Recently, KDRT lost two truly wonderful and creative volunteers. Not just volunteers, but super-volunteers—friends who helped shape the heart and soul of this station.

Minneapolis keeps producing artists who are technically sharp, stylistically open, and community-rooted. That mix explains why musicians from the city move easily between funk, jazz, indie, and pop—and why the music feels both local and universal.

Listen in to an hour of music from the Twin Cities.

Hispanicémoste Music in America. https://kdrt.org/audio/escuchando-letras-hispanic-music-america-dec-12th-2025 KDRT 95.7FM

When we talk about Hispanic music in America, we’re talking about a story that’s been here all along. In the 1950s and ’60s, this music lived mostly inside the community. Mexican rancheras and mariachi carried stories of home and heartbreak. Cuban rhythms like mambo and cha-cha-chá filled dan...

A hint of Techno https://kdrt.org/audio/hint-techno-dec-5th-2025 KDRT 95.7FM

This week on the show, we’re stirring things up with a playlist that carries just a hint of techno. Not a full dive into the club scene—more like the perfect recipe where a pinch of something unexpected transforms the whole dish. A subtle pulse here, a shimmering synth there… just enough to wa...

Sax in the Studio. https://kdrt.org/audio/sax-studio-recorded-may-30th-2025 KDRT 95.7FM

Meet Harold Tollerup — Davis High School senior, jazz saxophonist, journalist, and a young man who treats the future like it's his personal playground (and he's already winning). Harold dropped by the studio this week with a playlist he hand-picked himself. Now, I believe a playlist says a lot abo...

A listener took my mic on the radio
Ray Keck KDRT 95.7FM

This week on Listening Lyrics, I threw caution to the wind and handed over the keys—well, the playlist—to none other than Ray Keck (pictured), a Davis legend and music maestro in disguise. Ray didn’t just walk into the studio—he stormed it with a playlist so good, I briefly questioned my own...

KDRT 95.7FM, Rainbow City Park

Well, that was a first! In 13 years of hosting Listening Lyrics, I have never—never—forgotten that I had a guest band scheduled. My plan was set, a themed show ready to roll… until I played my first scheduled set. And just like that, everything changed. Enter Rainbow City Park. This insanely t...

A Valentine Day Treat. KDRT 95.7FM

Sometimes, the best moments happen on a whim. While riding my bike, I heard music drifting through the air and followed the sound. That’s when I found Leyna on piano and Quy on guitar—two students completely lost in their moment of zen. Though music isn’t their major, it’s their passion, and...
