IMPLOSION

IMPLOSION graphic

IMPLOSION is hosted by Nick Saloman, front person of The Bevis Frond. Born and raised in London, England, Nick started buying records as a small child in the late 1950s and began going to gigs and playing in bands as a teen in the late 60s. IMPLOSION is simply an hour of Nick playing the music that he loves (psychedelia, rock, folk, beat, jazz, soul, punk, and more), with a bit of chat thrown in for good measure. Nick says: "If I like it, then there have got to be a few other people who will too.

Brotherly Mud visit KDRT

Brotherly Mud is as if the 60's and 70's folk tradition continued into the modern day, taking influence from today's songwriters while respecting yesterday's honesty.

With members graduating from the Berklee College of Music and the Musician's Institute, Brotherly Mud respects the art of musical creation through both an educational and deeply human lens.

Constantly working to be true to their artistic spirits, Brotherly Mud is currently touring with their original material all over the West Coast, with shows, radio interviews and the occasional secret performance.

For those outside the listening area - fear not, this show will be streamed live (and archived) on www.kdrt.org

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 in the KDRT studio interview - Jan 11th, 2019

Fri, 01/11/2019 - 5:05pm | Pieter Pastoor

j malone.jpeg

We interviewed Jessica Malone about her new album "Jessica Malone Live" playing some songs from the CD and also she performed  a few live for us. Jessica Malone is an award winning singer/ songwriter who was raised in the tall mountains of far northern California. Her original music evokes a sense of wanderlust, self-discovery, positivity and moving forward. 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.

Davisville, Dec. 31, 2018: Bob Dunning

Mon, 12/31/2018 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

Bob Dunning.jpg

Bob Dunning moved to Davis in the early 1950s, began writing for the Davis Enterprise in 1969, and started producing his daily column in 1976. At that pace, he has probably written more words about Davis than anyone. Ever. On today’s show we talk about the column, the idea that the Enterprise could use additional local voices like his from a greater variety of people in Davis, what he thinks Davis needs most, and his memories of sharing a stage with Bob Hope at the legendary comedian’s fundraiser for the Davis Senior Center in the 1980s.
