Over the years, Axel has talked to the biggest names in ROCK. From his latest conversations to some interviews from years ago, here's a collection of great stories.
Why wouldn't I want to talk to a legend. Can you believe Barry wrote the theme song for McDonald's and has never eaten there?!?!?
Joel Hokestra has been the lead guitarist for TSO, Whitesnake and Cher, to name a few. Axel catches up with Joel to talk about this year's TSO show.
Don Barnes is not only the voice of 38 Special, he's also a Cobb County resident.
Axel Lowe is a 30 year veteran of the Atlanta airwaves. He was raised in a suburb of Chicago (Naperville), and moved to Atlanta in 1989 to finish college. Axel graduated from the Art Institute of Atlanta with a Music Business Management Degree and was working for Arista Records when a rare on-air opportunity came up at a popular Atlanta radio station. A career pivot happened, and he's been that familiar voice on the Atlanta airwaves for 3 decades.
Axel met his wife Kellye in college, and they've been married since 1995. They have 2 daughters, Ava and Vivian, and a fur child, a Havanese dog named Georgia. When the girls were younger, Alpharetta was home for the Lowe's. Now that Axel and his wife are near empty-nesters, Sandy Springs is home base.
When he's not on the air, Axel enjoys riding his Harley, collecting and playing guitars...the playing is questionable, golf, Braves baseball, and smoking meats and hot wings with cold beers on the weekend. Join Axel weekday mornings from 5:30-10 on 97.1 The River!
