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

Join WMOT for an all-ages Americana music event featuring three accomplished performers. Claudia Nygaard is a Nashville-based songwriter known for emotionally raw, introspective storytelling that explores complex themes with honesty and vulnerability. Her recent album has earned recognition on folk and Americana radio charts, and her songwriting has won multiple competitions. Kathleen Hoye brings a distinctive Celtic and folk-influenced sound shaped by her experiences across Ireland and the American South—she's opened for notable artists including Gillian Welch and Iris DeMent. Chip Kinman, a founding member of the pioneering 1970s punk band The Dils, rounds out the lineup. The event is completely free to attend, making it an accessible way to experience live music in an intimate venue setting. Doors open in the late morning, giving families flexibility to arrive when it works for their schedule. This is a great opportunity to discover or revisit Americana music in a relaxed community atmosphere where all ages are welcome.
