Max spent an hour with us, his mission was to talk dirty with us, dirty blues that is. Max Van Dyke is a 22-year-old college student and musician.

From that early age he began playing in a rock bands including an all-ages band, The 220 Band in which he shared the stage with his father, a blues/rock band called A Beautiful Shade of Joe, and currently with Ryan Mcbride and Ari Schwartz.

Wyatt Hesemeyer joined us in the studio this week along with Keith Cary. Wyatt brings with him a real knack for songwriting and we aim to showcase that. He has a way with his lyrics, voice and guitar to make you cry in your beer. Wyatt also is the glue of Miss Lonely Hearts. We will also discuss his other passion, since he is an awesome tattoo artist

Here is an hour featuring songs I have Shazamed - Shazam uses a smartphone or Mac's built-in microphone to gather a brief sample of audio being played. It creates an acoustic fingerprint based on the sample, and compares it against a central database for a match. If it finds a match, it sends information such as the artist, song title, and album back to the user.

Ben Lewis and Brian Morgan are founding members of the Davis based six member folk, rock, funk and soul band Sometimes Warren. Tune in to hear about their new Davis music studio project and hear them play a couple of songs.

Here is a short GoPro clip of their performance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHrnwh-yFD0&feature=youtu.be,
