Tuesday 10pm-12am
On March 31st, 2026 Al Perry signed off from hosting the (World-Famous) Clambake. Al’s show was a unique creature in the world of music. Tuning in on Tuesday nights you knew you were in for a couple of hours of special Arizona tracks, international gems, and sonic surprises along with always interesting commentary. His voice and stories will be missed but you can look forward to hearing Al sit in on other KXCI shows as a guest host. Thanks for tunes Al!
Here’s a statement from Al Perry himself:
Way back at the beginning of time (that is, the internet), I started a KXCI program, The (World-Famous) Clambake. This was 1998, and I have continued with it until now, where I am one of the station’s old-timers!
I was a youngster then, full of vim and vigor, and hope and positivity. Now, I’m an embittered old man, hunched over and grumbling about the good old days. Haw Phaw! Just kidding. Music has always kept me young at heart. Seriously, though, the time has come for me to retire the show. It has been a blast for me to share the sounds, especially the historic Arizona music I love. I like to think that I’ve educated as well as entertained.
God bless Link Wray, Brian Wilson, Kevin Daly, Joe Bussard, Billy Maxwell and many, many other greats too numerous to list here. If you listened, then you know. Huge thanks to the KXCI staffers, volunteers, and listeners for the support. And a big shout-out to the unofficial Arizona music historian, John P. Dixon. Check out azmusicdude.com.
Thank you Al Perry for all the Arizona Roots Rock, Classic Vinyl and Surf.
