We're not sure if it's sorcery, serendipity or happenstance, but this thing called Friday just keeps happening, and there isn't a better way to kick off your weekend than by spending it with WMOT. This week's Finally Friday features well-loved Nashville singer-songwriter Claudia Nygaard, Celtic influenced folkie Kathleen Hoye, and cowpunk pioneer Chip Kinman (pictured).

This week we'll have Arizona singer-songwriter Adam Esrick, country crooner Andrew Sa (pictured) and solo artist (and Shooter Jennings band member) Ted Russell Kamp.

We have a cool breeze of artists coming in this week including brother/sister native Nashville duo Sibling Wars, husband and wife duo Golden Everything(pictured) and emerging indie Americana band Wily.

This week, we'll hear from Canadian songwriter Lynne Hanson and her new single "Invisible," badass roots pop duo The Montvales, and West Coast composer/poet/filmmaker ISMAY (pictured).

This week we feature Sicard Hallow (pictured), an exciting string band getting set to play Gallagher Fest. Then it's multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Cole Ritter, followed by the lapel-grabbing indie country of Chicago Farmer.

We start with the amazing voice and writing of edge-of-country Aubrie Sellers with songs from her new album Attachment Theory. Nashville native Jess Woodland is emerging as a deeply soulful and personal songwriter with a voice that grips. And we'll close out with a song-swapping sessions with R&B/country cats Yates McKendree, Seth James, and Mike Gulden.
