102.9 The Local Buzz Aljon's World's Largest Pedalboard Party kicks off NAMM this Thursday 7/16 @ The Rutledge! http://lnk.ms/0LxV3 Twitter @aljonrocks view more
About me: HISTORY OF THE LOCAL BUZZ: "The Local Buzz" launched on 102.9 fm May of 1999 shortly after station switched formats and has been a staple of Buzz programing ever since. The Local Buzz was actually a "spin-off" of "The Nashville Tapes" a long running locals only radio show on another station. When the station decided have a format change the brass at 102.9 decided to snach as much of the talent they could. In doing so they aquired the services of Aljon who was the host of "Tapes." Aljon named the show and began highlighting local artists for one hour every week. After six months the show was finally expanded to two hours (still one hour shy of the old Tapes program). In 2002 Aljon took a hiatus from the show to tour with his band Mink and was replaced by his production assistant Natalie. The show later was relaunched as "The Local Buzz Live" broadcasting live sets by local artists from 12th & Porter hosted by Casey. In 2004 Aljon was asked back to host the show he started and has been playing you "the best ROCK that Nashville has to offer" ever since. The Local Buzz has been responsible for launching the carreers of many local artists giving them radio air-play, promotion, playing Buzzfest and station events as well as getting major label record deals. You can tune-in and hear THE NASHVILLE ROCK REVOLUTION Sunday night's from 9-midnight. For more info visit: www.1029thebuzz.com.
ABOUT YOUR HOST Aljon...
You might know Aljon as the host of 102.9 The LOCAL BUZZ on Sunday Nights and the voice of the Buzz Around Town. What you may not know is that he has been on the radio supporting local rock since 1994. When he was in college studying to be a music teacher he decided to take on mass communications as a minor. After several months he was running the college station and working at WKDF. In a few short years he became the host of The Nashville Tapes, The Sunday Night CD's and Overnights! Aljon also has a passion for music and performing getting his start singing and playing guitar at the Country Music Hall of Fame at 12 years old. Ever since he has been performing with many area bands. He also believes in giving back to the community, a trait attributes to his family hosting various fund-raisers for The National Kidney Foundation among others. His familiar sign-off has been his signature for many years, "Don't forget to support local rock and become an organ donor today!" After many years of playing and touring around the world he brings his knowledge and personality hosting Local Buzz every Sunday evening for the best local rock show around!
