Superheroes and Budding Superstars (Hour 2)

April 25, 2025

Even if you live outside of Northeastern Wisconsin, NEWisco Weekend is one of Civic Media's greatest weekly shows! It is hosted by none other than Civic Media News Northeast Wisconsin Bureau Chief Lisa Hale, and she joins Pete tonight to give a preview of the fun conversations she'll be having this weekend in celebrating superheroes and everyday community heroes.

Up next, Teri Barr joins us for a very special Barr Band Friday, reminding us not to judge an artist based on their age. Our live musical guest is Paige Kleber, an up-and-coming singer-songwriter from Madison who is just 12 years old, making her the youngest guest on Nite Lite so far! She was inspired by the accomplishments of young artists like Taylor Swift, and we believe that her journey will inspire other young musicians in much the same way. Despite her young age, she has already released an album of amazing original songs and plays shows around the state, including several performances of the National Anthem at sports events. Between the annual Madison Area Music Association and Wisconsin Area Music Industry awards shows, Paige is up for several awards, and she will be performing at the WAMI Award Show.

Head to paigekleber.com to check out Paige's music and upcoming shows, and to join her mailing list, the GlueSticks Fan Club!
