Family has been a key component in Dave Davies' career. A founding member of the The Kinks and a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Davies and his brother Ray created some of rock’s most influential music despite  — or perhaps because of — their decades-long tempestuous relationship. Now, after recovering from a stroke that forced him to relearn to play guitar, Dave Davies has a new album — this time with his son, electronic musician Russ Davies. Open Road is a nine-track album made up of a variety of sounds, including rock, pop, and electronica.

A lifelong resident of the Capital Region, Ian joined WAMC in late 2008 and became news director in 2013. He began working on Morning Edition and has produced The Capitol Connection, Congressional Corner, and several other WAMC programs. Ian can also be heard as the host of the WAMC News Podcast and on The Roundtable and various newscasts. Ian holds a BA in English and journalism and an MA in English, both from the University at Albany, where he has taught journalism since 2013.
