Night of Contemporary Music

Mark Gilmore
98 Rock Local Licks host Mark Gilmore has worked as producer, and now host, of the longest-running local-music showcase in Sacramento, Local Licks, for the past seven years. Mark has worked hard to bring unity to the Sacramento music scene and has encouraged bands to reach out for their goals. Through his involvement with Local Licks and the Sacramento Rocks CD series, he feels it is his duty to help local artists achieve their dreams and to do what he can to have Sacramento looked upon as a Mecca of music and entertainment. Part of this includes giving back to the community. This year, Mark rallied together several local bands to perform on-air acoustic performances to raise money for the UC Davis Children’s Hospital. Local Licks airs on KRXQ 98 Rock every Sunday night at 10:00 p.m.



Hill Jordan
Let Hill be the first to explain to you the difference between DJ and radio personality: “I don’t know the first thing about spinning, but I sure as hell know how to act like a dork in public.” There it is, folks. Hill will be doing her best renditions of dork among the jams during our Night of Contemporary Music. She is willing to accept bribes of Tootsie Rolls, pinot noir, and Pet Shop Boys’ Discography, and can be heard on air every weekday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on KWOD 106.5.
