Doc Tari visits Listening Lyrics, recorded Sep 28th, 2018

Fri, 09/28/2018 - 5:05pm | Pieter Pastoor

doc tari.jpg

Listen now to Doc Tari as a one-man band, formed under the influence of New Orleans busking acts. Driving out feel-good rhythms on foot pedal drums, guitar and harmonica, Doc Tari sings songs that trace the roots of American music back through the annals of country, blues, gospel and folk music. His set includes new arrangements of both rare and well-known gems of American music as well as original songs, drawing on experiences gained while living across the country, from New Orleans to Montana and, now, veterinary school in Davis, California.

Andrew Castro talks about his book "Overcoming Anxiety" recorded Sep 21st, 2018

Fri, 09/21/2018 - 5:05pm | Pieter Pastoor

a castro.jpg

Andrew Castro has been a full time professional musician in Sacramento for about 4 years now. Over the summer he took a break from writing and performing music to sit down and write his first book and most important project of his life. It's called Overcoming Your Anxiety for People on the Go. The title comes from not managing your anxiety but overcoming it. The book is short and concise, only a little over 100 pages. In our fast moving world he wanted to make something compact and easy to reference.

It was just released on Monday the 17th and since then has hit #1 for New Releases in the short self-help category on Amazon. It also was #9 in Kindle version and #10 in paperback version in the major category Anxieties and Phobias.

Mon, 09/17/2018 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

Today's program rebroadcasts an interview from January 2013 with Joel Davis, a hometown Davis journalist whose book “Justice Waits: The UC Davis Sweetheart Murders” played a key role in solving the 1980 Davis kidnapping and murder of UC Davis students John Riggins and Sabrina Gonsalves. A Sacramento Superior Court jury convicted Richard Hirschfield of the crime in 2012, nearly a third of a century after the murders.

We had him back in the studio for the whole hour. Jesse Deere returned with a bag full of new songs and artists he has found since his "Dead Wax" days. Jesse has a very good ear to spot new and insightful music. So the playlist is all his. Tune in for a vinyl-centric exploration of Americana, from classic country to roots rock and blues. Check out the playlist below.

Thank you Jesse
