In a world where many American jobs have been offshored, American Giant stands out by producing high-quality clothing right in the USA. This move not only supports local manufacturing but also challenges the prevailing trend of cheap, overseas production. American Giant offers a range of apparel, including sweatshirts, jeans, dresses, and jackets, all crafted with care and attention to detail.

Listeners of I95, the classic rock station at 95.7 FM, recently tuned in to a lively radio segment that touched on various everyday topics, including the challenge of tax preparations, the chilly weather, upcoming music events, and a chance to win concert tickets. As the segment progressed, the host encouraged participation in a fun “name that beat” game, aimed at giving away tickets to an exciting show featuring Volbeat and Hailstorm at the Maine Savings Amphitheater on August 12th.

The conversation shifted to the current weather conditions, with temperatures feeling significantly cooler due to blustery winds. The host reminded listeners to bundle up as they headed out, illustrating the realities of a New England winter.

Excitement filled the air as music announcements were made, including potential upcoming tours for big names like Sting. The nostalgia of past concerts created a buzz among fans, who eagerly anticipated the chance to see their favorite artists live.

In a delightful nod to working mothers everywhere, the segment celebrated National Working Mom's Day. The host reflected on the relentless juggling act that many working moms perform daily, often going unnoticed despite their significant contributions both at home and in their careers. This recognition is a reminder of the dedication and hard work that goes into balancing motherhood with professional responsibilities.

As the segment continued, the community was encouraged to participate in various giveaways and engage with the station through the app. With the promise of a 95-minute classic rock free ride later in the day, listeners had even more reasons to stay tuned and enjoy their favorite tunes while navigating their busy Wednesdays.

Listeners were given insights into upcoming changes in the local music scene, particularly the sale of a popular venue that was set to rebrand under new ownership in April. This transition brought anticipation for new dining and entertainment options, further energizing the local community.

Overall, the segment encapsulated the essence of a community coming together through shared experiences, celebrations, and a love for music — all while supporting local businesses and acknowledging the hard work of individuals contributing to society every day.

but I'm looking through more people uh who are announcing their tours and it looks like Sting is going to be back on tour again and anyone that saw his concert here in Bangor a couple years back I mean I kind of went into it with zero expectations cuz I thought I was going to be pretty mellow it's going to be whatever I was sorely mistaken and that ended up being one of the better shows that I saw down at the waterfront uh last or the year before I think when he came so if you get a chance if he does come up this way and again I'm just all of this is speculation but I'm excited I like to see who goes on tour and then I like to wait and see if they announc that they're coming up here so could be could be that he ends up up this way as well so we'll keep an eye out for that but uh those that we do know of you know of and we have the whole list of who's going to be playing the main savings Amphitheater right up online and our website I95 rocks.com and our app as well we'll see keep an

Who and the Red Hot Chili Peppers next on 995 95 Bangor classic rock station at 95.7 FM 7:45 almost 30 degrees outside not going to get super duper hot today little on the windy side uh so things are going to feel a little chillier than they did yesterday yesterday was nice A a lot of melting happened the the snowbank right next door on the lawn it was gone completely then it built up a little bit last week during a little bit of a snowfall and now it's pretty much bare again so uh the ground was frozen when I walked over it today if it thaws a little bit we're going to look at some mud mud Seasons right around the corner and I know those of you who like to go out and play with toys your 4x4s and your you know your trucks and stuff like that get excited I always love pulling up to a gas station and seeing somebody who is obviously had an outstanding time making such a mess uh it is those people that remind me of like my brothers when we were little cuz they would come in head to toe covered in mud and so happy about it there's something to be said for getting outside and doing that these days I don't think there are a lot of kids left that like to get super well I bet you they like to but they spend so much more time in front of a screen and although sometimes screens are a little bit neater and life is a little less messy it's so much fun to get dirty sometimes and get out there and get in the mud so hopefully you enjoy that when it comes your way uh I know I don't like cleaning during month season and I I think my Swiffer gets a A a big big workout but certainly it is fun and with good reason uh sometimes to just go go nuts out there we're going to go nuts right into this 8:00 hour we have some police on the way some de leopard too it's I95 I 95 Bangor classic rock
