Gary Saylin has had a KDVS radio show for many years and is part of the music scene. He currently works at Shields Library since he moved back to Davis in the late eighties. You may have seen him playing the nylon string guitar and ukulele around town at The Avid Reader or The Wardrobe and even at a Pirate Ship concert. He sometimes mobile DJs playing a mix of reggae, Hawai'ian, Latino/a, African and oldies. He also does a lot of production work at KDVS.
His solo musical stage act name is both G. Whilliker's Six-String Band for guitar and Gary's Ukulele for ukulele. Gary plays an instrumental mixture of International, blues, ambient and original folk semi-classical without amplification.
Gary's act was called The Village Vanguard back in the 80's.
His music website is :
