This week on Finally Friday we have a heartland rock double feature with Michael McDermott and David Newbould playing new songs from each of their latest albums.

This week on Finally Friday from Home we have two seasoned storytellers, Seth Walker and BJ Barham of American Aquarium. Seth Walker performs "The Future Ain't What It Used To Be," "Remember Me," "Grab Ahold" and "High Time" from his new album 'I Hope I Know.' BJ Barham plays "Chicamacomico," "The First Year," "Waking Up The Echoes," and "All I Needed" from the forthcoming new Americana Aquarium album,...

Nothing is accidental about Finally Friday, and we always strive for a lively time, but things will be especially deliberate and especially funny during this week’s at-home edition of our weekly show. That’s because we’re featuring Michigan to Nashville power folk trio The Accidentals and the witty, literate country music of Nashville’s Aaron Raitiere.

This Friday is an especially rich date for live shows in Music City. Banditos are throwing an album release party outdoors at the Basement at 5 pm. Joshua Hedley and Dawn Landes are on the Musicians Corner bill at Centennial Park. Christina Vane celebrates her new CD at Dee’s. And I’m taking my kid to see Haim from the lawn at Ascend. But folks, none of that distracts from or overlaps with WMOT’s stacked lineup at lunch hour at Eastside Bowl. You can do it all.

Watch two brand new sets from home. Jeremy Garrett will be playing tracks from his new solo album Wild River, and Steve Dawson will play songs from his latest, Gone Long Gone, accompanied by Fats Kaplan.

This Friday starting at 12 PM CST on WMOT you can catch two brand new sets from home. Jeremy Garrett will be playing tracks from his new solo album Wild River, and Steve Dawson songs from his latest, Gone Long Gone, accompanied by Fats Kaplan.

Known for the myriad of styles heard in his music, a mesh of Americana, blues, and rock, Seth Walker’s forthcoming album, I Hope I Know ( out May 20 via Royal Potato Family), scratches a particular nostalgic itch. Check out the exclusive premiere of his new single, "Remember Me," only on WMOT.

South Florida temperatures are going to be rising soon and many of us are about to dread going outdoors. Here are things to do before our weather starts approaching 90 degrees.

Fun fact about Nashville and Friday is that back in 1972, you could have found Rodney Crowell and Marshall Chapman working at T.G.I. Fridays’ on Elliston Place, which back then was actually one of the hipper places in town. She was a server, and he was a dishwasher, which just goes to show ya. Another fun fact about Friday is that we have this weekly series where artists from around town and around the country set aside time to perform for y’all. We call it Finally Friday, and it’s cycling...
