FameRank: 4

"Eddie Stubbs" is a radio disc jockey broadcasting old-style country music on WSM (AM)/WSM, a radio station with a nighttime Clear-channel station/clear channel signal broadcast from Nashville, Tennessee, USA. He is also one of two regular announcers for the long-running Grand Ole Opry carried on WSM on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday nights.

He is on the air on weekday evenings from 7 pm to midnight, Central Time, on WSM. WSM's powerful nighttime clear channel signal allows WSM to be heard in a large part of the US and Canada. As a result, Stubbs has many regular listeners in all parts of the US and Canada in areas far away from Nashville.

A fifth-generation resident of Montgomery County, Maryland, he graduated from Gaithersburg (Maryland) High School and became a fiddle player with a traditional Bluegrass music/bluegrass band, The Johnson Mountain Boys. After a decade, the band split up and Stubbs has only played sporadically since.
