This week the New Music Experience featuredย some of the most promising new artists in Nashville whose work WNXP has beenย spotlighting in recent months including Dreamer Boy, Theย Brookย & The Bluff and WNXP Nashville Artist of the Month Houston Kendrick. Allย areย celebrating new releases this week.ย Thereโs also a cover of a lost indie classic by one of the most significant rock artists in Nashville history, Hayley Williams.ย
Weโre still working through the technical difficulties leftover from the lightning strike that hit Nashville Public Radio, so not as many guests as weโd like this week. But the WNXP staff came through with some great recommendations. Evening hostย Marquis Munson sharedย a collaboration between two of the most creative artists in any genreย โ Flying Lotus and Thundercatย โย teaming upย overย their shared love of Anime.ย We have an interview with one of the artists already being called one of the voices of her generation, Arlo Parksย fromย our very own Mickey Parks. And,ย alsoย thanks to Mickey Parks, somethingย newย from aย Zimbabwean-Americanย musician, gymnast, journalist and realityย TVย personality.ย
We startedย the showย like we do every week –ย withย anย artist whose work isย farย under the radar.ย LA songwriter Erickย Eiserย goes by the nameย Hornsbee,ย and,ย right now,ย he has just 198 monthly listeners on Spotify. But weโll see if we canย tickย that upย to at least 200.ย ย
