ROB SAVAGE
The Hill Country Rock Show
6a-10a
In the early 80's, there wasn’t much to do in small town Oklahoma. For young Rob and his friends, riding their bicycles through the dusty streets, listening to their favorite rock station on a boombox was often the height of entertainment. At this time, discovering Van Halen and ZZ Top inspired many young boys to dream of being rockstars, but Rob knew he wanted to be the one sitting behind the mic, spinning the tunes, and introducing the ROCK to the masses (also, Rob really sucked at guitar and, even at 12, he knew no one would actually pay him to play Pac Man).
​
So, Rob grew up and went to college, met the girl, started a family and launched a three decade radio career that included a stop at the ROCK station he grew up listening to, KATT in Oklahoma City.
​
Rob and his wife of 30 years have 3 daughters, 1 son, 2 children in-laws, 3 dogs, a cat, a bird, and a cannibalistic fish and they’re here to ROCK the Hill Country.

MARTY & SHANNON
5a-6a
Marty has four loves in life: His three children, and racing! Put him in a go-kart and he’s a happy boy. Put him in the stands with a Coors Light, and he’s in heaven. Marty loves watching sports and knows heartbreak as a lifelong Buffalo Bills fan. He’s done everything from club DJ to late night disc jockey in his 30-year career. The past sixteen years working with Shannon have obviously been his best in the business (Shannon *may* be writing this bio). And according to Marty pineapple does not belong on pizza.
Shannon grew up in the 80’s, a child of hippies and music lovers. She was listening to the Beatles and Janis Joplin while her friends were listening to New Kids on the Block. It’s what her dad called her “Early Music Education.” She’s a sci-fi nerd who loves anything Star Trek/Star Wars/Doctor Who-ish. Shannon married her college sweetheart, Ted, and got two beautiful step-daughters from the marriage, and then added one from scratch. She’s a proud autism mom. Her daughter is the light of her life who continues to teach her how to be a better person on a daily basis. Oh, and sometimes she forgets to change out of her “house crocs” and wears them in public.

MCKENZIE RAE
10a-2p
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.

STEVE GORMAN

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, and has toured the world relentlessly, leaving a small piece of his sanity at every stop. 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.

CARL RUSSO
12a-5a
Carl grew up with plenty of street & strip drag racing, stock car racing, and playing musical instruments and having a good time. He would then apply that energy into rock & roll and a career in radio. A major market radio personality, TV personality, and radio station owner, he did it all. His sense of civic duty was also a priority for Carl wherever he went. He served as a fireman in many cities where he’s worked.
