David Fleming

On Golden Pond, starring Judy Norton & Don Most opens the 2026 season of The Big Bear Theatre Project, running June 18th through the 28th. David Fleming speaks with Director Beth Wheat about the theatre, the show of course and how they ended up with Judy and Don - which ties into why The Big Bear Theatre Project is doing this show. We'll also hear JUST a bit on the scene in general around Big Bear and the lake.

Modern Natives: An Illustrated Collection of Reimagined Coast Salish Myths. This is the latest from Andrea Grant. We'll hear more about this absolutely wonderful new book, as well as some of her work in the world of graphic novels, including some which explore and tell of some Native American mythology, as well as a REALLY cool Edgar Allen Poe adaptation (to name just a couple). We also heard a bit about Minx, Andrea's superhero alter-ego which initially came to us in 4 issues but is now assembled into a single book. Minx works her way into the Modern Natives book as well. More at andreagrant.com.

Andrea Grant's latest book is Modern Natives: An Illustrated Collection of Reimagined Coast Salish Myths. This edition of KVC-Arts is an introduction to Andrea as author, artist, poet and more - and looking at some film work past and present.

Jonathan Karrant with The Joe Alterman Trio is an absolutely FANTASTIC release. On this edition of KVC-Arts, David Fleming speaks with Jonathan about the album, and we'll get a touch of the music as well. Blending jazz standards with tunes from jazz greats - which may or may not be a so called "standard." Tunes which you may associate with Nancy Wilson, Les McCann, Wes Montgomery... even Jerry Lewis! Mix these in with a couple pop megahits with a WONDERFUL jazz treatment (Your Song, Everybody's Talking, Don't Let Me be Lonely Tonight), and you have "Jonathan Karrant with The Joe Alterman Trio Live in Concert." This - and a sneak peak at his NEXT release, due out in September.

Jonathan Karrant joins David Fleming to spotlight his latest release, "Jonathan Karrant With The Joe Alterman Trio: LIVE IN CONCERT. Two tunes from "On and On" made it to this concert and it's really nice to see (and hear) the evolution OF these tunes. The others are tunes which are attention getters, just scanning the back of the disc. Some you may only know of as instrumentals... and Jonathan delivers FUN, fun takes! The first broadcast of this show happened to fall on Mother's Day, and we just HAPPEN to begin the program he released FOR Mother's Day!
