Stefanie Sere

Stefanie Sere

Stefanie hails from Brooklyn, NY where she got to see some of the greatest concerts and shows in both big and small venues.

Stefanie got her start in radio at WSIA in the early 90s. After moving around
in her early 20s and always going back to NYC, she finally moved to Colorado in 2002 never
looking back. Within weeks of moving to Colorado, Stefanie signed up with KGNU Boulder and
volunteered there for 10 years, off and on, taking a hiatus while she founded her own café and
bakery in Nederland.

It was in Nederland, at her bakery, where Stefanie met her husband and began a family a few years
later. Once her first daughter was born, she sold her business and bought a home in Denver.
After spending 9 years in Denver, watching it grow and become a place similar to Brooklyn,
Stefanie knew that she wanted to get out of the once “cute, little city” to avoid being in a big
city again.

“My love of music runs deep,” she says. From blues and classic rock to alternative rock and
traditional jazz, to some obscure stuff like The Residents and Pain Teens, Stefanie enjoys most
genres as long as there is the talent rooted in it.

You can hear Stefanie on alternate Tuesdays on KLZR on The Dope Signal from noon – 2pm.

Tamra Adducci

Tamra Adducci

Tamra- A Colorado Native and her hubby, Ed always knew Beautiful Westcliffe would be “The Place” to retire and build their dream home.
 Her love for music began as a young 60s girl playing the violin, listening to her brother’s albums  (without approval),  attending as many concerts as possible and vowing to never part with her CDs.
 She has reinvented herself from a Master baker to Lab Tech to owning her own Fiber Art business (still active)  to now playing music she loves here at the station.
“DJing Makes My Heart Sing!” She says.
 Her hobbies include;
Billiards,  Motorcycling,  The Outdoors,  Fitness,  Crafts,  Italian/vegetarian cooking,  and reading.
“A Book is Your Best Friend” her GMA would say.  But Tamra would add,  “So is music!”
Friends are always welcome in her home.
But,  her most priceless moments are spending time with her husband,  Son,  Daughter-in-law and being a “Nonna” to her 3 Precious Grandchildren!
“God-Family-Country!” Her favorite Quote!
You can sing along with “Tamra’s Timeless Tunes” of the 60s 70s & 80s every Wednesday from 2-4 pm
Richard Beattie

Richard Beattie

In two or three storage units in Denver, stacked in cardboard boxes were reel to reel tapes of a treasury of Folk Heroes. Standing in the concrete archives at Broadway and Evans, not far away from where Barry Fey started The Family Dog, was a Smithsonian-like Library with founder and collector, Harry Tuft looking through with Richard Arnold Beattie, the singer-songwriter and founder of Sound Century an organization that digitizes and remixes these types of things, so future generations can get “Folke’d up” as much as Richard is! Beattie is a media host, publisher and has been writing, telling, singing and playing stories and songs since 1972. Your mission is to enjoy the time machine to back where Folk Heroes roamed the earth.

Paul Schneider

Mike and Sharon Corage

Mike and Sharon Corage

Mike and Sharon Corage are excited to have a chance to host “Sidetracked” on Thursday afternoons from 4 to 6. As east coast kids from New York and Jersey, they felt the call of the west a couple of lifetimes ago. Raising 3 children with a hop, skip and a jump through the Philly and Denver metro areas, they stumbled upon Westcliffe in 2019, thanks to their son Rick. As empty nesters, they fell in love first with the view and more recently with the community. When they’re not hiking, biking, fixing or creating something, their grandchildren keep us busy and amused.

With much appreciation and admiration for all the arts, they’ve enjoyed listening to the wide variety of genres offered by various college radio stations since their early years and now right here on KLZR! Artists they admire, to name a few, are Laurie Anderson, David Bromberg, The Doors, NRPS, Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, CSNY, Hot Tuna, King Crimson, The Cure, The Ramones, Black Flag, REM, X, Camper Van Beethoven, Ween, The Fall, Flipper, Frank Zappa and Warren Zevon. With a steady flow of the Grateful Dead, Willie Nelson and a symphony or two in mix; music excites and soothes their souls.

“In spite of ourselves we’ll wind up sitting on a rainbow.”

Turn on / Tune in / Drop out / get “Sidetracked” with Mike and Sharon every Thursday from 4 to 6pm.

Skippy Diggler

Skippy Diggler

Growing up in Texas, DJ Skippy Diggler was exposed to all things music. The Austin live music scene was full of everything from Stevie Ray Vaughan to Willie Nelson to alternative dance music. Now spending half time here in Colorado, having the opportunity to share 80’s music with the Valley is “totally awesome!” The range of music genres is enormous.  Recently, Skippy has been learning acoustic guitar and loves playing for friends around the campfire. Who knows what the future brings, but he remains open to all things music and enjoying new friends and experiences in the Valley!

Since moving to the Valley in the summer of 2019, JJ has sought to broaden the fan base for Cowboy/Western Music by developing JJ’s Cowboy Corral (1st and 3rd Wednesdays, 4 – 6 pm) in two of the Music My Way slots. Here, he mixes Top 30 Cowboy hits with classic cowboy songs and artists, and a little bit of cowboy poetry. He also leans toward Folk Rock as a second language.

Jon Heman

Jon Heman

Jon is a local musician (drums), and happily retired full time Westcliffian. His show, “Chillwave Lounge,” airs the 2nd & 4th Wednesdays from 5-7 pm and tends to highlight newer bands/artists who operate on a downtempo wavelength. As long as it has a “chill” feel, you may hear tunes that cut across multiple styles; expect psychedelia, pop, americana, reverb soaked folk, funk, and shoegaze. So make yourself a nice cup of non caffeinated tea and Chillax to some newer music.
