John Chacona

As a journalist, I’ve written event previews, features and criticism for the Erie Times-News and other regional Gannett newspapers and in the Chautauquan Daily. My magazine features and profiles have been published in Lake Erie LifeStyle, CODA, Signal to Noise and Erie & Chautauqua magazines, the latter of which I served as an editor, and in online music journals AllAboutJazz.com and PostGenre. I was a host on NPR affiliate WQLN-FM’s long-running All That Jazz program and was producer and host of my own two-hour program After Hours. For several magical years, I served as onstage host at Erie’s Blues & Jazz Festival, the best gig imaginable. I’m also a graduate of The Land’s Community Journalism class.
