Tell us about your favorite KAXE memory.
Favorite fellow on-air DJ at KAXE?
Again, how can I pick one? I loved listening to Scott Hall in the morning. DJ the DJ has introduced me to many artists I have grown to love. Mike Spry also plays awesome music shows. Heidi Holtan has always held a soft spot in my heart. And last but definitely not the least is Julie Crabb, for obvious reasons.

I enjoy adventure snowmobiling and motorcycling. A backpack full of clothes, no specific destination, and let life guide me (with music in my helmet of course).

KAXE is turning 50 in 2026! Why should KAXE exist for another 50 years?
Brandon's 50 Songs
In honor of KAXE turning 50, we asked our volunteers to send us a playlist of songs that help tell their musical story.
We grabbed these songs from Brandon's latest On the River show in January of 2026. We know you'll enjoy it!
