WMOT Finally Friday featuring Claudia Nygaard , Kathleen Hoye & Chip Kinman 2026

WMOT Finally Friday brings together three compelling songwriters for an afternoon of Americana music at 3rd and Lindsley. Each performer offers a distinct voice, from Claudia Nygaard's visceral storytelling to Kathleen Hoye's folk-infused Celtic soundscapes and Chip Kinman's punk-rooted DIY ethos.

Nygaard's lyrics cut deep, often tackling raw subjects with unflinching honesty. Hoye draws from her time in Ireland and the American South, crafting a chamber-folk style that has opened for icons like Gillian Welch and Iris Dement. Kinman, a founding member of the seminal punk band The Dils, shifts gears with politically charged songs that remain relevant.

The intimate setting of 3rd and Lindsley provides a perfect backdrop for this eclectic lineup, making for a memorable afternoon of live music in Music City.
