WNXP Nashville Artist of the Month: Yola Jan 17, 2025

Show notes

The British-born, Nashville-based artist Yola has a new EP called My Way. That’s a fitting title for the work of a singer and songwriter who’s resisted labels that others have put on her throughout her career. WNXP’s Marquis Munson talked with the Nashville Artist of the Month about showing another side of herself musically.

Inspiration behind "Trainload of Sky" by Gillian Welch and David Rawlings Dec 30, 2024

Show notes

For a songwriter, the muse can be illusive. But for WNXP’s Nashville Artist of the Month, Gillian Welch, it was right in front of her eyes, and ours. In East Nashville, WNXP Music Reporter Justin Barney stumbled upon the inspiration for their new song.

On The Record with WNXP: Angélica Garcia Dec 18, 2024

Show notes

Angélica Garcia is honoring her lineage. Born in Los Angeles by Mexican and El Salvadoran parents, Garcia was surrounded by music her entire life — her mother was a successful Latin pop recording artist — but it wasn’t until her latest record Gemelo that she truly embraced her culture. The singer, songwriter (and dancer) fuses hybrid-pop with Hispanic influences, and now on Gemelo, she builds on this foundation by singing primarily in Spanish. The record explores the different stages and types of grief, but with a vibrant instrumentation that still feels fun and light-hearted.

Watch Angélica Garcia perform “Juanita,” “Gemini” and “Paloma” from Gemelo live at WNXP’s Sonic Cathedral here.

Listen to our conversation for family-friendly recommendations, and check out the list below for all the holiday takeovers at local bars. (Rachel and I did a Christmas bar crawl last year, which you can check out here.)

On The Record with WNXP: Still Woozy Dec 16, 2024

Show notes

Sven Gamsky doesn’t want to be boxed in. The producer and musician who performs under the pseudonym Still Woozy has found comfort in psychedelic bedroom pop but continues to push the boundaries of his sonic approach. His sophomore effort Loveseat showcases this experimentation and vulnerability both lyrically and sonically. The expected synthesizers are still present but paired with sweet, layered vocals and occasional fuzzed-out guitars. The result is an expansive, welcoming 13-song collection that pushes Still Woozy’s artistry to new heights.

Watch Still Woozy perform stripped-down versions of “Lemon” and “Shotput” from Loveseat as well as the breakout single “Goodie Bag” live at WNXP’s Sonic Cathedral here.
