The Wild Fox Party focuses on vocal groups , small-group ensembles, and outstanding vocalists and instrumentalists who never or hardly ever get heard.

Davis Music Fest with Kyle Monhollen, on Listening Lyrics, June 6

Mon, 06/02/2025 - 10:41am | Pieter Pastoor

DMF kyle.png

The 13th annual Davis Music Fest kicks off June 20—and trust us, it's not just lucky number 13 for the organizers! This week on Listening Lyrics, we'll serve up a musical sampler platter featuring songs from the many artists rolling into town for the weekend. Think of it as a sneak preview with less walking and no cover charge.

With dozens of artists, venues, and genres on the menu, your ears are in for a feast.

Joining us is Kyle Monhollen—the man in the middle of this musical mayhem—who’ll dish on what it takes to pull off an event of this scale (spoiler: coffee and spreadsheets).

Tune in Friday at 4 p.m. and get a feel for the festival vibe. You might even walk away with a game plan for which venues to hit—and maybe a few new favorite bands to name-drop.

Electric Compost Heap -- May 30, 2025

Sax in the studio on Listening Lyrics, May 30, 2025

Fri, 05/30/2025 - 5:10pm | Pieter Pastoor

Harold.jpeg

Meet Harald Tollerup — Davis High School senior, jazz saxophonist, journalist, and a young man who treats the future like it's his personal playground (and he's already winning).

Harald dropped by the studio this week with a playlist he hand-picked himself. Now, I believe a playlist says a lot about a person — and Harald’s? It spoke volumes. It was creative, honest, and refreshingly original … just like the guy who made it.

Not only does Harald share the soundtrack of his world, he also brings out the sax and plays live — because why just talk about jazz when you can be jazz?

It’s one great hour of community radio — don’t miss it!

Daniel Boling (featuring Tom Paxton), Dee Robinson, Lee Hunter and the Gatherers, and a new single by Lisa Bastoni.
