SIRIUS Satellite Radio - Your Favorite Classic Rock Songs

DJ schedules are subject to change. Times are in Eastern Standard Time (ET) except where noted.

Dan Neer
Every Day 6 am – Noon ET

Christmas 1964 was the pivotal moment: he was given the transistor radio from which he heard The Beatles, The Dave Clark 5, The Rolling Stones and a host of musical treasures too good to be true introduced by a guy who sounded like he knew them all. It was then that 9-year-old Dan Neer came to a startling conclusion: DJs were cool. From 1977 to the present, Dan Neer has been heard across the country on radio hosting live events like premieres of new albums from the likes of Robert Plant, Keith Richards and Eric Clapton. He also hosted and produced Up Close, a weekly rock profile show that ran for 19 years. In addition he hosted official broadcasts of Woodstock '94, the 30th Anniversary Bob Dylan Concert from Madison Square Garden and a list that might make Paris Hilton cover up and go home. He now brings his first-hand experience to Deep Tracks with the joy and passion of a 9 year old. Literally, the kid has been let loose in the candy shop.

Every Day 4 pm – Midnight ET

From on-air host to producer and news director, Earle Bailey's radio career began in Bridgeport, CT, where he took to the airwaves in 1969 at WPKN. With stints up and down the east coast, Bailey finally landed at Philadelphia's WMMR where he produced and hosted a weekend two-hour show, Rock 'n' Roll Roots. It basically was a show on which artists and songs that had been banished from "classic rock" formats were given air time. Deep Tracks is just like Bailey's Rock 'n' Roll Roots 24 hours a day.

Weekends

Michael Tearson has been a DJ since the dawn of the album rock format. He's lived his whole adult life on the airwaves. He's a true radio legend with deep love and knowledge of the music, and of the musician's mind. As an actor, he has appeared in nearly 50 films and TV shows, including Blow Out, Dressed to Kill and Wise Guys (a De Palma trifecta!), 12 Monkeys, Oceans 11 and In Her Shoes. His record reviews appear regularly in Sing Out! and The Audiophile Voice. He's a busy guy.

Pat St. John | email
Every Day Noon – 4 pm ET

Pat St. John has interviewed members of The Beatles, The Stones and The Who. He's known Bob Seger for over 35 years. Gregg Allman's called Pat to play him tracks before they're even mixed. He's driven Eric Burdon of The Animals to a meeting where he signed a new record deal. He knows the players and they know him. When he's telling you about the songs he's playing, you know you're getting the real deal, because Pat lives and breathes this music.

Bill Fitzhugh
Bill Fitzhugh puts the music together like the old days of Free Form, Progressive radio where songs creatively transitioned from one to the next. The Mood and flow of the music is what made it special. It is radio “art.” Bill finds ways to put songs together in ways that make you smile or shake your head or say, “Whoa! That was cool.”
