Steven Kapp Perry
Steve is an award-winning songwriter, playwright, and broadcaster from Provo, Utah. He has written for National Geographic Children’s Television, Prime Recordings, and other companies, and two of his stage musicals have appeared on local PBS television.
He announces Morning Classics on Classical 89 KBYU FM 89.1 and for BYUradio.org is the host of the live music performance show “Highway 89,” and is the host and producer of the new show “In Good Faith,” celebrating the power of faith and belief, Sundays at 10 AM and 4PM.
Steve’s earliest Christmas memories include his 2 parents, 3 siblings, and a dog all crammed into the front seat of the family station wagon so they could spend Christmas with cousins. He remembers wondering what all the stuff was under blankets in the rest of the car.
The joy of Christmas for Steve has always been found in the wonderful music, and in the Christmas story. He enjoys singing Christmas carols in Shepherds Field in Bethlehem every February when he guides tours to Israel for Morris Murdock tours.
Steven and his wife Johanne love music, history, travel, cream cheese on bagels, and whichever of their four college-age children has a current scholarship.
