Favorite fellow on-air DJ at KAXE?
I've liked everyone that I've met so far, but I will give a shout to, fellow After Darkers Cassidy and McKeon Hugh Roberts. Very cool passionate dudes to talk music with.

Collecting vinyl, heavy metal shows, hockey games, being outdoors, sweating profusely in the gym.
What's a musical ick for you?
A.I.!!!! All things A.I.! A.I. generated music, lyrics, or artwork. Not only ick, but yuck!
Prince or Dylan?
Trick question. Lemmy from Motorhead is God.

Jay Steelwolf's 50 Songs
In honor of KAXE turning 50, we asked our volunteers to send us a playlist of 50 songs that help tell their musical story.
Jay Steelwolf hosts KAXE After Dark on Saturday nights (9pm - midnight), our late night show that offers genres outside of what you typically hear on KAXE.
Steelwolf usually focuses in on heavy metal, so here are his 50 songs to play on your preferred streaming platform!
