The double length duration of the last episode was so pleasing, we’re doing it again! Maybe that makes Episode 390 less special because now it’s becoming the norm but let’s not think about that right now. We’ve got approximately 2 hours of local music queued up (and one minute of fun coffee shop ambience) and not a single track on here is bad. That…

For episodes ending in a zero or five, we try to do something a little different. Given that this is Episode 390, we’re sticking to that tradition by offering up a double episode. All told, there’s 27 tracks here and about 2 hours of runtime. Does that sound overwhelming? Too much? Well, trust me, it’s not! Just treat it like radio, turn it on, let…

Last episode we jumped the queue to get to some newer music from the local area. This is the queue that was jumped! More great local music that might actually be more relevant to share this episode than it was last episode. Kismet. I mention DRKMTTR Fest in this episode. Be sure to mark your calendars for Oct 19th & 20th and go ahead and get those …

There’s been a wealth of great new releases lately and we’re itching for you to hear them; so we’re jumping our own queue and getting them out there. Here’s another hour of local releases that span the gamut of genres but they’re all a downright pleasure. We recommend you get yourself to the DEFY Film Festival this weekend (Aug 16 + 17) and get you…

Far Out Fest 777 starts on Thursday, Aug 1st and runs through Saturday, Aug 3rd. It’s free this year! We have a quick chat with founder, curator, team leader Bunny Nunn about the history of the festival and what to expect at this year’s iteration. After our chat, I spend some time previewing each of the artists playing over the weekend. Listening b…

After the two hour extravaganza of the last episode, this one has been parred down a bit. Not in quality but in quantity. We got lots of genre hopping and everything’s from Nashville locals. That’s Hushhh on our cover. “Main Theme” by Upright T-Rex Music, other music beds by Test Kitchen. Click here for full episode notes Follow us on Instagram or …

For episodes ending in a zero or five, I try to do something a little different. It’s an opportunity to stretch outside our normal box a little bit. For this episode, I let the theme “higher voices” guide the selections. That’s it! The set is approximately two hours long and doesn’t come close to including everything I wanted to include. Despite th…

There’s one track on this episode that was designated as Nashville, TN. Upon checking on it a week or so later, it was then designated as from Chengdu, China. Did the artist make the cross global trip? Was the original tag a joke? How did this music get made? Music is mysterious, we may never know the answer. What we do know is that 14 out of 15 tr…

As you well know, June 15th is affectionally known as “615 Day” here in Nashville, TN. Thanks to our area code, it’s easy to connect 6/15 to (615). Lightning 100 has been making a treat of it for years (for which we are thankful!). In 2024, a new tradition begins with Six One Tribe holding their 615DAY festivities. The inaugural event takes place a…

As noted in the last episode, the backlog is over! At least, the 2023 backlog is over. Now I’m working on the 2024 backlog. It never ends. That’s a good thing; the well will never run dry. Maybe I should have entitled the episode that. Next time. Regardless, helluva great episode here ready for your ears. While you’re here, go ahead and subscribe t…

It’s accidentally been a minute since the last episode! Woops! As per tradition, episodes ending in a zero or five we try to do something slightly different. For episode 380, we’re clearing out the 2023 backlog. For the past thirty episodes we’ve been playing catch up on releases from last years and it’s high time we finish that task! So, this epis…

A special episode for two reasons. First off, every episode we strive to cover a wide range of genres while still being compelling and we nailed it on this one. That’s real special. Secondly, this is the 365th episode that I’ve released (that’s Michael Eades). There are a handful of WOTT Music episodes done by other people but now, if you so desire…

Making our way through a backlog of releases from 2023 but, quite honestly, the lines are beginning to blur. Plenty of these tracks were released in 2024 and, *even more honestly,* who cares **when** music was released? It’s just music that’s new to me and new to you. It’s 45 minutes of wonderful local music. What else ya need to know? That’s BATS …

You up for 56 minutes of local music? Ideally you answered yes to that, otherwise we got ourselves a real conundrum! Tune in, enjoy and then click through in the show notes below to hear even more.

If you’re looking for an excellent introduction to the varietal offerings coming from the Nashville music scene, this is a solid episode to start with. The opening two tracks – debut singles from Body Electric and Demiatrix are stellar and the show just keeps that level of quality throughout the duration. There’s even some experimental tuba that is…

We’re calling this episode a “Lost Episode.” Back in April of 2023, this entire playlist was compiled and ready to go – but life got in the way and the episode was never recorded or released. It’s been a haunting, lingering, specter ever since! So, without further ado, here’s a playlist of local tracks that were ready for your ears 11 months ago bu…

It’s local and it’s good for you. This episode we’ve got twelve tracks that run a wide gamut of genres – an offering that helps us achieve our goal of bringing you some interesting offerings. Always.

The second song of this episode is a Flesh Eater track that may throw you off your game pretty quickly. It’s a bit off kilter, it’s a bit different but it’s also joyous and features a surprise treat – stick with it. There’s also a song from 2011 in here that I accidentally bought twice because I have the brain of a mouse. Regardless of those unnece…

This one is filled with all sorts of magical happenstance timing. New track from Tayls and he recently announced a big show called PRISM? Yep. Another track from Gloom Girl MFG and they just announced their new EP and release show? Absolutely. Did I plan any of that beforehand? Not a chance! It all just happened for a reason. Dive in deep on this o…

Continuing to plow through a backlog of 2023 releases. Included in this episode are some absolute doozies you won’t want to miss. See the notes below for links to hear loads more.

Three hundred and seventy episodes deserves a special playlist! So, we put together 21 covers – one of which is even a local band covering a local band and another is two local bands collab’ing together for one mega cover. Everyone loves a cover! Let this be a conduit to discover more from these artists or maybe just a way to have a new favorite ve…

This entire episode is dedicated to trying to get you up and moving around. There’s a lot of great dance-y music emerging from Nashville and it’s a great feeling to pull some of it together and get that body moving. Not *every* song on this episode will inspire that movement but the intent is to get you there on the whole. Lock in, start throwing y…

Approximately 56 minutes of new and notable local music for you. We kick this episode off with “Lip” from Mama Zu – the debut and final project from Jessi Zazu and Linwood K. Regensburg Jr. If you aren’t familiar with Those Darlins (Zazu’s original band) or the Scene cover story about Mama Zu, please familiarize yourself ASAP. As always, take some …

This episode we are focusing on a genre I am calling slowgaze. It’s not a specific genre – it might be shoegaze, it might be psych folk, it might be electronic, it might be ambient, it might be metal – but there’s something about it that is a little withdrawn, then explosive and always immersive. Our hope is that these twelve songs will carry you a…
