Singer-songwriter Nancy Northrup (pictured) brings a smile, a love of life, and a deep appreciation for the art of music. Fresh from the Annual Gram Parsons Guitar Pull in Georgia, Nancy joins us to share stories and songs that celebrate the heart of Americana.
Rooted in the country, gospel, and folk traditions of Kentucky and Tennessee, Nancy’s music reaches deep—touching the soul with tales of love, hope, despair, and rebirth. Whether she’s singing of love lost or the strength of the human spirit, Nancy does it all with passion and heart.

"Think something’s missing?
"Something needs fixing?
"Some folks could use a hand? Don’t just scratch your head—get involved!
"This hour on Listening Lyrics might just show you how, one song at a time."

The music this week is a mix of a little bit of everything—each selection chosen with the help of my guest, Chris Tracy. The image shows half of his name because he was only on the show for half the time… which means he’ll be back! Chris lives here in Davis with his family and is deeply involved in the local music scene. He’s an accomplished drummer and plays in a couple of bands, so stay tuned as we spin some of his favorite picks.

So, the word of the day is slovenly. Yeah — slovenly. What do I mean by that? Well, to me, it’s music that’s a little messy, kinda careless, maybe even a bit dirty. Songs that aren’t trying too hard to be perfect — they just are.
Sometimes that sound comes from the artist or producer just being… slovenly, plain and simple. Other times, it’s totally intentional — they want that rough edge, that human touch.
Think of folks like Keith Richards or Jim Morrison — total geniuses who could make something brilliant while still sounding like they just rolled out of bed.
So today, I’ve pulled together a few tunes that, in my mind, really capture that slovenly vibe — songs that don’t need to be cleaned up, because the grit makes them great.

This week on KDRT!
In 2021, three middle-schoolers from Davis came together to form a band — and Hello Awkward was born! Fast-forward to today, and these young musicians are making serious noise. Meet Benjamin Brothers on lead guitar and vocals, Andrew Whang on percussion, and Atticus Yum on bass. In the KDRT studio this week on Listening Lyrics, they shine not just as rising musical talents, but as thoughtful, funny, and grounded young people with a clear sense of purpose.
Their love of music and life fills the airwaves, making this hour one you won’t want to miss. Tune in to KDRT for an unforgettable session with Hello Awkward — where youth, talent, and heart take center stage!

Eddy Owt covers for Pieter this week and fittingly discusses cover songs -- what makes a good cover, and how does an artist make a cover their own? And he plays fun and sometimes surprising covers.

Nearly 60 years after the Beatles performed their final concert at Candlestick Park, Beatlemania is back in the Bay in the form of "Eyes of the Storm" at the de Young, an exhibit of more than 250 personal photographs by Paul McCartney. Images of screaming crowds and paparazzi show the magnitude of the group’s fame and the cultural change they represented.
In this hour, I play the music of artists mentioned in this photo display -- music the Beatles enjoyed in the early 1960s.
Go back in time. Listen in.
