You all know I just love my Reno and Placerville live music venues. Well, now we’ll see how they’re pivoting so they can still rock our heart and souls!
My cohost is DD James, a singer and songwriter who will play one of my favorite songs, “49 Wines.” We’ll also be joined by one of Reno’s favorites, Eric Andersen. He’s a solo artist, songwriter, and MUCH more. Eric will be showcasing his newest original, “Holding Space.” Fun fact: Eric was one of my very first interviews back in the day!
We’ll also be joined by J Woody, a Placerville-based musician, who is releasing his record of a lifetime, “Put Your Hand In Mine.” It’s been almost 50 years in the making. I’m so excited to share it with you on today’s show! He'll be hosted by Nello Olivo Winery - Highway 50 Brewery, whose Camino tasting room is one of my favorites! 🍷

Today on City Talk, after months of wearing sweatpants and pajamas, where will the fashion fallout after COVID-19 take us? Will we still be trading our morning commutes for Zoom sessions?
We’ll be talking with two of my favorite fashion experts who have you covered. Blythe Anderson of Labels Fashion Boutique and Britton Murdock of the Biggest Little Fashion Truck will get us back on track. While we don’t know where fashion will take us, we do know that style is a lot like love: even when you try, you just can’t stop it!
We also know that our community is always giving back as we welcome our friend Grant A. Denton, the Operations Manager of the Downtown Reno Partnership, to share just how much Reno cares. He has partnered with the Community Caregivers Initiative program that recognizes presponders, health professionals, and first responders who need respite and relief the most. The mission is to provide self-care products to those who are helping others to remind them about their own self-care. I sure know shopping helps with my self-care.

Next up is Kay & Shi who will be launching theirFeed The Local Need Live-Athon, an initiative designed to showcase how we can, even sheltering in place in our homes, raise awareness to the fact that many local businesses all over the nation have had to make adjustments to stay afloat, and that lots of individuals have had to do the same to stay intellectually and socially stimulated! They’ll be showcasing all sort of ways you can #FeedTheLocalNeed. Bonus Wine & Charcuterie from Engine 8 Urban Winery in Sparks, Nevada. Thank you to Wendi and Mike Rawson.
