 9, 2020: Student-run KDVS plans a future without Freeborn

Sat, 11/07/2020 - 3:59pm | Bill Buchanan

Inside KDVS (photo from UC Davis Magazine).png

KDVS, the University of California Davis radio station run by students, is at a crossroads. It’s the last occupant of Freeborn Hall, and must move. It’s coping with a pandemic that has reduced access to its studio. Technology and patterns of how students listen to music has changed tremendously since the station began in the 1960s, so that’s another factor. And mixed in with all that is its legacy of decades as a voice for music and ideas that reflect the interests of UC Davis students. Today we talk with Noel Fernandez, the general manager of KDVS and a UC Davis senior, about where the station is headed.

Nick Zhilin (Николай Жилин), a Musician in St. Petersburg, Talks About Music

Thu, 11/05/2020 - 10:56am | Pieter Pastoor

nick Николай Жилин.jpg

Nick Zhilin - Look who I found.

On my photo Instagram account (pastoorpics), I have followed a fellow photographer (emptynous_photo ). I noticed that he is also a musician. That's when the roots for this interview were planted.

Nick Zhilin (Николай Жилин) was born, raised and lives in St. Petersburg, Russia. He grew up in a family with three brothers; his mother encouraged his musical studies. Nick plays the piano, guitar, and loves to perform on his Balalaika. He writes his own songs, and experiences what many young musicians do, mainly perfecting their music in their spare time.

Nick is also involved with his university in the study of world religions and philosophy.

Adrian West Has a True Musical Compass: the Interview, Oct. 30, 2020

Thu, 10/29/2020 - 4:22pm | Pieter Pastoor

a west.jpg

Ask Adrian what kind of music The Adrian West Band plays, and he'll say "Yes." Or if he's feeling cocky, he'll say "Good."

The longer answer: original acoustic rock that sounds like Paul Simon meets Dave Matthews, plus rock & jazz covers and instrumentals. The full quartet features vocal harmonies, guitar, electric violin, bass, drums, alto sax, and a bit of live "looping”. Duo and trio formats also happen.

Celtic Songlines: In Anticipation of All Hallows Eve and the Ancient Celtic Celebration of Samhain - Oct 27th, 2020

Tue, 10/27/2020 - 12:10pm | David A. Reynolds

KDRT-fb-Celtic-Songlines-All-Hallows-Eve-102720 (2).png

It is written that the history of Halloween reaches back to the ancient Celtic celebration of Samhain (pronounced "sow-win" or "sah-win"). The word "Halloween" comes from "All Hallow's Eve" or hallowed evening, a period of year mid-way between the Autumn Equinox and Winter Solistice.

This week on Celtic Songlines we celebrate this period of year with the sometimes haunting and other times introspective sounds of Celtic music.

We'll explore the music of Danish band Asynje, Clannad Irish Band, Hexperos, Sharon Krauss, Niamh Parsons & The Loose Connections, the artist known as "Lila", Loreena McKennitt and Scotland's Malinky.

Tune into “Celtic Songlines” KDRT 95.7FM or stream at @KDRT.org Tuesday 11:00- Noon PT replay Wed 6:00 to 7:00 pm. You can subscribe to Celtic Songlines on iTunes.

COVID-19 Community Report: A Visit with the Davis Area Interfaith Religious Leaders Network - Oct. 27, 2020

Tue, 10/27/2020 - 9:38am | Autumn Labbe-Renault

unity.jpg

So, a group of local clergy walks into a community media station…it sounds like the start of a joke, but rest assured it’s not. More like, a sign of the times.

For the past seven months, I’ve been talking to people about how COVID has impacted their lives — how it’s changed their business, their operations or services, and their lives. As I’ve also mentioned many times during this course of this show, it’s not just a global pandemic we’re weathering--2020 has been a highly complex year, one where layers are being peeled back on institutionalized racism, where fear and scarcity loom large, and where divisiveness seems to be the order of the day. In short, we’re a highly stressed populace.
