Bryan Jester

Bryan's broadcasting career began back when DJs still played 45's on the radio. He's studied acting and theater extensively, been a live nightclub DJ and performer, narrated audio-books, and spent 17 years as a writer and voice actor for the Radio Disney Network. Bryan has two passions that fit together perfectly: Classic (Mopar) cars and music on the radio. Windows rolled down and music blasting on the radio is how Bryan likes to go through life. When he's not at a car show or listening to music, his interests follow family, baseball, college football, and all things funny. Bryan knows from firsthand experience that he's bigger than Mr. T and smaller than Gene Simmons. Also odd, but true, Bryan was once mistaken for a wax figure at Madame Tussaud's in London.

Jay Coffey

Jay's been Rockin' and Rollin' for decades, beginning as a bass player in San Francisco Bay Area bands. His radio career begin at a small station in Modesto, and after four years moving around Central California, he wound up playing the hits in Los Angeles for over 28 years. A lifelong lover of Golden retrievers, he acquired a tolerance for miniature Schnauzers thanks to his wife Janet who’s been afflicted with Schnauzer-itis since her childhood on Long Island. Jay is dedicated to making radio fun and informative for his listeners.

John Summers

John's 30+ radio career has taken him all across the country in some of the biggest markets. His love of music as a musician has also done the same playing guitar in his own rock band along with work as a session musician for other great artists. When John's not rockin' on the stage or entertaining us on the radio he's hitting the hills off-road on his mountain bike or motorcycle, or buried in his music room going through his huge collection of LPs. He also loves a great novel and never misses the latest blockbuster movie.
