DJ Dave

In the Key of Folk with Karen Leyse offers music that will keep you humming or dancing along — perhaps both! The focus is on traditional and current folk music, Americana, and bluegrass, with Celtic, Nordic, and Spanish infusions — wherever Karen's travels and interests take her. In addition, the music of contra dance, an American Folk tradition that came with English and other settlers, will often be threaded through the hour. Don’t know it? Check it out.

Live Wednesday 2-3pm

Replays Tuesday 11am-12pm

E-Town

E-Town, taped before a live audience in Boulder, Colorado, features today’s top folk and Americana artists, along with information and discussions on the environment and conservation. Host Nick Forster nimbly walks the line between musician and radio journalist, playing guitar, mandolin, or lap steel with musical guests and then switching gears to engage artists in conversation. Co-host Helen Forster lends her voice to both the spoken and musical portions of the show.

Live Saturday 10-11am

Davisville, May 28, 2018: When you’re looking for regional solutions, talk to Martin Tuttle

Mon, 05/28/2018 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

Martin Tuttle 051418.jpg

We’re short on housing, the roads are crowded, the amount of homelessness is a disgrace. How do we solve problems like these—actually solve them, not just talk about them? Starting in the 1980s, Martin Tuttle has held jobs that have allowed him to observe, address, and help fix problems in the Solano-to-Placer region, from his days as a chief aide to then-Assemblyman Tom Hannigan, to Tuttle’s current job as city manager for West Sacramento. He leaves that job in June. Today we talk about the regional identity, how the area has changed since the 1980s, what we can learn from the ways we've solved problems before ... and get his take on two of our most intractable public works problems today: transportation and the lack of housing.

Elias Lucero a gifted guitarist on Listening Lyrics recorder May 18th, 2018

Fri, 05/18/2018 - 5:05pm | Pieter Pastoor

IMG_0992.jpg

Elias Lucero is one gifted dude. Listening Lyrics was thrilled to have him on the show. Not only is he talented but a very articulate and all around great guy. Elias is a music student at Sacramento State. He plays in several bands including Papa Joe and The New deal. Elias is also very busy between schools and the many gigs he squeezes in. Genre you ask? Well better ask Elias himself he answers that during the show. Elias was my first guest that feeds his guitar directly into the studio board, which is new board as of a few weeks ago. So the hour does have some techinical hic ups.

Davisville, May 14, 2018: What's it like to be mayor of Davis? Or the mayor’s spouse?

Mon, 05/14/2018 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

Davis City Hall May 2018.jpg

If we want a city council that represents the people who live here, then we need people who’ll give their time, effort and skills to serve on it. Candidates with political ambitions or appetites might get a career out of the work, but the citizen council member -- what's the reward for them? What's the cost? And because in a marriage the important experiences of one partner are also felt, in some fashion, by the other partner, then what’s the experience for the spouse? Today's guests are Robb and Nancy Davis. Four years ago, Robb ran his only campaign for the council, came in first, stepped up to mayor two years ago, and now completes his term this summer. On today’s show Robb and Nancy discuss how the experience affected them, and their comments include a candid explanation of why he didn’t want a second term.

Listening Lyrics is proud to present Didar Singh Khalsa. Didar Singh Khalsa has played guitars for 52 years but only six years ago started writing songs, singing and recording them. Inspired by six consecutive trips to the guitar/songwriting camp taught by the amazing Richard Thompson. He claims the muse is relentless and not even very intermittent. Let’s test that theory.
