Victor Krummenacher.jpg

Victor Krummenachher appears at Davis Media Access

If you’re looking for someone so good that a local record store, a house concert producer, and a community radio station all jumped on board to bring him to town, then look no further than Victor Krummenacher. Serving up music that draws from influences as far-ranging as cosmic folk, the blues, and even a smattering of punk, the renowned musician plays an intimate “living room” show at Davis Media Access (DMA) on Friday, Aug. 14, co-presented by Armadillo Music, Bill Wagman, and KDRT. The show features fellow Camper Van Beethoven member Greg Lisher on guitar, along with Bruce Kaplan of American Music Club on pedal steel. The music starts at 8 p.m., and tickets are available at Armadillo Music, 207 F Street in Downtown Davis. Davis Media Access is located at 1623 Fifth Street. Get your tickets early: This is a small venue, and seating is limited to 40.

Album of the Week - 7/30/15 at 5:00PM - Alabama Shakes "Sound & Color"

Thu, 07/30/2015 - 11:20am | Pieter Pastoor

Album of the week - KDRT 95,7FM

 

"Sound & Color is not an electronic record. But it is strange and mystical and unexpected—more Houses of the Holy than "Holy Cow". It’s got past lives and future people, traces of Curtis Mayfield, Erykah Badu, MC5, the Strokes. There’s a song called "Shoegaze" that could find a second home on the Rolling Stones’ Tattoo You. Bon Iver collaborator Rob Moose provides eerie string arrangements that slowly encroach on songs like ivy climbing up a fence while the band and co-producer Blake Mills tweak tones and rhythms to make guitars and drums and bass and keyboards sound genuinely exciting—fresh, even—in 2015. This is stadium soul with one eye peeking toward another galaxy while hands and feet and throats desperately try to suss out life here on Earth." review by PITCHFORK - see complete review here http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/20420-sound-color/.

Jordan is heavily influenced by fingerstyle guitar music and his father’s playing, He blend multiple styles of guitar into one holistic genre.

Noah Byrd on Listening Lyrics Friday 7/24/15 at 4:00PM

Noah Bird.jpg

Noah Bird visits KDRT

"We finally landed an interview with Noah Byrd. Spend an hour with this local songwriter, right before he leaves to tour the Pacifc Northwest. With a voice compared to Elliot Smith and Bradley Nowell, he combines melancholic vocals with punk-influenced acoustic guitar, giving an aggressive undertone to his otherwise laid-back sound."
