LIVE with Chris Rugowski
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.
