JR Mitchell

I am the morning host and brand manager at Q-106.5, a two-time CMA Nominee for Small Market Personality of the Year and one-time ACM Nominee for Small Market Personality of the Year. When not behind a mic on-air, you can find me DJing events all over Maine and also singing some of the songs you love to listen to on the radio. I was the male vocalist & Entertainer of the Year in both the Pine Tree State Country Music Association & DECMA (Downeast Country Music Association.) I can also be called a geek. If it's electronic -- from computers to the latest tablet to the most recent high-tech phone on the market -- I geek out on all of the above, but not too much of a geek that I don't LOVE sports! Football, baseball, hockey & NASCAR are just a few of my favorites. I have a soft spot in my heart for The Pine Tree Camp for Children and Adults with Disabilities and I love the Q-106.5 Pine Tree Camp Egg Ride for this reason. Family, community service, and music keeps JR sane ... well, as sane as a 'Breakfast Flake' can be!

The shopping is done, the wrapping is nearly done, the stockings are hung by the chimney with care, and the kids are waiting for the arrival of Santa Claus. It's the one night of the year that children want to go to bed early, as we tell our children "Santa won't come if you're not asleep" As I grew up, The Muppets were as much a part of Christmas, as Rudolph & Frosty are, so enjoy this Christmas song from the Muppets as they sing 'One More Sleep 'Til Christmas'
