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.

'Eyes of the Storm' photos by Paul McCartney, on Listening Lyrics, Sept. 5, 2025Fri, 09/05/2025 - 5:10pm | Pieter PastoorNearly 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. |
MyDavisCalifornia on Listening Lyrics, Aug. 29, 2025Fri, 08/29/2025 - 5:10pm | Pieter PastoorHeads up: This live recording comes with a few “authentic” technical hiccups (let’s call it character, not static). Luckily, the enthusiasm more than makes up for it—it practically jumps through the speakers. In the studio with me are Richard Jia and Gray Eby of MyDavisCalifornia, chatting—sometimes loosely, sometimes wildly off-track—about their website and the quirky little town we all love, Davis. Now, this isn’t your average “local blog where someone posts about their cat and favorite burrito joint.” Nope. MyDavisCalifornia is a full-on content playground: stories, visuals, collaborations, insider tips—the works. Born in 2021 out of sheer enthusiasm (and possibly too much coffee), it’s become the digital buddy you didn’t know you needed for exploring Davis. |

A fixture in Davis, David wears many hats—musician, activist, music teacher—but none of them fully capture his easy warmth and boundless optimism. He radiates joy in the most natural way, turning everyday moments into acts of connection. In this episode, David dives into his music, the mission behind his activism, and the heart he brings to teaching. It’s an hour of conversation that feels like a song you want to play again. |
