Text us about this show. 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. Tak...
Text us about this show. 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...
Text us about this show. On Christmas Eve 2024, Into The Music debuted on Outhouse Radio in Berlin, NH because Al Lockwood had a vision to support local musicians creating quality music and giving those songs airplay. Life for Al and his wife, Barb, is now going down a new path which has him departing from Outhouse Radio. This special show is a combination thank you card and love letter to Al for his generosity towards indie artists. On behalf of the Wisconsin music scene and the artists worl...
Text us about this show. Kostia is, in a word, special. He's not only a prolific composer and pianist, but one of the most genuine human beings you could ever know. Born and raised in St. Petersburg in the former USSR, Kostia made his way to the United States in 1989 and within a week of arriving he had his first recording deal with Narada Records. Over the years he has been active in the Milwaukee music scene accompanying vocalist Carmen Nickerson and playing keyboards for guitarist Daryl St...
Text us about this show. 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...
Text us about this show. Los Straitjackets guitarist Eddie Angel returns to Into The Music to talk about the band's brand new album, Somos Los Straitjackets. This is Los Straitjackets' first album of all original material since 2012's Jet Set and it's one of the best albums they have released in their thirty-plus year history. Top to bottom, it's one of the best releases of 2025 and it has all the warmth, heart, and soul of some of the greatest albums of the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Eddie, Greg Tow...
Text us about this show. Randy McStine is, simply put, a musical powerhouse. Not only is he a respected solo artist with thirteen albums to his credit, but over the past several years he has been playing alongside Steven Wilson in Porcupine Tree and in Wilson's own band. Add to that the three incredible and inventive albums he's released with Marco Minnemann and you have a rock solid musical legacy that is only going to get bigger and better in the years to come. Randy is one of the most inno...

Text us about this show. 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 or...

Text us about this show. 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...
Text us about this show. Aubrey Marie is a young lady with a very bright future ahead of her in music and life. In the latter half of 2024, she dropped her debut album, Where's My Wizard Of Oz, at the age of 13 and almost instantly was getting recognised for her composing and vocals. Want proof? How about being a finalist in two categories for the 2025 WAMI Awards as well as garnering airplay across the state. Coming from a musical family (her parents are Nick and Nicole Pari of Milwaukee's T...
Text us about this show. 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,...

One way to build your excitement for it is to watch the new documentary from PBS Wisconsin, Mile Of Music. Colin Crowley is the lead producer of the documentary and he's here to give listeners a behind-the-scenes look at the show and how it will put you right in the middle of the festival. Mile Of Music isn't just a one hour documentary, it also include...
Text us about this show. 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 Mich...
Text us about this show. When it comes to genuine old school R&B, soul, and funk, Minor Worries has it covered. Singer Josh J'Clef Guy and saxophonist Malcolm Deon Blakley, Jr. have joined forces with guitarist Pat Stillman, drummer Justin Christensen, and bassist Andrew Bader of The Swingin' Royals to create a band that will have you groovin' from beat number one. On this show we get the scoop on how they came together and the reason behind the recording of their first full gig which, in...
Text us about this show. 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 t...
Text us about this show. In 2024 violinist/vocalist Kate Stenson and pianist/vocalist Jennifer Harlee put together a band that has a combined 190 years experience between the five members and it is something special. Wine On Fridays is an all female band and plays a wide variety of music styles and, as is evidenced by their debut album, all of it meshes together for a great listening experience. Over the years, Kate and Jennifer have recorded and performed together and as solo artists, b...
