OUR PROGRAMS

E-Town

eTown KDRT

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

In the Key of Folk

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

Ray Keck takes the mic on Listening Lyrics, May 9, 2025

Fri, 05/09/2025 - 5:10pm | Pieter Pastoor

R keck.jpeg

This week on Listening Lyrics, I threw caution to the wind and handed over the keys—well, the playlist—to none other than Ray Keck (pictured), a Davis legend and music maestro in disguise.

Ray didn’t just walk into the studio—he stormed it with a playlist so good, I briefly questioned my own musical taste. (Don’t worry, I recovered.)

And behind the mic? Ray was smoother than a jazz sax solo at midnight. The guy was born for radio—I'm pretty sure his voice came with built-in reverb.

Thanks for gracing us with your presence, Ray, and for not hijacking the station entirely. We’ll keep your chair warm.

P.S. This is our fund-raising week, and wouldn't you know it? Ray contributed so he could receive his own special KDRT T-shirt.

www.kdrt.org/donate

Check out the playlist.
