It’s an especially potent Finally Friday this week because it immediately precedes Sensational Saturday, when WMOT presents its first-ever Roots On The River festival. So if you avail yourself, you can pre-party on the airwaves with exceptional new music from roots rocker Nathan Kalish and country songbird Tiffany Williams singing from home before Saturday’s outdoor lineup makes it a fabulous weekend starting at 3 pm on Aug. 27.
Why does this week’s Finally Friday lineup feel like a film noir? I can see it now: Joe Pug’s a former prizefighter who turned to crime when his career tanked. Jake La Botz is a hard-bitten detective with secrets of his own who’s hot on his trail. But seriously, you won’t need extra drama with these guys on stage, virtually, for our weekly showcase.
This week's episode of Finally Friday from Home features We Banjo 3 playing songs from their latest release, Open the Road, and Jessica Willis Fisher, who will be playing song's from her 2022 release, Brand New Day.
Tune in at 12 PM CST on Friday for the 70s-inspired Folk-Pop of Suzie Brown and Nicki Bluhm, our guests on Finally Friday from Home this week.
