About the Show

Classic Rock U is merges Classic Rock hits with Adam’s captivating interviews, connecting Rock ‘N’ Roll’s biggest fans and the greatest talents of all time on one united platform.
Adam Reader has been interviewing artists for over 10 years, with nearly 700 in-depth interviews from legendary talents including Journey, Heart, Def Leppard, the Doobie Brothers, Foreigner, Sammy Hagar, and his lifelong hero, Brian Wilson. Reader’s passion developed from stories shared by his father, Steve, about his favorite songs, and he eventually turned his passion into the daily YouTube show, Professor of Rock. He was given his Professor title by the Beach Boys, which quickly stuck with additional artists after they witnessed the heart and soul of music and storytelling that was showcased in his interviews. Outside of his obsession with all things music, Reader loves collecting vinyl and rock t-shirts, biking, reading, discovering new restaurants and spending time with his wife, Leslie, and their four children.
