Steve Gorman, Founding Member of The Black Crowes, Joins The KQ Morning Show

We’re very excited to announce that Steve Gorman will be joining the KQ Morning Show! Besides being known as a founding member of the iconic American rock band The Black Crowes, Steve is also a syndicated radio host, author, podcaster, and a new resident of Minnesota.

Gorman will join Brian Zepp, Tony Lee and Candice Wheeler weekday mornings from 6am – 10am on KQRS. He can also be heard weeknights from 7pm-midnight on his Westwood One syndicated radio show Steve Gorman Rocks!

“When I got the call gauging my interest in the KQ Morning Show, I thought at first it must be a prank. A unique and truly iconic rock station in one of my favorite cities on Earth? Incredible. Easiest decision I’ve ever made. I can’t wait to get started.”
