Full-time musician Stolie (officially Rebecca Stoelinga) grew up in Deerfield, Illinois and currently resides on the northwest side of Chicago.  As a kid she learned to play piano and as a teenager, she taught herself guitar. As a young adult, she pursued a degree in music education from Illinois Wesleyan University, but all the while, Stolie was writing, recording and performing her original music on voice, guitar and piano.  


After 3 original album releases and years of touring the country as a pop-folk singer-songwriter, Stolie later found ways to continue music involvement, but to stay local -- working music publicity, teaching guitar and piano, and hammering out the cover tunes at bars from Wrigleyville to Wisconsin.  Her most recent endeavor showcases her live performance prowess before a whole new demographic -- children!

Super Stolie debuted on the children's music scene in 2006 when a friend asked her to play family-friendly tunes at a fundraiser for her child's school.  In early 2009, Stolie had written enough material for an album and released When I Grow Up, her first collection of original music for children.  Recorded in her home studio, Super Stolie performed on guitar, piano, ukulele, bass, harmonica, djembe, and programmed all the beats with Apple’s Garageband program.  The result is a full band-sounding rock album, glittered with Stolie's lyrical wit which has parents laughing, toddlers tongue-twisting, and has also proven to lull the little ones to sleep in the back of the car.

Brand new kids’ music for 2012! Super Stolie is so excited to release Press Play!, her second collection of original children’s music!  Dedicated fans helped her surpass her funding goal by contributing to her CD project via Kickstarter, and will be the very first to hear the new CD before its official release date.

Wisconsin's loveable mascot, Bucky Badger, has always ranked high in fan appeal and enthusiasm. Although badgers in various forms had been the University of Wisconsin mascot for decades, the version that is currently known as Bucky, sporting a cardinal and white sweater, was first drawn in 1940 by professional illustrator Art Evans of Garden Grove, Calif. In 1949, a student first wore a badger outfit with a papier-máchê head at the homecoming game and the mascot came to life.

The Library of Congress in Washington D.C. designated Bucky's birthday to be October 2. According to the Catalog of Copyright Entries, Bucky's likeness earned a copyright on October 2, 1940. Though most badgers are born in the spring, this one became officially recognized on October 2.

The nickname "Badgers," was borrowed from the state of Wisconsin, which was dubbed the "Badger State." The name didn't come from the animals in the region, but rather from an association with lead miners in the 1820s. Without shelter in the winter, the miners had to "live like Badgers" in tunnels burrowed into hillsides.

The badger started as the official UW mascot with the inception of intercollegiate football in 1889. The original badger mascot was too vicious to control. On more than one occasion, the live badger escaped handlers before a sideline hero recaptured the animal with a flying tackle. It was decided in the interest of fan and player safety that Wisconsin's mascot be retired to the Madison Zoo. The Badger Yearbook replaced the live badger with a small raccoon named Regdab (badger backwards) and passed it off as a "badger in a raccoon coat."
