June 3rd - Lemon Disco
As spring turns to summer and lockdowns are easing across the Lone Star State, Texas musicians are emerging from their slumber like wildflowers from the hill country! Not only does Lemon Disco have a brand new single for us, they also have begun performing live after a year of being cooped up due to COVID19. We discuss the emotions that come with reintegrating themselves into the DIY house show scene as well as the inspiration behind the tune "Wasted Weekends."
June 10th - DOPPEL
One need not be born and raised beneath a mesquite canopy in order to create great Texas music. Jan of the duo DOPPEL brought his talents to the good people of Texas from Germany and has been welcomed with open arms by audiences of all walks of life! The group's most recent work, Intermission, is a captivating collection of tunes that demonstrates both technical prowess and a delicate touch when necessary. We get to hear Jan's thoughts on creating during a global pandemic, the use of accordion in Norteño music, and of course, listen to DOPPEL's latest release!
June 24th - Brian Donohoe
Here at KRTU, we are united by music above all else. The day time jazz programming and Indie Overnight work in harmony with one another to deliver outstanding soundtracks to all tastes. However, some artists challenge where exactly the line between jazz and indie lies, or if it even exists at all! This week on Live and Local, we talk to Brian Donohoe about this very dilemma, what it's like to have a bassist poached by Kanye West, and his debut album as a solo artist, Soundtracks For Trying Times.
