Kari Hedlund, Music Director

Kari Hedlund

Music Director

The music director at KAXE since 2014, Kari (pronounced Car-ee) Hedlund reviews music on the daily. She also hosts New Music every Wednesday (2 and 10 p.m.) and Sunday (noon), along with the KAXE Morning Show on Thursdays.

She coordinates and books concert lineups and festivals like the Bemidji Block Party and Grand Rapids Riverfest and is a contributor to the nationally syndicated Sheroes Radio program. 

KAXE has worked toward a 50-50 male/female and female-identifying sound since the early 2000s. Kari has continued to push that as priority into this next era by presenting equity in all manners on the air and within festival and concert lineups.
