Dave Alvin is no stranger to NorCal and he's back with three shows this summer. Growing up in Downey in Southern California, he learned his craft by seeing all the blues greats. He and brother Phil formed the Blasters in the seventies, and he's had many bands since including the Guilty Ones, Dave and Jimmie Dale Gilmore, and the Third Mind. He talks with Brian about song structure, great singers and more.
Jim Wilder is founder of Sunflowers Across America. It's a grassroots effort to spread flowers as a symbol of hope and resistance, across our divided nation, starting with Sonoma County.
Chuck Prophet is a good friend to the station. He's helping out with our Summer Fundraiser by donating a pair of tickets to the 3rd annual Summertime Thing music festival 6/28 at the Rio Nido Roadhouse. Listen to his chat with Brian about the festival, upcoming tour plans and more.
