Your host Ben Decker welcomes singer, songwriter, social commentator and satirist Dara Starr Tucker onto the show. Join them for a riveting conversation on Dara's upcoming album, her work in deconstruction, and how she embraces being multi-faceted and authentic. Her work captures her personal journey to healing through songwriting as well as highlighting the call for change that has swept across the United States.
Dara's original music blends the melodic and lyrical richness of the central plains with the soulful strains of the Black American musical experience.
Dara co-wrote the title track to, "Oklahoma,” the 2020 GRAMMY-winning
"Best Americana Album" for singer-songwriter, Keb’ Mo’.
Dara's 2021 album, "Dreams of Waking: Music For A Better World" stayed
on the charts for 26 weeks and peaked at #7 on the JazzWeek charts in the U.S.
Since 2020, Dara has expanded her outreach via TiKTOK and Instagram via her captivating commentaries on human rights, music and the arts, education and political action.
She has presented at the first, on-line DE-CONN convention for the religion deconstruction community, and her work has been featured in campaigns for HBO, FX, and Ebony/Jet Magazine.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
