John Patrick

WNKU has had a difficult time getting enough of this 25-year-old Nashville-based musician. Don't let her youth fool you, she's hiding a powerful and soulful voice in her small frame. Madi was kind enough to pay WNKU a visit just before she headed over to the Bunbury Music Festival. She also shared some laughs with John Patrick and Bob the engineer.

Many laughs were shared when The Elders paid WNKU's John Patrick, a visit last week. The group shared several stories about their annual returns to front-man Ian Byrne's home in Wicklow, Ireland to perform. Byrne and his American counterparts make up the group, The Elders, who greatly enjoy the challenge of describing their unique sound. The Elders have achieved a very unique sound, and an equally difficult task  is describing exactly what it is that they play.

Produced by Joe Henry, KIN marks the first collaboration between the two writers and is Karr's entry into the world of music.

Scott Miller was kind enough to stop by WNKU's studio to play a few tunes. Though he left behind the rest of the Commonwealth, he managed to bring along a past member of the Commonwealth, Rayna Gellert. Miller and Gellert met at West Virginia's Mountain Stage last year, and have been friends and performing buddies ever since. Together they have a brand new EP entitled, "CoDEPENDENTS". It's a five-song collection of Miller's story-telling songwriting, polished with the talented musical abilities of Rayna Gellert.

Just dug this one out of the vault.  Brett Dennen stopped by to visit back in 2007 and Bob the Engineer shot this video.  This was back before we got all fancy with jib cameras and what not.  Enjoy!
