Nelson Jewell

God, family, country, and blue collar roots—in that order … that pretty much describes me. I'm a Mainer through and through. After dusting off the snow, I stumbled out of Presque Isle, Maine, back in the late 70’s to attend UMaine, and have never left the Bangor area since. From farm work, logging, aviation, education, and broadcasting, you might say I've lived an adventurous life. I love my wife (the bumper sticker on my truck says so), children, grandkids, church family, my crazy dogs, my ‘ol ‘97 GMC truck, motorcycle, country music, and a cold one once in a while to take the edge off. Be sure to listen in weekday afternoons on Maine’s Fun Country Station…Q-106.5.

Nelson’s Farewell to Q-106.5 and Townsquare Media

In case you haven't heard through social media venues like Facebook, or the old fashion grapevine as it was called back in my day, I resigned my position as afternoon personality on Q-106.5, and as promotion's director for Townsquare Media in the Brewer/Bangor market...

Elves Deliver Jackson the Shelter Puppy to Kids for Christmas [VIDEO]

Puppies and kittens. Need I say more? They are the sweetest furry things that can automatically make you start babbling in a baby sort of way. Puppies and kittens are even more appealing when they are given as a planned (agreed to) gift during the Christmas season...

Epic Christmas Carolers and Orchestra Surprise Family [VIDEO]

Christmas surprises don't always come wrapped in pretty paper and bows. One Christmas tradition that I absolutely love is that of Christmas carolers who go from door to door sharing tidings of joy through Christmas music. It's even more of a surprise when a small group of carolers suddenly grow to very large numbers...

Last Minute Shopping Deals [VIDEO]

Mistletoe Contraption is Genius [VIDEO]

We've all got that nutty friend or relative that runs around with a mistletoe every Christmas season looking for a quick peck on the lips of cheek. But it's not often that you'll see a cleverly designed mistletoe contraption attached to some decorated plastic pipe and stuck in a backpack...

Why Tyke Hockey is Awesome [VIDEO]

Kids sports can be some of the most gratifying events. With the right coach and parent involvement, children can learn so much about hard work, playing as a team, and most importantly: good sportsmanship! Here's quick video of a tyke hockey game...

Baby Makeover When Mom’s Not Home [VIDEO]

I can attest that dad's have a pretty warped sense of humor when it comes to their children. I used to love to embarrass my boys when we were out in public. I figured it was my job. I would do things like hug them in front of their friends, or hand them women's underwear when walking by the ladies clothing department...

Stars, Musicians, and Other Notables We Lost in 2014 [VIDEO]

With the New Year approaching very quickly, it's always hard for me to look back and to say goodbye to another year. Sure, it is kind of sad that I'm getting older, but it is also sad to remember those who will no longer walk the same planet and breathe the same air as the rest of us...

Cat Adopts Abandoned Newborn Pitbull As Own [VIDEO]

Strange animal pairings can be found all over the internet--birds and cats, dogs and deer, elephants and dogs, ducks and goats and so on. But it's always strange when a mother cat decides to adopt a newborn puppy. This is a great video of a female cat who had give birth to her own litter recently, and then quickly adopted a newborn Pitbull puppy...

NFL Player Kicks it with the Rockettes! [VIDEO]

I've been to New York City a number of times and have done many of the touristy things, but I have never been to Radio City Music Hall to see the famed Rockettes. They are legendary. Just ask former NFL player, Michael Stahan, who once played 14 years for the mighty New York Giants...
