McKenzie Rae (10:00am – 2:00pm)

McKenzie hit the ground running in a major market with her very first job over thirty years ago. Writing, producing, programming, and being a top-rated personality, she’s done it all. McKenzie’s a big fan of the outdoors. Exercising, walking her dogs, playing softball, and spending time with her daughter. She likes all kinds of music but has a passion mostly for classic rock. Led Zeppelin, Rush, Eric Clapton, and Van Halen are what she grew up with, so they bring back fond memories.


Bryan Jester (2:00pm – 7:00pm)

Bryan first hit the air just as Disco Music and 8-Tracks were starting to die off. In his career, he’s locked himself out of a live studio, ridden in a Chevy Chevette with George McGovern, and destroyed his hearing at SO MANY up-close concerts–including AC/DC, The Kinks, The Stones, The Who, Tom Petty, Aerosmith, and The Moody Blues.  He once asked Gene Simmons a stupid question backstage and paid the price.  Classic Rock, classic car shows, and swap meets are what Bryan enjoys in his off time.  Bryan has done a little bit of everything in radio.  He loves it, and is quick to say “It sure beats working for living!”  Also odd, but true, Bryan was once mistaken for a wax figure at Madame Tussaud’s in London.

Steve Gorman (7:00pm – 12:00am)

Steve cut his rock-teeth in Bowling Green Kentucky and was a communications major at Western Kentucky University.  That’s where he became a founding member of the band that became The Black Crowes. Steve was the Black Crowes drummer for more than 15 years. Not only is Steve well-connected in the Classic Rock world, he’s also an author, former host on Fox Sports Radio, and an incredible storyteller. Steve and his wife Rose Mary have two kids and entirely too many pets.


Harley (12:00am – 5:00am)

Harley was born and raised in New York City, where he learned to play music at a very high volume to drown out the noise. His fascination with broadcasting began at a young age when he would hide his transistor radio under the pillow and listen to the late night rock ‘n roll DJ while his parents thought he was sleeping. Now he IS the late night rock ‘n roll DJ! When he’s not on the radio, you’ll find him at a baseball game. He’ll be the guy lingering near the hot dog stand throwing shade at people who put ketchup on hot dogs.
