WFMC Jams
WFMC Jams is an online internet radio station committed to bringing you original music as well as your favorite classics from a variety of local artists in the area. The station was founded on June 24, 2012 right after the Third Annual Fam Jam music festival in Manchester, TN. The idea came up as a way to continue to give back to the local and regional songwriters and performers in the area year round by promoting their music.
WFMC Jams was on location at the Mempho Music Festival this weekend. Memphofest is a two-day festival held in Shelby Farms Park, one of the largest urban parks in America featuring multiple stages of live music and a variety of food and concessions. This year's headliners featured The Raconteurs on Saturday night and Brandi Carlile on Sunday. Other major acts included Wu-Tang Clan, Margo Price, DJ Paul of 3 6 Mafia, The Revivalists, Lovelytheband, Valerie June, and many others.
"In the House" at The Grinder House - 10/18/2019 - The Nouveaux Honkies
In mid 2014, Rebecca Dawkins and Tim O’Donnell, of The Nouveaux Honkies, hoisted anchor and set sail in their rebuilt RV. The journey started in South Florida and took them as far west as the Rockies, as far north as the Great Lakes, as far east as Cape Cod, and returned south for the winter. It’s been somewhere around 150 thousand miles, 600 shows, and at least one million smiles that has influenced The Nouveaux Honkies and their Loud In Here CD release in March of 2018. The New Year will also see TNH with a permanent residence in Knoxville, TN. O’Donnell says, “We based out of Tennessee the last two summers and fell in love with the Smokies. Knoxville will be a wonderful spring through fall hub for traveling and we also love this little city.” Their 2015 release, “Blues For Country,” masterfully blended styles. Their new release, “Loud In Here,” is a continuance of that same concept, respecting the greats and creating their own gumbo, which reveals a highway of influences.
"In the House" at the Grinder House is broadcast live on WFMC Jams every Friday from 6-8pm central.
