Winter Rise HOst, Celeste from the WBLM Morning Show and mid-days on WCYY

Celeste is the co-host of the WBLM Morning Show, Public Service Director for Townsquare Media Portland and the mid-day host on WCYY. A native Mainer, she grew up in Saco. Music has always been important to Celeste and when she’s not playing it at work, you’ll find her listening to her family playing piano, guitar and cowbell at home.

Winter Rise Special Guest, Adam Ayan

Adam has mastered several Grammy & Latin Grammy Award winning recordings (67 to date!), countless #1 singles and albums, and has hundreds of Gold, Platinum or Multi-Platinum projects to his credit to date. He has worked with superstar artists ranging from Paul McCartney and the Rolling Stones to Pearl Jam and Nirvana, from Madonna to Taylor Swift and Katy Perry. The list goes on!

"Supporting MAMM is always a pleasure and honor", says Ayan. "Their mission to bring music education to people of all ages across the state of Maine is awesome and admirable! "

Winter Rise DJ, DJ SHAXX

Meet DJ Shaxx, the vibrant host behind "Left of the Dial," a weekly journey into the heart and soul of punk, post-punk, new wave, and alternative rock of the 80s and 90s. DJ Shaxx's dedication to unearthing hidden gems from the depths of dusty crates throughout the strip malls of post-modern America is unparalleled. Not content with just spinning tunes, he has also become known for his innovative karaoke weather report, a segment that has recently captured the spotlight on News Center Maine's 207.
