Shows

This music block is all about the pop songs from the ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s that didn’t quite make the top 40. Catchy tunes and deep cuts from artists who may not have been household names. No top charts, no rules—just great pop you missed.

More information coming soon.

Here we check in with the FUT Phone, and hear from our local community. You will also hear historic stories and local lore.

Back in 2018 a few of us with KAAD and The Greater Good had the pleasure of working with the fine people at Rock in Road at the last Strawberry Music Festival held on the Westside property in Tuolumne. There we were introduced to their festival Hog Ranch Radio team who let us commandeer the airwaves between sets. They shared with us a library of music from local Strawberry performances which we have compiled for you here.

Remember when late night radio was weird? Well we are taking that a few steps further. We dare you to join us on a mind bending journey through a collage of sounds orchestrated by the majestic Jimmy Excess.

Where we explore artists who have performed in the county at many different Fire on the Mountain Productions. Richard Burleigh, Corrine Gransdstaff and crew put together many many great events throughout the years including Sonora Blues Festival, Sonora Christmas Craft & Music Festival, Twain Harte Summer Art & Wine Festival and several other standalone concerts and events. Corrine donated several boxes of CDs which our volunteers are cross referencing with event posters and hazy memories to bring you the cream of the crop from decades of amazing music. Sit back and enjoy the likes of Joe Craven, Doo Doo Wah, Joe Bonamasa and more.

A moody eclectic mix of alternative electronic and americana, as well as music from around the world. Rooted in gen-x misanthropy, but spanning decades. Brought to you live from Richard’s living room. Chill out and sip your coffee, fill your head with ideas. National artists and local favorites.
