Hey, Henry here! It is the joy of my life is to share bluegrass music with everybody, all the bluegrass and newgrass listeners. It’s all beautiful. I love the freedom to play what I love. Hosting WXPR’s Saturday Bluegrass show is the best hobby I’ve ever had. I listen to bluegrass all week long, in the car and at home, creating my shows. I want every song I play to be good, so I listen all week to put together a great show. Tune in Saturdays at noon. I may mix it up a bit, but if we don’t evolve, we’ll just fade away.

She is from O'Neill, the Irish Capital of Nebraska, and now lives in Kansas City. Based at KCUR, Peggy is the analyst for The Harvest Network and often reports for Harvest Public Media.

As music director Steve Brown curates and selects the classics you hear during our daytime music programing.

I was born in Rhinelander and remember the dark days before WXPR. The station has been an important part of daily life for my family going back to my Grandmother's radio tuned to 91.7 with the note "do not touch" taped to the tuning knob through my parent's love for the jazz programing and "Your Favorites." With ties to the hospitality industry I hope that I can bring support to the station for cultural and entertainment events in the area. Holiday Acres is always looking for ways to help move the station into the future.

People, nature, life and music, of all genres and eras, fill me with joy! My goal is to share those passions with our WXPR listeners. I often attempt to communicate through the music and I enjoy the back-stories to some of the music.
