We are officially in the holiday season and this week for What Where When-sday, we feature the Alex Murphy Trio presents Charlie Brown Thanksgiving happening at Rudy’s Jazz Room. Although this event isn’t until November 23rd and 26th, their previous Halloween show, The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown sold out. Murphy will bring A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving by Vince Guaraldi to life in an evening of soulful, swinging jazz that captures the heart of this Peanuts classic. Murphy, who performs regularly and teaches at the Nashville Jazz Workshop, describes Guaraldi’s work and how it influenced him.

Dystopian fiction has dominated screens and pages for a while now but a Nashville-based artist may have just crafted the first dystopian emo album. In some ways it sounds like what if the band Pinegrove made a soundtrack for a Hollywood doomsday epic with big choruses and a deeply personal backstory. 

Ok, maybe that’s a little reductionist, but it approaches some of the underlying sounds and themes presented on The Soft Apocalypse, the debut album by Henry J. Star. That's the artist name of Devin J. Badgett, originally from Knoxville, who says this truly is a concept album about the end of the world told through the lens of three characters. During his Sonic Cathedral interview with WNXP, Devin shared the stories behind the songs, the intense process of bringing this album to life and how he faces hard truths through music.

William Edmondson was the first African American artist to have a solo show at the Museum of Modern Art in 1937. He was a self-taught limestone carver who carved tombstones and garden ornaments at his workshop, which sat outside of his house in Edgehill. Although he had no intention of being a career artist, he became a trailblazer.

For the last 20 years the site where he had worked and lived has been used as a neighborhood park in South Nashville’s Edgehill neighborhood. William Edmondson Homesite Park and Gardens formed in 2018 when the city tried to sell the property and their mission is to foster a creative, vibrant, and safe public space for all of Nashville to enjoy. The fourth annual William Edmondson Arts and Culture Fest (We Fest) happening this Saturday is a free, family friendly event looks bring to the forefront the importance of William Edmondson and his work.

Nashville indie crew Snooper went from the city’s underground DIY scene to international festival favorites and critical darlings thanks to their over-the-top live shows and their Third Man Records release Super Snooper, a compilation of re-recorded versions of their previously released material. While they emerged from the “egg punk” sub-genre, they’ve set themselves up to grow beyond that scene with their debut Worldwide. It was produced in Los Angeles with John Congelton the studio whiz who has worked on everyone from Phoebe Bridgers to Earl Sweatshirt, and explores the edges of the band’s sound while still retaining their furious pace and sharp, social commentary. In their discussion with WNXP they cover the choice of Congleton, why the egg punk label doesn’t bother them, how Devo’s art-first ethos inspired their approach and, when it comes to their aesthetic, why “fun doesn’t mean that it’s silly.”
