Biography / Administrative History Jeff Hughson was born in Sacramento in 1950 and graduated from Sacramento High School in 1968 and shortly thereafter joined the staff of KZAP, Sacramento’s first freeform rock music radio station, which began broadcasting on November 8, 1968. After two and half years as music director and DJ at KZAP, Hughson left the station in 1971 to work as a DJ at Sacramento FM radio stations KNDE, KSFM, and KXOA-FM. In 1974, he left KXOA to work at a variety of jobs, producing concerts, fairs, and festivals, and serving as the entertainment director for the Contra Costa County Fair. Hughson also worked as a record collector and dealer, running a mail order house and trading company. In 1989, Hughson teamed with Guide to the Jeff Hughson MS 67 2 collection musician Bob Cheevers to create the Bob Cheevers Sacramento Songwriters Showcase, with Hughson as promoter and thematic director and Cheevers as host and talent coordinator. The Bob Cheevers Sacramento Songwriters Showcase ended in 1991, and in 2000, Hughson and partners Dennis Newhall and Martin DeAnda started Dig Music, a record label devoted to making available previously unreleased music by Northern California artists, primarily from the 1960s and 1970s.
