I'm a radio and music junkie. Love discovering new Chicago artists.
About Andy F
I worked at stations on the West Coast for a bit, then spent some time at the Chicago Tribune and elsewhere. Music is my passion! I'm am always looking for that new artist and love suggestions. Other interests include travel, the outdoors, our struggling Chicago sports teams and living in North Center, Chicago. CHIRP volunteers and listeners are the VERY BEST! It's great getting to know people who care about the station and local arts community.
