    About the Host

    John Ford: AM Radio (the AM stands for Americana Music). I have always loved radio - to give away my age (maybe), I used to call in to our local radio station to request ‘Lean On Me’ by Bill Withers (when it was a hit). In Junior High School, during free time, my friends and I would entertain ourselves by recording radio bits. I recorded public service announcements for my college’s radio station. Fast forward to 2015 and the first episodes of AM Radio, I finally got to share my love of music with Laguna Beach and beyond.

    I first moved to Laguna Beach in 1990, and despite a few attempts to move beyond the borders, something about this community keeps pulling me back. Aside from being out and about in town at festivals and music venues listening to the amazing local Laguna talent, you can see me playing music with The South Laguna Garden Band — and you can catch me from 3-5pm Sunday afternoons serving up some Americana Music, old, new and in between. Keep it tuned to KX FM 1047, Laguna’s Community Radio.
