Greg Perry

Greg started at KCBX in 2009 when he was first hired to manage KCBXnet, the Internet and computer-training arm of KCBX, Inc. He became development director of the station in January of 2017 and worked in that position until September of 2023, when he retired. He continued part time with KCBX from 2023 until 2026, working on fundraising, event organizing and marketing for the station.

Greg contributed many talents to the station and to KCBX's Live Oak Music Festival. He offered IT support, web design, graphic design, volunteer coordinating, and was quick to troubleshoot almost any problem — from leaky ceilings to broken spreadsheets. Greg even had his own music show for a few years. He founded our ongoing program Pacific Standard Time, which features music from the Great American Songbook.

Greg is a native Central Coast resident who grew up in Atascadero, and was an early listener to KCBX, getting his introduction to the station through the show Prairie Home Companion after reading Garrison Keillor's Lake Wobegon Days. He served his country with a tour in the Air Force, then returned to the Central Coast to go to school. He has worked a variety of jobs, but says he most enjoyed his time with KCBX and considers himself fortunate to have had the opportunity to work for a station he has followed and supported for decades.
