KDRT 95.7FM Davis | Where the Grass Roots Grow

Deep Roots! That is what we all need to survive today! Help us grow our roots deep in Davis this fall during our short fundraiser, October 28 to November 3! Now is the time to give us a few bucks, a monthly donation, or a healthy dose of appreciation- whatever you think we deserve for our work. We operate on a shoestring, lots of volunteer passion, and you! KDRT-LP 95.7 fm is an effort we all put time into, and now is that time for our listeners and supporters.

How can you help?

Besides donating, plan to attend one of these fun events we've cooked up this week:

Sunday, October 28: Nickel Slots @ Berryessa Brewing from 3-6pm*
Tuesday, October 30: Treat yourself to a scoop at The Good Scoop, 3-9pm*

Saturday, November 3: Garage Sale at the Station! Come down to 1623 Fifth Street, get records, electronics, VHS tapes! Starts at 8am.

*(portion of sales goes to KDRT!)

When you contribute and participate, you provide for shows like the Davis Garden Show, Roots Shoots and Leaves, The Electric Compost Heap, Davisville, or Independent & Local. Do you see a theme? KDRT-LP is all about Davis values, and our programming, and programmers, reflect that.

KDRT-LP can’t exist without Deep Roots, and we ask you to contribute today, with any amount, to make our roots healthy this Fall of 2018. We love our supporters!

Brett Vaughn (of The Mindful) Joins us in the Studio, Friday September 7, 2018, 4:00PM

Tue, 09/04/2018 - 9:39am | Pieter Pastoor

Brett Vaughn (of The Mindful ) uses his passion in music to "find meaning in an often meaningless culture". Brett says If experimentalism is defined as "the philosophical belief that the way to truth is through experiments and empiricism", then the Mindful aim to be a musical expression of this belief. Founded by Berklee College of Music alum Brett Vaughn, The Mindful plays with sounds, styles and musical approaches at will, making use of primarily rock and jazz influences while also offering funk and Americana vibes. Not merely instrumental-based music, Vaughn's colorful lyrics narrate a vast and varied display of songwriting prowess and discovery.

sold August 2018.jpg

Today I welcome back Steve Boschken, an expert in Davis real estate, for a talk about the Davis market, trends, when the next recession might arrive, who’s buying houses in Davis, how the new rental housing in the works might affect demand, the number of houses listed for more than $1 million (1 in 4), and if building small homes would help make housing more affordable in Davis … and whether voters would allow them. He says he knows an architect who has considered it in Davis.

Davisville, Aug. 20, 2018: For new council members, an agreement with UC Davis is a first priority

Mon, 08/20/2018 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

Gloria Partida, Dan Carson August 2018.jpg

Mayor Pro Tem Gloria Partida and Councilman Dan Carson joined the Davis City Council in July after winning election in June. On today’s program they talk about their first priorities, what the city needs from UC Davis (and perhaps what UC Davis wants from the city), the difficulty of engaging a largely disinterested public … and, because this is still a town where people contact council members over concerns as micro-local as barbecue smoke, the best ways to reach them, and how soon you'll hear back if you do.

Samual Sancho Nelson, Listening Lyrics, KDRT, Pieter Pastoor

Listen now as we talk with Sam Nelson on his second appearance with us.. Sam Nelson is based in Sacramento. For Samual, music is the one thing that lets him truly live in the moment and feel catharsis. While performing his main goal is to express the truest meaning of the song. Sam sings 2 originals in this hour both songs do the title of this show justice, check out those lyrics. The last song Sam sings is a Nirvana cover "pennyroyal Tea" and he nailed it.
