The Hurricane
DJ
Hugh Carson, aka "The Hurricane" moved back with spouse Maggie to the North Fork in 2004, having left in '79 so that Hugh could pursue a career in wildland fire fighting, a journey that led them to Grand Junction, Salt Lake, Reno, and Boise. His two wonderful grown daughters were subjected to massive doses of Van The Man and Miles during their formative years, but successfully maintained allegiance to The Beastie Boys and Beck. Music is The Hurricane's passion. His signature shows consisting of an eclectica of blues, funk, electronica, world beat, jazz, soul, and zydeco. Shows typically start out at 300 knots (a "HurricaneHotStart") and they don't get any slower. Hence "The Hurricane."
Though "retired" since 2000, The Hurricane still does air operations on wildfires, floods, hurricanes, and the like. "I got the best of both worlds," he says. "A few weeks out in the so-called chaos world, then back to the beautiful quiet high lonesome outside of Crawford. "
"And the privilege of being a KVNF DJ, sittin' there in the Joe Cocker Studio, puttin' out the beautiful sounds of genius musicians, it don' get no better than that." Hurricane's scheduled shows are Gumbo Ya-Ya (2nd Friday 10:00 a.m.), Soul System (1st and 3rd Thursday 7:00 pm); Turn It Up (3rd Saturday at 7:00 pm), and Cookin' With Jazz (4th Friday 7:00 pm).

Keep it real, it'll keep ya' alive.
Gumbo Ya Ya
True jumpin' juke joint cajun zydeco musique, tinged with a whole lotta soul and blues from New Orleans, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, and beyond. This is one of KVNF's gems of a hard-drivin' full-tilt boogie show. Proudly brought to you by Father of Gumbo Thomas Smith, The Emperor, and the Hurricane.
Turn it Up!
TIU remains one of KVNF's most popular programs, with DJs amplitude, Geitz Romo, the Hurricane, and Todd & Cynthia providing the entire spectrum of listening pleasure. Ranging from rock to reggae to hard-drivin' shoutin' blues to jazz, Turn It Up is one of the best musical experiences you’ll ever have. The show can go from mellow to high-energy and back again in a flash. Join us wherever the beat takes us!!
Cookin' with Jazz
Jazz from A to Z and beyond, with sounds that range from down-in-the-basement mellow to transgalactic genius. Young Christie starts the month off with shows that sparkle they're so good. Geitz Romo with his encyclopedic knowledge always puts it down right, often on precious vinyl. The Hurricane defines the word JazzEclectica. Nolan Lightfoot, a Rahsaan and Sun Ra admirer, always puts down some mighty fine shows of seamless beauty. Yeah, jazz.
