Maino and the Mayor LIVE Music

LIVE with Chris Rugowski

Civic Media — Sat, 24 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Local music lights up the scene with Chris Rugowski sharing his unique sound, embodying the spirit of creativity and resilience. Chris is part of the band Age of Fable, but joins us with a couple of great solo songs.

Chris shares: “Reflecting on this morning with Maino and the Mayor (and Dennis Peters from Glam Band). I was nervous about it, but looking forward to it. After all like Melanie said I’m a Leo and ham in the spotlight.

I’ve done interviews before on TV and for video, but none of them have ever been as fun, and thought provoking as today’s was. From kicking it off with my OnlyFans comments to how downtown GB used to be sketchy bikers and now it’s so much better, with so much to come, to post-air discussions.

“These guys are genuine folks who truly care about the creative scene and they made me feel pretty special with their comments and reactions.“

I’ve been playing music for a long time, and been shooting photos for a long time, and I know I get recognized for it, but for people who have never heard my music, or seen my photos to be almost instantly impressed, and tell instantly I am a “creative”, and that’s totally cool, like, it’s just validating.”

Maino & the Mayor’s LIVE Music Series broadcasts live from the WGBW studio in downtown Green Bay.

Civic Media — Sat, 05 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Our favorite duo from Green Bay and Sweden, 7000apart, joins Maino & the Mayor to grace us with some music.

Amelie Eiding and Jonathan Kresin began their musical journey in Green Bay, where Amelie was a foreign exchange student. Their high-school romance turned into a 7,000 km long-distance relationship and evolved into a dynamic musical partnership and marriage. We love them and their story!

Amelie also announces that she is the Swedish voice for Snow White in Disney’s live-action remake and sings a snippet. They also share the process in creating their upcoming 3rd album, Why We Do What We Do:

From songs about mental health and self-discovery to anthems made for singing along live, this album is our love letter to you—the people who make it all possible.

LIVE with Jamie Lynn Fletcher

Civic Media — Sat, 01 Mar 2025 01:00:00 +0000

“From Ella to Elvis, Sinatra to Amy” and a few chickens thrown into the mix, Jamie Lynn Fletcher has a very interesting story and is a phenomenal singer.

But there’s also Scooter.

This is Scooter.

Twelve year old Scooter is one of Jamie Lynn’s designer chickens who’s had so many near misses with death that cats are envious of his 9+ lives! Scooter The Wonder Chicken just launched the first of her children’s book series AND coloring book. If you thought you could never fall in love with a chicken, then think again.

Jamie Lynn is a name you should have heard before and if you haven’t then you need to start listening now!

Then Beckett K is in the house!!! Dressed to the nines in Eagles gear. Bex doesn’t think the Chiefs are unbeatable he thinks the refs are. He talks about raising $482,660 and 1/4 of a penny last night with Bill Jartz from the 36th Annual Wine & Cheese event for the Boys and Girls Club. An incredible night Bex predicts that the Chiefs will win despite not wanting them to.
