DJ Swallow DJ Profile

I was a college radio DJ and station manager in the early 90’s and in 2010, I discovered CHIRP as a listener and have volunteered for the station since 2015. You can hear my show Monday nights from 6pm-8pm on 107.1FM and chirpradio.org playing a mix of indie, punk, jazz, blues, psych, soul, early rock-n-roll, and of course, local Chicago music. I'm also the station's Marketing Director, helping to get the word out about CHIRP.

I am a life-long Chicago area resident and have lived on the city’s Northside since 1995. My other time is spent as an artist - creating cityscape paintings and photographs of architecture. Follow me on Instagram.

You can listen to DJ Swallow's two most recent shows below.
