10 Years Forgotten

10 Years Forgotten with your host JonEmery focuses on modern classics and indie standards from 2000–2010, the decade lost in the shuffle due to the Dawn of the Digital Age. TYF also explores the history of record stores in the Sacramento Valley – including why some are still open today – along with the future of physical and digital music locally, regionally, and beyond.

Roots, Shoots and Leaves

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.

Live Tuesday 6-8pm

Davisville, March 19, 2018: Stories from all over wonderful, weird California

Mon, 03/19/2018 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

Sam McManis and his book.png

For five years, and while living in Davis, Sam McManis wrote a column about traveling through California for the Sacramento Bee. He went beyond the usual subjects to write about places like Nitt Witt Ridge ( a counterpoint to Hearst Castle), Rancho Obi-Wan, and the Museum of History in Granite, and has collected and updated the best stories in his new book, “Crossing California: A Cultural Topography of a Land of Wonder & Weirdness.” He’s back in the area from his current home in Yakima, Wash., for a book tour, and talks about his stories—and what he’d recommend to travelers who visit Davis—today on Davisville.
