Fri, 12/13/2024 - 5:10pm | Pieter Pastoor

noah Cole.jpeg

When a young guitarist with a passion for musical excellence walks into the room, you can feel the energy shift. His idols are not your typical mainstream names, but rather the likes of the innovative Blake Mills, the soulful Adrianne Lenker, and the prodigious Julian Lage. As he settles in for our interview, it's clear this will be no ordinary conversation. Noah Cole (pictured), hailing from the vibrant music scene of Sacramento, is a force to be reckoned with. Noah showcases his talents as a guitarist in various bands, including the renowned Rowan McQuire and the dynamic Nat Leftkoff, and pays it forward as a guitar instructor.

His dedication to his craft is palpable. We are treated to a live performance, where he flawlessly demonstrates his fingerpicking techniques, and for the first time we are graced with his vocal abilities as a solo artist. This hour of pure musical magic will leave you wanting more. Sit back, relax, and let the words and music of Noah Cole whisk you away on a journey of sound and emotion. This is not just an interview, it's an experience. Let's dive in and discover the depth of talent and passion within this rising star.

See playlist below for the  recorded music played in this episode

On behalf of all of us at KDRT and Davis Media Access, thank you for listening, supporting, and attending our events during last week's On-Air fundraiser.  As a "volunteer-powered" grassroots station, we depend on the support we receive from our community, and last week was a record-breaker! We're also grateful to our friends at Armadillo Music, Davis Odd Fellows Hall, Blue Note Brewing, and Davis Manor Winter Bazaar for having us, and to the musicians who brought the live music - Alex Roth, Green Grass Snakes, the 410s, and Dave Nachmanoff.  In case you missed it, there is still time to support our community radio at kdrt.org/donate

Davisville, Dec. 9, 2024: What would make transit genuinely attractive? The search is underway

Mon, 12/09/2024 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Aboard a Capitol Corridor train 120424.JPG

Today we talk about a post-pandemic effort to figure out, seriously, what would make public transit more attractive to more Californians, so that more of us actually use it.

Our guest is Kari Watkins, co-director of the Transit Research Center and associate professor in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California at Davis. She’s a member of a state committee you probably don’t know about — the Transit Transformation Task Force, which has the job of figuring out how to seriously accelerate Californians’ use of transit.

Al Vasquez and Bill Edwards on Listening Lyrics, Dec. 6, 2024

Fri, 12/06/2024 - 5:01pm | Pieter Pastoor

Al and Bill.jpeg

Prepare to be blown away by two of the most talented and inspiring musicians to grace our studio. Al Vasquez, a master percussionist and vocalist, joined forces with the legendary Bill Edwards on guitar.

Despite some minor technical difficulties at the start, their raw talent and passion shone through in every note. As I sat there, surrounded by the electric energy of their live performance, I felt like I was transported into a recording studio. Their musical chemistry was undeniable, and I was honored to witness it firsthand. But enough from me, let their music speak for itself as you listen to the show.

Al will be gracing our local venues soon, so mark your calendars. On December 28, catch his quartet at Davis Wine Bar. And on January 25, don't miss his performance at the Winters Opera House alongside the incredible Dave Nachmanoff. Don't miss this opportunity to experience pure musical talent at its finest. Trust me, this hour will be a gift to your senses. So be swept away by the captivating performances you will witness.
