Larry Stevens
Born and raised in Central Wisconsin, Larry grew up with a passion for music, thanks to his dad and older sister! His parents were avid country music fans, with a nice collection of albums from country legends like Johnny Cash, Jim Reeves, “Whisperin” Bill Anderson, Buck Owens and Hank Williams! In his 35 plus year broadcast career, Larry has had the opportunity to interview some country stars including Marty Stuart, Lorrie Morgan, Jeannie Sealy and Rudy Gatlin! In his spare time, Larry loves to travel, go to concerts and attend old car shows! Larry is LOVING playing Hodag Country music on 97.3 WHDG.
One thing you might be surprised to know: Larry’s maternal grandpa met notorious gangster John Dillinger! (And lived to tell about it!)
