Even though Kathy Mancl has been in music for decades, she, in a number of ways, is just getting started. In 2024 she released her debut album, Red Hot Lover, from which two of the tracks won WAMI Awards and in recent years joined two of Wisconsin's biggest bands, Vic Ferrari and STEEM. From starting out in a working country band at the age of ten up to now, there has been no stopping her. As for her re...
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 fri...
A year ago I had Dr. Hannah Formella Zdroik of Melody Audiology LLC on the show to discuss hearing protection and preservation for musicians, music professionals, and fans alike. She returns on this episode to discuss the latest technology and strategies for helping those with hearing issues. She also gives us a glimpse into her own music theater endeavors that are helping to bridge audiology and performance...
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 ea...
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 acti...
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 l...
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. ...
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...
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 voca...
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 ...
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, he...
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 ge...

Eric LaBrosse is the owner of Cherry Pit Studios in the Milwaukee suburb of Menomonee Falls, WI. He's grown his business over the years having started in his parents' basement to now owning the facility outright. Over time Cherry Pit's reputation for clean, quality recordings has grown and is now one of the go-to studios in SE Wisconsin. On this show we discuss his philosophies on recording an...
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 "S...
The Wisconsin music scene is rife with outstanding original music across a number of genres. On this episode of Into The Music, we're sampling some of those releases by Wisconsin artists like Brad Bordini, Tyler Sj, Eric W. Krueger & The Sheesh, Willy Porter, Ben Mulwana, David Fry, Johnny Cee, Carmen Nickerson, The Brothers Gunn as well as Australia's The Outback Surf Squad and the premiere of...
Over the past two years, Into The Music has grown to become a staple in many music fans' regular podcast listening. On this week's show, Brad Bordini steps into the host's chair to interview Rob about the state of the podcast, his own background in music, how listeners can help support and grow Into The Music, and even the annual Holiday Extravaganza show. So join Brad and Rob and go behind th...
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...
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 mus...
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 ...

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
