Roots, Shoots and Leaves

Roots, Shoots and Leaves' DJ Tree has a theory of music that involves a tree. Suffice it to say that it involves a trinity — an exploration of themes and connections among recording artists — and otherwise very few boundaries. Listen for music old and new, known and unknown. And if you listen long enough, you may experience some musical enlightenment.

Three young musicians in Home By 5 3 0 make one big impression, on Listening Lyrics, Sept. 4, 2026

Fri, 09/04/2026 - 4:00pm | Pieter Pastoor

IMG_6079.jpeg

The band Home by 5 3 0 is made up of students from Davis High School—young, bright, and overflowing with creativity. That energy and talent spill across the stage when they perform. Today, three members of the band joined me in the studio: Evie Barnett on vocals, Tjin Reusken on guitar, and Andrew Gonzalez on bass. They came to share a few stories and, more importantly, to sing and play.

Simply put, they floored me.

The three cover songs they performed showed a level of musical maturity, confidence, and sensitivity you would expect from musicians with much more experience. Their performances were thoughtful, polished, and full of feeling.

Sue Barnes and the Joy of Travel - September 2, 2026

Thu, 09/03/2026 - 9:23am | Pieter Pastoor

279582529_116744181016116_668648111309042443_n.jpg

This week’s host is Maria Lucchesi, Supervisor at the Davis Senior Center. Maria’s guest is Sue Barnes, who joins us to talk about the Davis Travelaires and the opportunities they offer for travel, adventure, and connection.

Sue knows a thing or two about travel. She currently serves as the UC Retirees Travel Coordinator and trip liaison. Before retiring in 2019, Sue spent nearly 25 years with the University of California, holding a variety of administrative positions at UC Davis in housing, campus events, and campus recreation. She later served seven years as director of the UC Davis Retiree Center, followed by three years directing the UCLA Emeriti/Retirees Relations Center.

And when Sue isn’t helping others plan their next adventure, she enjoys traveling herself—along with biking, sewing, crafting, and spending time with family and friends.

So, pack your imaginary suitcase as Maria and Sue introduce us to the Davis Travelaires.
