The Highway

Buzz Brainard was raised on country music and his dad’s old vinyl records. His journey to Nashville and radio has taken him from Michigan to NYC to Los Angeles. Brainard has worked as the voice of Disney Channel, hosted shows such as This Week In Baseball and Maximum Exposure, and appeared in films, TV shows, and commercials. It’s been a crazy ride, but Brainard feels at home here in Music City with his SiriusXM family. In addition to his love of music, it’s golf, bourbon, and baseball for Buzz.

Growing up in Massachusetts, Ania Hammar didn’t discover country music until high school, but after hearing artists and groups like LeAnn Rimes, Martina McBride, Sugarland, Keith Urban, and Rascal Flatts for the first time, she was hooked. Since then, she’s fallen even more in love with the storytelling and songwriting our Highway artists bring to the table, and she’s the first to admit she’s a total fangirl. Catch her weekdays with Buzz Brainard during the Music Row Happy Hour before she takes over The Highway solo each night.

Macie Banks is a Georgia girl through-and-through, but you may be surprised to learn that she didn't grow up belting out what you probably consider the "classics." It was the Rascal Flatts album in her Easter basket in middle school that opened her eyes to a whole new world. By that time, she already knew she had loved the camera (and the microphone), but over time, she found her passion. Catch Macie Banks (that's Macie with an i e) weekdays 12 pm – 4 pm ET on the Highway!

Al’s first radio station was a Mr. Microphone set to broadcast to the *entire* Skop house. Let’s just say on SiriusXM he covers a bit more ground. Al is into hiking and biking and loves our country’s National Parks, which he’s  been checking off with his family over the last few years.
