Buzz Brainard was raised on country music and his dad’s old vinyl records. His journey to Nashville and radio has taken him from Michigan to NYC to Los Angeles. Brainard has worked as the voice of Disney Channel, hosted shows such as This Week In Baseball and Maximum Exposure, and appeared in films, TV shows, and commercials. It’s been a crazy ride, but Brainard feels at home here in Music City with his SiriusXM family. In addition to his love of music, it’s golf, bourbon, and baseball for Buzz.

Danielle Peck is a multifaceted talent in the music industry. An accomplished recording artist and performer, Peck has enjoyed chart success with songs such as “I Don’t,” “Findin’ A Good Man,” and “Isn’t That Everything,” and has cultivated a loyal fan base on the road, performing hundreds of shows both as a headliner and in support of country music’s biggest names. While music has driven her life since childhood, it’s only recently that she’s centered it in a deeply personal place. “When I first came to town I had been writing songs by myself and performing them on the road,” she says of early years with her Ohio-based band. “When I got to Nashville the big thing was co-writing, so I had to learn how to write with someone else. I felt like I always had to have 10 ideas and was always writing toward the catchy song, the clever turn of phrase, something I thought radio would want. It wasn’t so much about what was inside of me, where I was at, or what I believed. A lot of the songs I wrote back then are great, but I’ve learned to let go of some of that and write from a more personal perspective.”Not only has Peck’s writing style evolved to reflect the artist she is today, her talents have been utilized in other areas. In addition to performing, Peck appears as a weekday host on SiriusXM’s Y2Kountry where she gets to play some of her favorite music by her friends, as well as share some of the good stories from years of touring with fellow Y2K artists. When not broadcasting to all of North America, you may find her hosting your local/regional music festival, corporate function, or charity event.

Al’s first radio station was a Mr. Microphone set to broadcast to the *entire* Skop house. Let’s just say on SiriusXM he covers a bit more ground. Al is into hiking and biking and loves our country’s National Parks, which he’s  been checking off with his family over the last few years.
