Today between 11am-12, on “Rocket Garden Holiday” (which airs Fridays from 10am-noon), host Chris Vestuto will air an in-studio performance that he recorded on June 6th with the musician and multimedia storyteller, Sonny Smith. A San Francisco native, Smith started playing blues piano during his teens in Colorado in the late 1980s. Over the course of his artistic career (which has included ventures in play- and screen-writing, and short stories), the critically-acclaimed Smith has worked with a panoply of celebrated musicians, including Neko Case (for whom he’s opened on tour), Jolie Holland, Mark Eitzel (of American Music Club), Miranda July, and members of Wilco, Vetiver, Mekons, and the bands of David Byrne and Beth Orton. Sonny Smith’s band, Sonny and the Sunsets, made a Saturday morning stop at KCSB during their recent west-coast tour.
“Culture of Protest” host, Professor Dick Flacks, writes: “We began ‘Culture of Protest’ in June 1982; for me its been a voyage of discovery of the wealth of music, past and present, that responds to the struggles and movements that shape history. This week’s anniversary show will be a bouquet of songs, old and new, that sing about the power of song itself. Tune in for some beautiful words and music.” “Culture of Protest” airs Thursdays, from 6-7pm.

About tonight’s broadcast of “Culture of Protest” (Thursday, June 19, 6-7pm), Professor Dick Flacks writes: “Liberation Landmark — Tonight we celebrate the advent of marital freedom in California with songs whose messages may on the way to being obsolete! I’ve found dozens of songs coming out of gay liberation consciousness that speak to the ‘love worth fighting for’–songs of satire, passion and hope. We’ll sample a bunch of these tonight.”
