During the live broadcast of the Golden Road on February 7th at 6:00 pm, we welcome musician, composer, producer, artist and visionary, Bob Bralove of San Francisco.  Bob achieved considerable acclaim through his supremely creative work with the Grateful Dead during the late-1980's and early-1990's by essentially integrating modern sound alternatives (such as MIDI) into the live and studio mix of the band.

Hiya K-DIRT Listeners!

The Golden Road is feeling mighty thankful...to broadcast a weekly show featuring the music of the Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia and the sounds of Northern California is a wonderful opportunity. Since the month of November holds many fond memories for me, each broadcast of The Golden Road for Novemeber 2012 features music recorded live IN November! And since i'm feeling so thankful, and Thanksgiving IS right around the corner, I would like to host a little trivia contest.

The lucky winner will receive the 3 disc official vault release, "Grateful Dead Road Trips, Volume 4, Number 3 Live from Denver, Colorado". This excellent release was recorded live on November 20 & 21, 1973.

Here are the questions:

1. The song "Bertha" is about an appliance. What kind?

2. Phil Lesh once said, "It is safe to say that if we all had one wish, it would be that....". What was the one thing Phil wished for?

3. The Grateful Dead played more shows in a legendary San Francisco music venue than any other. What was the name of the venue?

Tune in to KDRT at 6:00 pm on August 23rd for a special edition of the Golden Road. In this broadcast we will feature a full 2 hour look & listen on the electric, acoustic & vocal creativity of Jerry Garcia's solo work. K-Dirt listeners will be treated to a nice mix of live and in-studio recordings from "the Maestro". We also have an excellent interview with Jerry providing a real cool history of how his passion in "searching for the sound" cultivated his unique & legendary playing style.

Hiya K-Dirt listeners!

This Wednesday, June 6, Yolo County's favorite rollicking band, THE NICKEL SLOTS, will appear live on The Grapevine at 6 p.m. Paul Zinn and Tony Brusca from the band will be in the KDRT studio to talk about their music, life experiences, what it's like to be "on the road" bringing their excellent sounds to folks and their upcoming show at the Woodland Opera House on June 16th. We will also be playing some choice cuts from their recordings...both studio and live tracks that will illustrate their passion for being creative and strong desire to ROCK!

Hello out there in Radio Land!

On December 25th, The Golden Road show will air it's annual broadcast of some epic sounds recorded live on some of those epic New Years Eve concerts in San Francisco by The Grateful Dead. If you ever had the supreme opportunity to attend one, you know just what I mean...and if you didn't, well...you can get a real good taste of what the soundtrack to these grand affairs was like!
