Steve Murphy is a 20-year broadcasting veteran who has primarily worked as a classical announcer, but has also dabbled in easy listening, news, and commercial voiceovers. Steve’s radio travels have taken him to stations on Cape Cod, on Boston’s North Shore, and in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he became an award-winning broadcaster and critically acclaimed concert singer. He has soloed with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra on many occasions, including a 2004 subscription concert appearance as a headliner in Charles Ives’ General William Booth Enters into Heaven, which was recorded for radio broadcast throughout North America.

When not on the air, Steve enjoys volunteering, attending concerts, and watching classic game shows. He also loves driving the highways and byways of this great nation, preferring to “take the road less traveled by” (his favorite is any road that’s not an Interstate highway). Steve is an admitted sports junkie and is a lifelong Boston Red Sox fan. He is married and has a grown son, two teenaged daughters, and an adorable adopted dog that was rescued from a puppy mill.

Larry King, sometimes known as ‘The Real Larry King’ since that is his real name, grew up outside of New York City where he was inspired by the radio stations and on-air personalities he heard as a child. He was also interested in music, especially classical and jazz. It was during his junior year that Larry became involved with his college’s radio station.

This ultimately led to a career in broadcasting for radio stations on Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, and Boston. He has worked for WCOZ, WMJX, WPLM, and WCRB in Boston, WVOI, WLOM and WQRC on Cape Cod and is currently the evening announcer and host on the World Classical Network heard nationally.

Larry sings with the Snug Harbor Community Chorus and enjoys listening to symphonic, chamber, vocal music and jazz. His favorite classical composer is Beethoven and his favorite orchestra is the Boston Symphony. He presently teaches an adult education course entitled “In One Era and Out The Other”, an historical survey of classical music and personalities.
