Celebrating the Circle

October 1, 2016 Dave

This week, Dave Stroud revisits the seminal release of 1972 that brought together multiple generations of musicians, introducing a new generation of listeners to their music and, in some cases, to each other. Will The Circle Be Unbroken was a concept made real by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, then a “bunch of long-haired West Coast boys” (as Roy Acuff would describe them) and the talent that they were able to muster would influence country, bluegrass, and rock for decades to come. In addition to the big names of decades before them like Roy Acuff, Maybelle Carter, and Jimmy Martin, the Dirt Band would bring together lesser known names like Vassar Clements, Norman Blake, and Oswald Kirby to make an album that is as fresh and listenable today as it was then. We’ll feature tracks from the album alongside some of the original performances by these legendary masters.

Country Roots

September 3, 2016 Dave

Deeper Roots revisits the deeper roots…focusing on old-timey sounds of some of the great performers playing the classic standards. Country music roots go back into the European melodies and folk tunes and their instruments called to a celebration of the Diasporas. This week: Gid Tanner, Vernon Dalhart, Al Hopkins, Jimmie Rodgers, Bradley Kincaid, Charlie Poole, and many others provide us a glimpse at where it all began. Join us for another roots-infused evening here in Sonoma County.

Hot Summer Days

August 20, 2016 Dave

As we make it over the summer hump, we’ll take time to celebrate all the things we love about the summer heat. Those stunning summer skies, sea breezes, backyard barbecues, and the lift of a summer rain. We’ve got the beach sounds of the sixties, Hawaiian medleys from the islands, sophisticated sass from Buster Poindexter, hot kissin’ from H-Bomb Ferguson, the summer rain, the summer sky, and the Summer Wind from Frank Sinatra. Rock, zydeco, country, pop, bluegrass, rock, and so much of what comes from the in-between this week on Deeper Roots.

Time is Passing

August 13, 2016 Dave

Theme time this week! We are going to dip into a sometimes raucous, other times wistful, blend of country, blues, jazz, and what-not…to celebrate (or is it bemoan) the passing of time in our show this week. The clock is ticking, the calendar flipping, and the little blue orb keeps spinning around that big bright one. And all the while we live our lives celebrating the luminous sounds on Deeper Roots; this week featuring Johnny Otis, Fenton Robinson, Bob Dylan, Texas Jim Lewis, Roy Acuff, and so many others. Time may be passing and we may like to reminisce and wax nostalgic, but we press on…driven by music from the past century (among other things).

Smoke! Smoke! Smoke!

July 23, 2016 Dave

Songs from the past century will fill the air with second hand music smoke…all songs that reflect either the hawkish or ‘dove-ish’ opinions in words and music. We have two hours of country, jazz, blues, pop, and all those adventurous styles in between that use nicotine for their muse. Country from k.d. lang to The Sons of The Pioneers, R&B from the likes of Lucky Millender to Benny Spellman, some doo-wop, some Sam Cooke soul, and a little bit of sweet big band sounds from Fred Waring’s Pennsylvanians. Maybe we won’t celebrate the habit…just the music.

Johnny Cash Tribute

July 16, 2016 Dave

Johnny Cash, like so many others, followed on the heels and inspiration of Elvis at Sun Records in Memphis, Tennessee. But while others (save for possibly Roy Orbison and Jerry Lee Lewis) would fight for the scraps from this ‘new sound’, Johnny less-than-obligingly would ignore all the best advice. He began with the simplest of songs delivered in a farm boy’s tone and, with the Tennessee Three in tow, grew the sound into an identity. Our show this week will lean on his own recordings as well as music from performers he was inspired by…we’ll also include music from contemporaries and those who he inspired.
