The River Guy

Hey River Crew – My name is Clapper (yes – real name)

I am the Director of Marketing and Promotions for Atlanta's Only Classic Hits Station.

You can find me on the streets with The River
whether it's at one of the many great rock shows in
Atlanta on at one of our great events.

What a treat it's been building this station from scratch.
I have a deep passion for a lot of the music we play,
just like the passion that most listeners have for The River.

I have been in the music business for over a 17 years with stints in:

Detroit (WCSX- Rock City)
Memphis (WMFS- Home of The Blues and the Birthplace of Rock and Roll)
Birmingham Alabama as well as working for MCA Records.
Didn't Lynyrd Skynyrd sing about that? Working for the MCA!

Atlanta has been home for 10 years and I love it.


I have also had the pleasure to work in Traverse City Michigan (WKLT) It's one of the most beautiful places on earth.....Check it out someday if you ever get up to Northern Michigan
