Kindling Arts is an organization that helps support and provide the practical infrastructure necessary for creatives to make original, innovative, and independent live performances.

This year's Kindling Arts Festival happens this Thursday (June 23) through Sunday (June 26) at eight different venues across Nashville highlighting over 150 local artists and featuring 22 shows ranging from musicals, comedy, to an opera performance. Jennifer Whitcomb-Oliva, who is featured in the performance art showcase titled Off the Clock, talks about the importance the festival for the Nashville art community.

Leeds band Yard Act recorded their third LP, You're Gonna Need A Little Music, in two separate, months-apart sessions in the U.K. and L.A. split by a tour opening for The Hives. The result is 11 tracks that jump around from the group's trademark English snark -- what singer and lyricist James Smith says is the album's "cynical core" -- to more sun-kissed, optimistic melodies all recorded live in-studio together. We got Smith and bassist Ryan Needham On The Record with WNXP before the record release date.

This week for What Where When-sday, we feature the 6th annual Radnor Lake Art Show taking place this Friday through Sunday at the Walter Criley Visitor Center. The Free community event will include works from 60 artists, with a range of scenes from Radnor Lake and offers an opportunity for the community to directly support conservation efforts through art.

Sherwyn and his twin brother Kendrick was born in Brooklyn before his family moved to Nashville. It was here where he got his first bass, his dad would take him to see jazz shows at 3rd and Lindsley, his older brothers would take him to Limelight, and where him and his twin started making music. Opening for Amber Mark at Brooklyn Bowl back in February was a full circle moment. 

Before the show, he spoke to us about his journey through Nashville that led him to Los Angeles, developing his sound with his brother and as an artists, building frequent collaborators from PawPaw Rod and Samara Cyn, and his involvement in the new Pigeons and Planes compilation album See You Next Year 3.
