If there's one country artist who is on a steep upward trajectory, it's Kaylyn Sahs. One listen through her catalog demonstrates steady growth in her vocal and songwriting abilities. She's a young woman whose original songs are able to touch a wide demographic since a lot of what she writes is so relatable. A 2018 audition for American Idol got her the boost in confidence she needed to pursue music as a career and her parents are her biggest supporters taking on management, booking, and logistics duties. Kaylyn's faith is the greatest factor in her life for keeping it all real and her music serves to show what flows from her heart.

THE TOURMALINERS return with "El Gato" which just might be their best album yet! Text us about this show.

It's rare these days that an artist or band releases a full album that is a great listen all the way through. In 2025 Los Straitjackets did it with Somos Los Straitjackets and now The Tourmaliners are set to drop their new album El Gato and it's one of the best complete surf albums I've ever heard. The entire album takes you back to the golden age of early 1960s surf guitar with all the great subgenres and associated themes that made—and still make—surf music unique and yet accessible to just about everyone. We debut a number of songs from El Gato and we dig into how it was recorded with Deven, Joe, John, and Matt. Enjoy!

Matthew is the publisher of Colorado Instrumental Fanzine which debuted in 2023. CI Fanzine is one of the best surf music magazines around and has garnered the praise of fans and artists alike. In the three years of its existence, Matthew has grown the business into music distribution so surf artists have an advocate for their music in the marketplace.

According to their website, "Gold Standard is an all original progressive bluegrass band with heavy influences of soul, jazz, and folk." One listen to their EP, Better Than These Days, will bear that out. Kate Stenson, Ian Moore, Gregg Daigle, and Loren Dempster are taking traditional bluegrass sensibilities and layering on their influences from other genres in some very imaginative ways. What this means is that those who might not otherwise listen to bluegrass might find something new and fresh to dial their ears into. Gold Standard is bringing bluegrass to an entirely new level.

As a musician, there are two words that come to mind about Ryan Pearl: thoughtful and adaptive. He's thoughtful because what he brings to a song is expressive and intentional with generous amounts of feeling. He's adaptive because over the decades he's taken to instruments new to him and been put in situations where his chops are counted on sometimes in the spur of the moment. He's well versed in a number of genres and whatever the scenario calls for, Ryan delivers. He's the "sixth member" of The Willy Porter Band and could very well be the secret sauce of The Willy Porter Quartet. We have tracks by both bands to show just how Ryan is an important and valued component in both. Enjoy!

He's also one of the friendliest guys you could ever meet. His boundless energy and enthusiasm permeates everything he's involved in. The music he makes with Slack Key ’Ohana is a wonderful mix of Hawaiian slack key and mainland Americana that goes down as easy as a Mai Tai. Enjoy this fun and lively discussion with Brian Witkin.

There's something to be said for a studio that consistently turns out clean, high quality recordings. Behind such an operation is usually a producer/engineer who understands not just the recording process, but musicians and what they are aiming to convey through their original music. SourceTrack Studio in Appleton, Wisconsin is that kind of studio and David Pietila is that owner/producer/engineer. David has received praise from those he has worked with at SourceTrack and from those who have heard his top notch work. On this episode we have a good sampling of tracks he has produced at SourceTrack along with the studio's history, capabilities, and a little bit about classic cars tossed in for good measure. Enjoy!

After nearly three years, country singer Roger Lee returns to Into The Music to share some stories from the road and a pair of new original songs. Roger was Rob's first guest on Into The Music in early August, 2023, so we thought it was about time to catch up with him. Like a good whiskey, his wonderful smooth baritone has aged extremely well (just as smooth too!) and he's taken his songwriting up a good notch or two as well. Join us as we reconnect with Roger Lee.

Stick Men month on Into The Music concludes this week with Touch Guitarist Markus Reuter. Markus is an accomplished musician and composer who is equally at home delving into contemporary classical music, jazz, progressive rock, folk, and ambient music. His Touch Guitar brings an emotional element to much of the music he plays whether that be with Stick Men, solo, Tu:Ner (also with Pat Mastelotto and former King Crimson member Trey Gunn), and multiple collaborations he's been a part of over his career. Markus has a unique but understandable approach to music and when you hear him talk about it, you feel invited in to join him on his musical journey. On this episode of Into The Music you can do just that. Enjoy!

It's Stick Men month on Into The Music! We have a set of three interviews with each member of this trio and we're starting them with drummer Pat Mastelotto. Not only has Pat been the drummer for Stick Men for nearly two decades, but he's the longest tenured drummer in the history of legendary prog rock band King Crimson. In the 1980s, he was the drummer for Mr. Mister when they were at their peak with the hits "Kyrie" and "Broken WIngs." His studio session work landed him on a plethora of albums and singles including "I'll Be There For You" (the theme from Friends) by the Rembrandts, XTC's Oranges and Lemons, and releases by Hall & Oates, The Pointer Sisters, Al Jarreau, Scandal, and more. This is one you don't want to miss!

Based in landlocked Colorado Springs, CO, they look to the past, add a dash of this or that genre, and create fresh surf sounds that you'd swear came right out of southern California.

Jake Gill is a country artist not to be ignored. His love of country music came by way of working on his grandfather's farm where he heard it on the radio. He heard all the "olds," but then Garth Brooks came along to change the game and it became something Jake needed to dive into. After fifteen years in his own chiropractic practice, he found himself on NBC's The Voice with Blake Shelton as his mentor and made his way into the finals. He released his first album in 2012 and has kept the music coming ever since. Not only does he love music, he loves his fellow man and his desire to help people—especially veterans—is extraordinary. He's an artist with a lot of heart and ton of music and love in that heart.

From his first album, Restart (2021), to his solo acoustic sophomore effort, A Story I Can't Tell (2023), through the nine singles he's dropped since, Michael's growth and maturity as a songwriter is all on display. Those nine singles are combined with three new tracks for a new album called The Rock Garden Recordings and it's Michael's best collection of songs to date. Every song is performed by the trio of Michael on vocals and acoustic guitar, drummer Ric "Spatula" Armstrong, and Rock Garden Studio producer Marc Golde on everything else. Now Michael has assembled The Ghosts of Electricity, his band that brings these gems to the stage and they more than do these songs justice. Enjoy this special interview that includes a segment recorded at the album release gig at Appleton's Gibson Community Music Hall.

Both songs on this show were contributed by and used with the permission of Michael Grabner.

"Wherever You Are" and "Going Nowhere" written and performed by Michael Grabner
℗ 2026 Michael Grabner.

Becca Murray just doesn't have a good appreciation of the music she plays—she understands it. After stints in synth-pop band Ultra Key and rockin' out with 90-Proof, she's gone solo (well, in a manner of speaking) with her first EP. Skating By contains six well crafted original indie pop songs that display writing and playing chops that most first efforts lack. Becca writes from her own point of view as a woman in her upper twenties, but her lyrics will connect with a broad variety of listeners from all walks of life. The music is well done filled with hooks and melodies that are memorable. And live? Becca brings the goods to every performance whether that be with her band, The Wildflowers, or fronting the classic rock cover band Atomic Blonde. Writer, vocalist, guitarist... Becca is an artist to pay attention to.

BONUS! This show contains a special exclusive performance by Becca of her song, "Lost."

There are some bands that come along and you can't help get excited about them. Grackles from Austin, TX is one of those bands.

Frontman Noah Lit is on hand this episode to tell us all about Grackles, how they get their rootsy, organic sound, and how being based in Austin has opened up myriads of musical possibilities for them.

Gale Bird is the trio of husband and wife Joshua and Melissa Gale and friend Sean Monahan. Hailing from Charleston, SC, they combine lots of stacked vocal harmonies and southern grit with a lot of heart in their uplifting original songs. Their influences are quite varied and include the Eagles, Led Zeppelin, Rascal Flatts, Need To Breathe, Coldplay, and Alan Jackson. Along with those there are shades of jazz, soul, and straight up rock and roll in their music. They say they're "reshaping alternative country" and when you listen to their originals, you know they're only getting started. For Gale Bird, it's faith and being honest about their convictions that has them soaring in the Charleston music scene.

Anthony Nix is not a country musician. He's a country artist. He works his craft and shares his heart through the majority of his songs. He works hard to deliver original and honest performances both in the studio and on stage. He's diligent at what he does because he knows it doesn't just mean something to him, but to his fans. He's uncompromising about laying out who he is as a musician and as a person. Although he spends time in and around Nashville, he's proud to be rooted in the Wisconsin music scene and it's evident in original songs like "Around Here." Anthony's original music has two foundations—country and honesty—and it makes for one heck of a listen. Find out why on this episode of Into The Music!

To say Miles Nielsen has seen and experienced a lot over his three decade career in music would be an understatement. Let's cut to the chase... when your dad is Rick Nielsen, guitarist for Cheap Trick, you get inspired to follow in his footsteps but you do it your way. Miles has done just that. Over his three decade career he not only has grown as a music maker, but as a devoted husband, father, and friend. He's gone through the heartache of losing one of his closest friends and musical partners to cancer. He's played the roles of a support player and leader in bands that garnered national attention. Yet he remains grounded knowing he's fortunate to be making music with people he loves. Listen to Miles's story, his music, and even a little nugget that bridges generations.

There are singer-songwriters and then there is Mathew Haeffel. It is truly hard to pin the singer-songwriter label on him because his original compositions go well beyond what you'd expect from an artist in that genre. Mathew is a songsmith who creates music in a way that a visual artist might create a striking painting. He specializes in juxtaposition, combining dark and light elements that contrast each other whether that be in his lyrics, instrumentation, or both. Often you will hear him sing pensive words over a lively beat, but listeners are often left with a bit of encouragement because of the way Mathew is able to bring the light out of the dark in his songs. A truly unique artist that is worth discovering.

Patrick Zyduck, also known as Elysian Stew, is a finger style guitarist who writes in the moment. The bulk of his originals are instrumentals that paint soundscapes that draw in and envelop the listener with rich acoustic textures and moods. His inspirations for writing range from a rain storm to owls to backpacking on Mount Rainier. On top of that, he is an avid cyclist and knows firsthand how physical activity and musicianship work with each other to improve one's playing. His style draws on past guitarists like Merle Travis and Chet Atkins as influences, but also acknowledges current artists like Kaki King, Mike Dawes, and Gwenifer Raymond. It's time to get lost in the soundscapes of Elysian Stew!

To say that The Mascot Theory created their new album, Cosmic Hit and Run, under pressure would be an understatement. They set out to create a concept album about helplessness, loss, grief, healing, and hope and in the process they lived it all. The finished product is nothing short of brilliant. Although each song can stand on its own, within the narrative of Cosmic Hit and Run they make for an incredible listen from beginning to end both musically and lyrically. Taking what they learned from working with producer Terry Manning and building on that, they have released what could be their—dare I say it?—masterpiece. Cosmic Hit and Run isn't just an album, it's a journey—one that you'll want to repeat often.

This episode features an Into The Music first! Part of this show is an on stage interview with the band recorded at the Cosmic Hit and Run release gig in front of a live audience at Gibson Community Music Hall in Appleton, WI on October 3, 2025.

It's pretty clear when you listen to Tim Case's music that his Wisconsin roots go deep into his soul. Many of his songs have at least references to people or places around the state, but they serve as devices to tell a narrative rather than promote Wisconsin outright. It's just what he knows through his life experiences and observations, so he weaves these elements into his thoughtful lyrics. His 2025 release, Hall of Mirrors, is an album that is influenced by artists like Bob Dylan and John Prine with a sound not unlike albums produced by Daniel Lanois. Call it atmospheric Americana if you like. Tim is creating some beautiful music and using it to give a down-to-earth observations of life.

The Tunes came on the scene only two years ago in 2023. From the start, this band was put together to be something bigger than the sum of its parts. Woodie Larsen (guitar), Jon Wheelock (vocals, bass), and Adam Hatton (drums) are the nucleus of The Tunes and when playing live they include players like Joe Sly (keys), Tyler VanderHeiden (bass), Malakai Flynn (guitar), and Jordan Miles (keys, bass). This band has a lot of fun doing what they do and the proof is in their music. Combining elements of 1960s soul, funk, classic rock, and a healthy dose of the 90s, The Tunes' sound is unique and riveting and leaves audiences wanting more.

Into The Music listeners are by now well acquainted with San Diego's award winning surf band, The Tourmaliners. Guitarist Deven Berryhill returns to the podcast to talk about a special retro-styled single they've recorded with vocalist Kela Sako. When we say retro-styled, we're not kidding! Two songs—Rosie and the Originals' "Angel Baby" from 1960 and Kyu Sakamoto's "Sukiyaki" from 1961—, 7-inch vinyl, 45 RPM. Want more retro? The 1955 Fender Telecaster used on the original "Angel Baby" is on this new version. More? How about an homage to those great AM radio DJs who spun these 45s? It's all here with the charm, warmth, and character of those great classic singles. And we have the world premiere of "Angel Baby" right here!

The Swongos (Thomas Mangelsen - guitar, Lisa Mangelsen - bass, Brian Liggett - drums) are a surf band from NW Wisconsin (what?!) with a twist. Make that many twists. The foundation of their music is surf, but from there they add layers of exotica, spy, psychedelic rock, metal, alternative, and even jazz (thanks to vibes player Thomas Mattioli) for sonic creations that can be described best by just looking at their album cover art. The colors, textures, and shades that inhabit their original instrumentals is unique and will have you becoming the titular Curious Tourist from their first release.

Meet The Seavers is perhaps the most unique musical act in NE Wisconsin and the bio on their website states They don't fit in and they like it that way. Their music has been dubbed "New Avant Garde Swing" and when you give it a listen you understand almost immediately why. However, that description doesn't mean it isn't accessible to the general listening public. Jace K. and Dorothy G. Seavers have crafted an act that's equal parts jazz, swing, Vaudeville, rockabilly, spacey, and humor. They're set apart by just about every aspect that makes them Meet The Seavers and it's a refreshing change of pace for those that have discovered them. Do yourself a favor and discover them too!

Steve March-Tormé and Michael Murphy return to Into The Music to introduce you to the title character of their new album, Dalton Diamond. This is an album just over four decades in the making having originated in a West Los Angeles bedroom as the idea of Steve along with his friend, Craig Copeland. In the mid 1980s, nine of the album's were written by Steve and Craig and two additional songs that round out the narrative were written forty years later by Steve and Michael. The feel of the album harkens back to the 1970s southern California country rock of the Eagles, J.D. Souther, Jackson Browne, and The Flying Burrito Brothers to name a handful of Dalton's influences. This episode serves as a preview of the album and Steve and Michael throw in a live performance for good measure. Enjoy!

There's no shortage of talent when it comes to jazz in NE Wisconsin and The Chalk Down Trio is proof of that. Guitarist Alec Riegsecker, bassist Andrew Wilson, and drummer Ryan Thomas are three very talented young men that have jelled together to make music that bridges the jazz and funk realms. What makes them the musicians they are is their willingness to be open to what older, more seasoned jazzers in the area have to say and learn from them. It doesn't hurt that they also pick up bits and pieces from the other bands they play in and let that inform The Chalk Down Trio's style. This is one jazz combo you'll want to pay attention to.

In the Wisconsin music scene, Ben Mulwana is as unique as they come. His roots are in Uganda and you hear those roots in much of his music, however the soulful and heartfelt delivery of his songs will have most listeners captivated. To call Ben a singer-songwriter is almost too little. He's an expressive artist who draws on both the commonalities and differences in culture to create songs that listeners will probably agree they can identify with. Love, loss, and healing are common themes in Ben's lyrics and the spaces between the three are where a lot of his songs come from. You're invited to settle in and get to know this wonderful artist, Ben Mulwana.

Love, loss, and healing are common themes in Ben's lyrics and the spaces between the three are where a lot of his songs come from. You're invited to settle in and get to know this wonderful artist, Ben Mulwana.

Greg Koch is undeniably one of the best guitarists on the planet today.

His knowledge of guitars and who knows how many influential guitarists from a breadth of genres is deep. Very deep. His videos on YouTube, especially the ones he does for Wildwood Guitars, aren't just jaw droppingly good for his playing (with some gristle, of course), but they come with a good dose of humor that pulls you in even further. Most of all, Greg is genuine. The guy you'll hear in this episode is the same here, on social media, and when you see him live. Get ready to be blown away by the one and only Greg Koch!

One can't overstate how important Marc Golde and Rock Garden Studio have been not just to the NE Wisconsin music scene, but to the state scene overall. Marc has garnered multiple WAMI Awards over the years as a producer, musician, and studio owner and all are well deserved. He has rightfully earned the praise of countless musicians who have had the good fortune to record at Rock Garden, share a stage with him, or simply because he is who he is: genuine. After three decades of recording excellence, Marc is pulling the faders down on Rock Garden Studio, moving on to new challenges, and returning to an old flame (i.e. writing music). Rock Garden might be three decades old, but its story goes back farther than that, so join us for a bit of history and to find out what the future holds for Marc Golde.

She made a statement immediately in 2018 with her dance single "Delusional" and from there she migrated into pop-tinged country where she really found her voice. After a strong showing in 2022 with her album Yes You Can, she's ready to drop "Largo" with Mike Nash, a fun and flirty single that will put a smile on plenty of faces.

Carmen Nickerson isn't one to sit back and let the opportunities life presents pass her by especially when those opportunities include music. From a young age growing up in a musical family on a farm in Iowa, Carmen had a love for making music. These days she's doing it as a member of the Willy Porter Band, in the duo of Porter Nickerson, fronting her own Carmen Sutra Band, and singing with the accompaniment of Kostia. In 2023 she released her first solo album, Room To Grow, which is a rich tapestry of original songs along with a cover or two that show off Carmen's ability to deliver great interpretations of other's tunes. Her midwestern roots and ethic are a big part of everything she does. Take some time and get to know Carmen Nickerson and her music.

Keyboardist. Band leader. Vocalist. Writer. Arranger. Sideman. Session player. Author. Humorist. Dave Adler is all of these and he's having a ton of fun doing it all. If anything, Dave expresses his joy through his music whether that be performing live or recording a session in the studio. On this episode of Into The Music, you get to hear him not just talk about that joy and the fun he has entertaining people, but you hear how it informs his music and his life. Take in a gig by Steely Dane and Dave will have you at the intro of the first song. Listen to an instrumental duet of him with Willy Porter and you sense it from both of them.

Jason Reisdorf is a brilliant musician. One listen to his two bands, Natural Satellite and Son Reis Project, bears this out. Natural Satellite is a duo with his wife, Karli, who is a cellist and vocalist. They write and perform laid back, jazzy originals that are creative and introspective. Then there's Son Reis Project (SRP), a trio with Jason Goessl on guitar/bass and Ryan Thomas on drums. SRP has both jazz and heavy metal as its foundations and from there it's an experiment in sound that is indescribable. But with Jason as the constant between the two, one thing that's for certain is that both will be interesting. Listen to this episode and find out for yourself.

When creating Outhouse Radio in 2020, Al Lockwood had one rule: break the rules of radio. Being a thirty year radio veteran, his aim was to create a unique radio station that did more than play the top forty and read the weather report. Outhouse Radio doesn't only play today's music, but music from a variety of genres and artists from over the past sixty years! Add on top of that a good variety of programs (including Into The Music!) and personalities and you have one very interesting radio station. But why stop there? Al is a serious supporter of local music scenes all over the world and he's committed to letting these artists shine on Outhouse Radio. Interesting and unique. Who could ask for more?

Want to get your music on Outhouse Radio? Send Al an artist bio, photo, links to your socials, and your music at onair@outhouseradio.com.

When creating Outhouse Radio in 2020, Al Lockwood had one rule: break the rules of radio. Being a thirty year radio veteran, his aim was to create a unique radio station that did more than play the top forty and read the weather report. Outhouse Radio doesn't only play today's music, but music from a variety of genres and artists from over the past sixty years! Add on top of that a good variety of programs (including Into The Music!) and personalities and you have one very interesting radio station. But why stop there? Al is a serious supporter of local music scenes all over the world and he's committed to letting these artists shine on Outhouse Radio. Interesting and unique. Who could ask for more?

Want to get your music on Outhouse Radio? Send Al an artist bio, photo, links to your socials, and your music at onair@outhouseradio.com.

Sisters Rissel and Yaina Peguero-Almonte and guitarist Matt Hillman are here to talk about how Pegasis melds together their various influences into some of northeast Wisconsin's most vibrant and eclectic music. Pegasis is one of the most highly regarded bands in the local scene and once you hear them you'll know why.

"Still" and "Refresh" performed by Pegasis

Kurt Gunn is at the top of his game as a singer-songwriter, performer, and recording artist. Even though he won the 2024 WAMI Award for Album of the Year, he's not willing to rest on his past work preferring to explore avenues in music that make him grow as an artist. On September 26, Kurt will be dropping two albums. Not a double album, but TWO separate albums of all new original music that might just be the best material he's served up to date. South Facing is a warm, introspective solo acoustic album recorded by Marc Golde the old fashioned way—to tape. North Facing is the first ever all electric album by The Kurt Gunn Band and it simply does not disappoint. Listen as Kurt, Marc, the band, and special guests Ann Koenig and Brad Bordini give us the scoop about the new music from Kurt Gunn.

Advance tickets for The Kurt Gunn Band's album release gig on September 26, 2024 at Gibson Community Music Hall can be purchased at https://gibsonmusichall.com.

Dave Schoepke is one talented guy. He's a drummer who composes songs for drums and creates some interesting and innovative albums comprised of these songs. On top of that he is the other half of Willy Porter's rhythm section (along with bassist Eric Madunic) and he's an accomplished drum teacher who has his methods published by Hal Leonard Publishing. He's drummed behind Jethro Tull guitarist Martin Barre and more recently found himself pounding the skins in US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis as part of Sundown47 opening for Zach Bryan. You'd think this would expand one's ego, but hardly so with Dave. He simply enjoys drumming and sharing what he has to offer through his albums, performances, and teaching.

Eric Madunic is simply an incredible musician and human being. He's the bassist behind Wisconsin music legend Willy Porter and in the fantastic blues informed band, Blind Fiction. Eric has some seriously great bass chops and has several WAMI Awards and nominations to back up that claim. His goal with his music isn't to be famous, but to be heard enhancing the arrangements of the songs written by his bandmates. He plays for the enjoyment music brings him and those who hear the bands he's a part of. Combine that with his humble spirit and outright kindness, you have a bandmate that you can count on not just to hold down the low end, but as a friend.

Imagine a point where Metallica, Queen, The Black Keys, Foxy Shazam, Meatloaf and others intersect. Now stop imagining because that point exists with TUK. Andrew, Allen, Michael, and Ty pull from all of these influences (and keep adding more!) to create a sound unique not just in the local music scene in NE Wisconsin, but in the state. Their latest album, Confrontations, was three years in the making and is powerful and downright cinematic in scope. These guys aren't a one trick pony either as their acoustic performances are every bit as powerful as when they're plugged in. So turn it up because here's TUK!

Phil Tittle is a guitarist/singer/songwriter with a passion to serve. He served his country for twenty years in the US Air Force, but during that time a guitar was never far away from his hands. After retiring from the USAF, he served veterans by starting a chapter of Guitars For Vets. He also served beginning musicians by establishing a school where they could learn songwriting and guitar. These days he's serving up some great original songs and we're premiering one of them on this show. Phil grew up in Georgia, so a number of southern based artists like the Allman Brothers Band, Waylon Jennings, and Tom Petty have influenced his music, but he has a style all his own. Let's just say Phil's serving up music that's both familiar and fresh.

These days he's serving up some great original songs and we're premiering one of them on this show. Phil grew up in Georgia, so a number of southern based artists like the Allman Brothers Band, Waylon Jennings, and Tom Petty have influenced his music, but he has a style all his own. Let's just say Phil's serving up music that's both familiar and fresh.

NOTE: A portion of this show deals with traumatic brain injury and includes graphic details. Discretion is advised.

Zach Fell loves Wisconsin music so much that he created, produces, and hosts the Wisconsin Music Podcast which is "amplifying Wisconsin musicians." Like Into The Music, Zach uses WMP to expose local artists to a wider audience literally the world over.

So get to know Zach here and then make it a point to catch him on the Wisconsin Music Podcast!

The Mile of Music festival has been mentioned numerous times on Into The Music, it's time we talk in depth about it with its creator and curator, Dave Willems!

Music fans from here in northeast Wisconsin to just about everywhere in the USA (and probably the world!) know about the Mile of Music festival—four days of original music in early August from independent artists from a wide variety of genres. Dave Willems not only is the creator and curator of "The Mile," he's the owner of Appleton's premiere music venue, the Gibson Community Music Hall. Although the festival is only days in length, its spirit is carried throughout the year at Gibson with regular concerts and events that are in one way or another tied to Mile of Music. Dave is here to tell us how the two go hand-in-hand and what fans can expect at this year's Mile #11 taking place August 1-4.

Brandon VanDalen is Strategic. That's not just the name he records and performs under, that's his life credo. He is strategic in the way he writes some of the best pop music you'll hear these days. He has a great ear for hooks and his songs are filled with them. Since 2010, Strategic has released not only several incredible pop albums, but a pair of well received Christmas albums and the first half of a project aimed at children that's so good parents will want to listen to it too. The combination of Strategic's hooks and positive lyrics are infectious and something we can all use to lift us up.

The Rezzonators are a band out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin who at first glance you might think is simply your basic rock & roll band, but that's where you'd be wrong. All you have to do is give a listen to their album Dream River & Other Tales of Adventure to get the bigger picture. Each member of the band brings something unique to the mix and makes them much more than what you might expect. Yes, they can rock out and when they do, you wanna crank it. But as you listen, the depth of their skills and talents is revealed in both songwriting and performance and you'll find yourself going back for listen after listen.

Eric Hagen is more than a country artist. He writes and records songs that are country on the surface, but underneath there's a whole lot of soul. The musics of the south—country, soul, gospel, blues—tend to blend with each other very well and Eric has tapped into that. On top of the soulful foundation he lays, the lyrics of his songs are stories and well worth a good listen. He takes a less-is-more approach to recording so his listeners don't just hear whatever he can pack into his songs but rather listen to the stories put to music that is emotionally stirring. A review by Americana UK once said his music is "emotionally challenging and beautiful," a statement that couldn't be any more true. It's time to get acquainted with the challenging and beautiful music of Eric Hagen.

Matty Day is an artist that can't be pigeonholed into any genre. The proof of this is his new album, Meta Dada, which one could say is a reflection of his career to date. This album zig zags from genre to genre and subgenre to subgenre, sometimes in the course of a single song. One thing this album is not is boring. Meta Dada is full of outstanding performances by Matty and the twenty some odd musicians he has playing on it. Underlying the entire project is some very smart humor to keep you on your toes. And if you didn't think Meta Dada was enough, we also talk about Wayne Newton.

"In Our Coldest Time," "Ode to Jove," "Sunburn," "Lady Circadia," and "Untrue & Not Enough" written and performed by Matty Day

Matty Day is an artist that can't be pigeonholed into any genre. The proof of this is his new album, Meta Dada, which one could say is a reflection of his career to date. This album zig zags from genre to genre and subgenre to subgenre, sometimes in the course of a single song. One thing this album is not is boring. Meta Dada is full of outstanding performances by Matty and the twenty some odd musicians he has playing on it. Underlying the entire project is some very smart humor to keep you on your toes. And if you didn't think Meta Dada was enough, we also talk about Wayne Newton.

"In Our Coldest Time," "Ode to Jove," "Sunburn," "Lady Circadia," and "Untrue & Not Enough" written and performed by Matty Day

Champian Fulton is simply one of the finest jazz pianists and vocalists around today. Her love of jazz goes as far back as she can remember and the happiness it brings her bubbles over to her fans and audiences. She has performed with some of the genre's greats like drummer Louis Hayes, vocalist Joe Williams, and trumpet player Clark Terry. Champian isn't solely a jazz artist, she's a devotee of the genre—she calls it being a "jazz nerd"—so she's also a huge fan and one of jazz's greatest advocates and ambassadors. Whether playing piano or singing, her style has been called sophisticated and distinct. We just call it extraordinary music made by one fantastic jazzer named Champian Fulton.

Mike Underwood has been referred to as "The Engine." Why? There's no quit in this guy when it comes to music. Whether he's performing (that's performing, not just merely playing) on stage, in the studio, exploring his next rhythmic conquest, or even spending valuable time listening to learn, Mike invests himself into what he does not just for himself, but for the people he makes music with and for. He is one of the most entertaining musicians you will ever witness perform (there's that word again!) and he's just a quality guy to be around. Settle in and get to know "The Engine."

7000apart is truly an international band. Multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Kresin is from Green Bay, Wisconsin and his wife, vocalist Amelie Eiding, is from Stockholm, Sweden. The melding of the two cultures has produced some outstanding pop music that combines elements of rock, rap, ballads, power pop, and a good dose of that Swedish musical influence. Their ever expanding sonic palette produces sounds and textures that give their songs more character than most of the commercial pop music available today. Jon and Amelie are two of the most generous people, always giving of themselves to give a boost to fellow artists and to help improve life for others.

NOTE: This episode contains discussion regarding mental health from a personal perspective. It is not intended to diagnose nor treat any mental health issues.

Jonathan Fries of ADAMAH has put on a lot of miles despite being a young man. Throughout his career and his travels, he's been on a journey of self discovery not just as a musician, but as a man. To say Jonathan is enthusiastic is understating it. His zeal for life, his wife, Morgan, music, travel, and just about anything else he gets into is infectious. From drumming as a teen to fronting ADAMAH from behind the kit, Jonathan has seen and done more in his career than a lot of seasoned pros twice his age.

AMELIA FORD returns with her third Nashville gem, "Loyal," a band update, and more! Text us about this show.

Amelia Ford and her husband, Shawn Maass, have been having an incredible 2023. Capping off the year, Amelia released three stellar singles in "Hate Her," "Happy Now," and now "Loyal." While the first two singles hit hard, "Loyal" is a ballad that combines the pop sensibilities of her Wide Wide Open album with some of the harder edged textures of "Hate Her" and "Happy Now." Amelia and Shawn also talk about the process of bringing a new band together, Shawn the musician, voice lessons and growth, and singing badly around the house. Sounds like fun!

This episode is dedicated to the memory of the "King of Oshkosh," drummer Tom Hansen. He is missed.

Arilya is the husband and wife duo of Nic and Sandi Hermann. They are a band on the rise bringing their brand of "heavy pop" to the masses. Heavy pop you ask? Think Fickle Friends meets Foo Fighters. That's the way Nic describes it and he couldn't have hit it and squarer on the head. Their latest single, "Red Flags," overflows with all sorts of pop sensibilities combined with dynamic vocals by Sandi and enough crunchy guitars to satisfy hard rock fans. Born out of adversity, "Red Flags" shows how Nic and Sandi are stronger together not just as musical partners in Arilya, but husband and wife. We also discuss the brand new video for "Red Flags" which is highly recommended viewing!

Their latest single, "Red Flags," overflows with all sorts of pop sensibilities combined with dynamic vocals by Sandi and enough crunchy guitars to satisfy hard rock fans. Born out of adversity, "Red Flags" shows how Nic and Sandi are stronger together not just as musical partners in Arilya, but husband and wife. We also discuss the brand new video for "Red Flags" which is highly recommended viewing!

Brandon Bjorkman of Motion Works Media, LLC is not one to sit still. Sure, he has a local business based in photography and videography, but this guy does a lot more than just take a great picture. Brandon has travelled the world to capture musicians and gigs to give them a visual presence that is second-to-none. We discuss his 17-year career that not only includes the visual end of things, but the aural because Brandon is also a multi-instrumentalist, sound man, and part-time roadie to boot. He truly understands what performers go through and he uses that to capture some of the most incredible concert photos and videos you'll ever see.

Jackson Mankowski grew up in a prominent musical home in Wisconsin (his dad is jazz saxophonist, Woody Mankowski). His formative years were filled with all sorts of classic music, so it's hardly a surprise that Jackson would become a musician himself. He's been around long enough to have experienced a lot that life throws at a person and it's evident in his songwriting. He writes, sings, and plays from the soul and as time progresses, that soulfulness in his songs only gets richer and deeper.

Jay Stulo isn't just one of the most talented blues guitarists you'll hear today, he's also a student of the genre. One of the reasons Jay is able to play with the passion and heart that he does goes back to learning the history of the blues and a plethora of its most storied players. It becomes an understanding of the foundations of blues music and its traditions (Delta, Chicago, Texas, British, etc.). Whether any number of guitarists (T-bone Walker to Jeff Beck to Derek Trucks) or other instrumentalists (harmonica players like Sonny Boy Williamson, Little Walter, and Paul Butterfield), the rich traditions of the blues continue to grow and flourish. Join us as we take a deep dive into the blues and even take in a couple tracks by Jay.

Bryan Meyers is an exceptionally talented drummer who has put in a lot of time with a lot of different bands. He works out of his Los Angeles area home with a pair of tribute bands (including Dead Man's Party, a tribute to Oingo Boingo) along with a cover band called The Guilty Pleasure Makers. Along with drumming, he has scored music for independent films and written and recorded his own solo material. Bryan doesn't have a name many will recognize, but his experience along with his self-starter can-do attitude is something we can all get something out of. Plus we'll hear a track from his former band, Ashworth, and one of his more recent solo efforts, "Wannabee."

Bryan Meyers is an exceptionally talented drummer who has put in a lot of time with a lot of different bands. He works out of his Los Angeles area home with a pair of tribute bands (including Dead Man's Party, a tribute to Oingo Boingo) along with a cover band called The Guilty Pleasure Makers. Along with drumming, he has scored music for independent films and written and recorded his own solo material. Bryan doesn't have a name many will recognize, but his experience along with his self-starter can-do attitude is something we can all get something out of. Plus we'll hear a track from his former band, Ashworth, and one of his more recent solo efforts, "Wannabee."

Michael Grabner is back on the show with a brilliant brand new single called "Off The Path." Michael is an open book and through his music he conveys his life's journey complete with highs and lows. His performances echo this and, because of the intimacy of a live show, give even deeper meaning to his songs. "Off The Path" is stripped down and heavy both in feel and subject matter, but it's a fantastic song and shows a ton of growth in this outstanding singer-songwriter.

When Elton John released his second album, Tumbleweed Connection, in the latter part of 1970, he took a huge gamble on his sophomore effort. Heavily influenced and inspired by The Band's classic debut, Music From Big Pink, and featuring no hit singles, it has come to be hailed as a near perfect album and one of Elton's finest. Steve March-Tormé and Michael Murphy are now bringing the entire album to the stage in the form of Tumbleweed Re-Connection for two nights featuring a stellar band in one of Wisconsin's finest auditoriums. Each show will be like getting a two-for-one concert because they will also be featuring a set of 1970's biggest songs. Listen here to get the inside scoop and all the show information.

The Gentlemen Grifters are Shaun Swanson and Mike Goodwin, two guys that like to share a good story through a song. As their bio for the Mile Of Music festival says, their “songs are often tongue-in-cheek portraits of criminals, gamblers, addicts, and drifters.” Think of their songs as short stories and folk tales set to some of the sweetest acoustic music you'll hear. Call it Americana or call it bluegrass, it's beautiful in its simplicity. Music that's genuine, honest, and has nothing to hide behind created by Shaun and Mike (and sometimes their friend, Brent), a couple guys with the heart and chops to do it right.

Call it Americana or call it bluegrass, it's beautiful in its simplicity. Music that's genuine, honest, and has nothing to hide behind created by Shaun and Mike (and sometimes their friend, Brent), a couple guys with the heart and chops to do it right.

Timm Buechler is one talented guy. He primarily plays bass, something he taught himself out of necessity. However, he also writes, sings, is a graphic artist, and he has a thing for 8-track tapes. He has toured with the likes of Paul Collins and Peter Case, played on sessions for Dwight Twilley, and even met Susanna Hoffs (The Bangles) once. After playing bass in different parts of the world, on national tours, and with several local bands, the cool thing you find about Timm is he's still very much in touch with his roots. Today he shares with us his stories.  And his 8-tracks.

We discuss why northeast Wisconsin is becoming a hot spot for singer-songwriters of which she is emerging as one to pay attention to.

Michael Grabner is an artist whose songs you will want to simply reach out and take hold of. For a young man he's done a lot of living and, with that, a lot of learning along the way. Those life experiences are the emotion that fuel the songs on his albums Restart and A Story I Can't Tell as well as his new single, "Deja Vu." Some of Michael's influences go back several decades to early Bob Dylan albums, Neil Young, and Townes Van Zandt and more recently with Elliot Smith. He also has a message of hope because he's a big believer in second chances that lead to a better and fulfilling life.

Guitarist Dennis Shepherd returns to the show to tell us all about the magnum opus he was recording when he was here several months back. Clocking in at 7:11, "Guitar Therapy" is a celebration of Dennis's recovery from a potentially career ending wrist injury and the continuation of his ability to play at a high level. It also is an homage to some of Dennis's guitar heroes like Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Muddy Waters, Andy Summers, David Gilmour, Chuck Berry, and Eddie Van Halen. It also doesn't hurt when you have Marc Golde recording it at Rock Garden Studio. It's time to celebrate and get into the music with Dennis Shepherd!

Roger Lee has one of the purest voices you'll hear today. Pair that voice with his story of overcoming the adversity of dealing with cancer and a fifty percent chance of survival, you have one special musician. Roger shares about this but he also talks about giving hope to those whose shoes he's been in. Roger Lee is a singer-songwriter, a survivor, and a gentleman. He's the kind of guy this show wants to expose to the world in order to bring more hope and beauty into it.
