Jon Solomon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jon Solomon (April 19, 1973 – ) is a DJ at WPRB in Princeton, New Jersey. He has been on the air since 1988 and is perhaps best known for his annual 24-hour Christmas radio show, which is in its 20th year.
Solomon's weekly three-hour radio program can be heard every Wednesday evening from 7:00 pm ET until 10:00 pm ET at 103.3 FM WPRB and WPRB.com. Each week's show features a live performance, and more than 150 bands have appeared on this show since 2001. Philebrity called Solomon "the closest thing the Philly indie rock scene has to a John Peel."
Solomon hosts the Philadelphia City Paper podcast "Local Support," a program that features the music of artists from the Delaware Valley, and is the founding editor of the Princeton Basketball News, a Web site about the Princeton University men's basketball team.
Solomon's record label, My Pal God Records, has put out recordings by Silkworm, The Embarrassment, The French Kicks, Ex Models, Del Rey, Paul Newman, and TW Walsh.
