KDRT Welcomes Visiting Singer-Songwriter Lew Hopson This Saturday Noon - 1 PM On Silver Nine Volt Heart

Thu, 11/15/2018 - 10:52pm | Diane Crumley

DJ Rodriguez is thrilled to be hosting Lew Hopson, in-studio guest this Saturday when we will be treated to what Hopson calls Brand New, Old School Funk, Soul and R&B. Hopson is a man with many hats including singer/songwriter, author/poet, and actor in films and television, to name a few. For those of you who have been long-time listeners to DJ Rodriguez, you may have heard several tracks from Hopson's " When U Pick Up Da Funk" album played on The Grapevine show that aired for many years on KDRT. Lew Hopson grew up in Chicago listening to WVON radio, and was influenced by Curtis Mayfield, James Brown, Smokey Robinson and Etta James. He produced When U Pick Up Da Funk and the more recent Goody Bag albums with his friends at RudeLab Records and remains grateful to our grassroots community station for airing them on several of our shows.

Derrick with projector, 2018.jpg

… then what do some of the latest movies say about us? That’s one of the discussions on today’s 8th annual fall movie show with Davis film critic Derrick Bang (Davis Enterprise, Derrick Bang on Film). He also lists a few end-of-year movies he looks forward to, a few that have him anticipating the worst, and one that he says will likely allow no middle ground of opinion: Anna and the Apocalypse. As usual, this is a lively discussion!

The Big Poppies, KDRT, Listening Lyrics, Pieter Pastoor

This was EPIC. The Big Poppies are one of northern California's favorite bands and were in the studio with us. (In the studio 2/3rd of the Big Poppies, Chris Preston and Max Van Dyke). Their music is contagious with a heavy influence of blues, rock and throw in a bit of funk. Their stage presence is electrifying. If that is not enough, all of the band members are spot on talented musicians. Influences include the likes of Vance Joy, Alabama Shakes, Gary Clark Jr., The Black Keys, Daft Punk, just to name a few. On this show we will focus in on their new CD release
