Mary Lucia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mary Lucia (born August 6, 1969 in Newton, Massachusetts) is an on-air radio personality who currently hosts a weekday drive time music show for the Minnesota Public Radio station 89.3 The Current in St. Paul, Minnesota. Lucia is the younger sister of The Replacements front man Paul Westerberg[1].

Lucia began broadcasting on Minnesota's Rev 105, where she hosted both a shift of regular programming and the local music show "Something Else" (named after a song by local band Kruddler[1]).

After Disney purchased Rev 105 and switched its format to Zone 105, Lucia maintained her dual role as host of a regular dayshift as well as a local show called 'Popular Creeps' (named after a song by former Replacements drummer Chris Mars) [2]. After Steve Nelson left the morning show that he co-hosted with Brian Oake, Lucia was paired with Oake for morning drive time.

When Disney changed the format again to rhythmic oldies, the entire air staff, including Lucia, was fired. Lucia went on to host programs on AM 1500 and KLBB before being picked up by Minnesota Public Radio in January 2005. [3]

Lucia has also appeared in commercials, live theater productions, and the indie film The Last Word (2003).[4]
