This episode, we are joined by composer/musician Michael Hix to discuss the Nashville Ambient Ensemble. What’s the Nashville Ambient Ensemble? Well, quite simply, it’s a group of seven musicians from a range of diverse styles brought together to record an album entitled Cerulean – due out on Cent...

This episode we put together as eclectic of a playlist as we’ve ever had the pleasure of putting together. Sometimes we pair songs together by genre but not this episode, this episode you’re gonna get some quality variety in every set.

Klypi - “Not for You”

Another episode of swirling flavors from all variety of genres. We’d claim that we work hard to present such a variety but the truth is, the Nashville music scene makes it easy. Thanks for listening and enjoy!

The recent Nashville snowpacalypse set us back a week and we couldn’t be more anxious to get all this great new local music out into the world. We slide right in to a full playlist of diverse new offerings spanning all sorts of genres; it’s our bread and butter!

Working our way through a massive backlog of Nashville area music that only grows exponentially every time there’s a Bandcamp Friday. Fourteen tracks are all queued up in this episode for a solid hour of local area offerings across pop, indie, hip-hop, electronic, ambient and other. I’ll let you ...

By pure happenstance, we ended up putting together a playlist comprised entirely of artists that have been played on the show before in one form or another. That’s not to say we aren’t striving to hear all the NEW stuff out there but it just so happens a whole lot of the NEW stuff is from familia...

Every week this show proves the theory that Nashville’s local music scene is a rich and diverse tapestry of styles and genres that stretches well beyond the pigeonholed perceptions of Pop Country and Music Row. This week we may have managed to prove it even more than normal with tracks that hop b...

After last weeks Petty interview, we’re back to our fundamentals with a varietal playlist of local music spanning genres and defying expectations.

After a quick bit of administrative chat about the show moving to a Tuesday release schedule, we dive right in to a playlist that showcases the grand cornucopia of the Nashville music landscape. As we’ve done for the past 230 episodes, we strive to showcase the cities diversity of style and we’re...

We are joined by PETTY for an interview episode about his new #53 Fridays project, his history with the city’s scene and the inevitability of Nashville’s comeuppance.

One of the accidental upsides of doing special episodes like the one we just did with Alex Steed of Nashville Demystified is that finding new music for this show becomes even easier. Added to that, we’re sliding into the Spring Season and new music is coming out on a much faster clip. I’m excited...

As I recorded this episode, Mayor John Cooper announced a slew of changes for bars and restaurants across the city to help fight off the spread of the COVID-19 "Coronavirus" infection...

Generally, when we hit an episode number ending in a zero or five we like to do something a little special, kind of like birthdays once you’re over the age of 35. However, given the widespread changes that are happening all over the place thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, I thought a little bit of...

A quick note, The Nashville Scene has opened up donations to help augment the loss in ad revenue they’re suffering through at the moment over at support.nashvillescene.com. The Scene is an integral part of Nashville, quality journalism and the music scene at large. Hopefully I don’t have to impre...

Much like birthdays, if it ends in a zero or a five, we like to do a little something extra special. This episode we reached out to a number of different guest curators to catch up on how quarantine life is treating them and to hear two song selections from their personal rotations. It felt great...

Many thanks again to Lance Conzett,Caroline Bowman, Olivia Ladd, Kathryn Edwards and Mike Shepherd for joining on last weeks episode. Always nice to get some human interaction and a new viewpoint on local music to be aware of.

That said, this week we get back to basics – local music dug out from...

An episode focusing on fundamentals: showcasing a wide variety of new music across a myriad of genres all from local Nashville artists. It feels great to know that we’re able to include krautrock, off-kilter indie rock, blindingly optimistic pop, Muscle Shoals inspired jams, infectiously goofy ro...

This week, we’ve got another fun playlist of music culled from a variety of sources spanning a number of genres and styles. It’s our bread and butter and we waste no time just diving right in. Do yourself a favor and be sure to follow all the artists included in this episode (and every episode, r...

By just about weights and measures, reaching 200 episodes is a milestone worth celebrating but in regards to We Own This Town Music, a little context is important. This show, as you know it right now, is a weekly podcast showcasing new and interesting releases from the Nashville area. Given that ...

During the 200th episode of the show, a retrospective look back at the fourteen years of coverage we’ve provided for the Nashville music scene, I lamented multiple times at the woeful lack of coverage on hip-hop. Frankly, it goes further than that and we’ve been dismally lacking in music created ...
