This week on Finally Friday from Home, we've got two amazing musicians playing songs from their latest projects. Texas siren Courtney Patton plays songs from her forthcoming album, Electrostatic, slated for release on October 7th, and from the Outlaw side of country and the True Grit talent roster, Alex Williams plays music from his album called Waging Peace, out October 7th.
  • For the second year, WMOT took over the Wash at East Side Bowl in Madison to host three days of hand-picked master musicians that told the story of AmericanaFest 2022. Nashville's award-winning photographer John Partipilo was on hand to capture the sights while WMOT broadcast the sounds.
  • The historic music venues in the 140-year-old brick building at 1 Cannery Row have been silent since the spring as they undergo extensive renovations, but yesterday new owners DZL Management unveiled its plans to open its four spaces under new names in 2023. The multi-genre complex will be called Cannery Hall.
  • The 21 years since the birth of the Americana Music Association’s annual fall convention and festival have been rough on the American people but good for America’s music. It recalls the breakthroughs and beauty that came from the grassroots during the Great Depression. Hard times inspire art. As I traversed the city during my own 21st AmericanaFest, I saw a vibrant community, full showcases, exciting special events and optimism about the business.
