David Fleming speaks with Matt Sorum - best known for his work with Guns & Roses, Velvet Revolver, The Cult... and this is they spoke the least about.

This edition of KVC-Arts is a re-broadcast of the program originally airing on 12/8/24, a year to the day prior to the passing of Raul Malo, original member and front man of The Mavericks. The Mavericks, while GENERALLY labelled as a country band, always produced and performed a variety of genres. They weren't TRYING to avoid being pigeon-holed as one thing or another. They were just playing music which spoke to them.This conversation has us exploring their 2024 release, Moon and Stars. I'm glad I was slow to go out and buy a copy, because Raul sent me one after the interview. Beautiful vinyl they're calling "lunar white." Again, just beautiful.And a wonderful conversation to go back to. Conversation about music I enjoyed, and laughter along the way. A nice memory to have.

The core of Cracker has always been Johnny A. Hickman and David Lowery. Before moving to Virginia, Cracker was VERY much steeped in The Inland Empire region of Southern California (The Dangers, Camper Van Beethoven & more). So, in early November when they were getting ready to wrap up their 2023 tour in Highland (a literal 10 miles from where I sit), I happily grabbed a chance for an interview. It was very much at the 11th hour, and David was teaching that day, but I was quite happy to speak with Johnny. Either one would have been wonderful. LOTS of GREAT material with both these guys!Even though there wasn't room in a KVC-Arts prior to their performance, we still spoke for just under an hour, so I could grab a snippet of the conversation to be used as a feature during Morning Edition and All Things Considered to promote their appearance and use the rest of the conversation for a KVC-Arts in the relative near future.So — taking us into the new year, it's Cracker for the next TWO KVC-Arts. Some of the items for the first show ... The songs "Low," "San Bernardino Boy," "Eurotrash Girl," "March of the Billionaires" and more ... and of course Cracker as a name for the band. These days it sometimes gets a person dinged on Facebook.

Last year I thought I'd just pad the KVC-Arts falling on Christmas with music from someone who'd been a guest on KVC-Arts in the past... to just kind of round out the show. Then I decided there were more than enough past guests to fill and entire program. So that's what I did. And this year we're getting it again. Not a repeat of last year's program, but again it's music for the season… all from folks who’ve been guests on KVC-Arts in the past, and some who live in this region!Quite fun... and at times quite beautiful. Music from (in order): Benjiphonik, Chris Thayer, Jonathan Karrant, Kenny Vance, Peter Curtis, and Apryle Dalmacio.
