Cumulus Media Alternative WKQX (Q101)/Chicago middayer Lauren O’Neil kicks off a celebration of “Women’s History Month” today (3/3) with a daily weekday special featuring the female artists who shape the sound of Q101 sharing their personal stories and musical journeys. The month-long weekday Q101 music special airs at noon (CT) and airs through March 31st. Artists featured will include Anne Clarke of St. Vincent, Shirley Manson of Garbage, Amy Lee of Evanescence, and Lili Trifilio of Beach Bunny.

“I am always grateful for the opportunity to honor, amplify and celebrate the incredible Women Who Make Q101,” said Lauren O’Neil. “These women inspired me to get into radio and continue to inspire me every day. Join me every weekday at Noon Central as we celebrate the music, talent, art, tenacity, and impact of the icons who have blazed the path from the beginning and those who continue to carry the torch today, culminating in a multi-hour special on the last day of Women’s History Month. Stream from anywhere in the world at Q101.com!”

Q101 Director Of Content and Programming James Kurdziel said, “The best part of this month-long tribute for me is that I get a front row seat to hear Lauren O’Neil, who is synonymous with modern rock in Chicago, as she pays tribute to the iconic women who have shaped our brand and our format. This is born, planned and executed solely from Lauren’s passion for the Women Who Make Q101.”
