At 6:00, we'll be talking to Greg Lowenhagan, founder and director of the Hopscotch Music Festival, and Nathan Price, co-director and former day party coordinator. We'll discuss festival details, like the Hopscotch Design Festival, Posterscotch, and the SiteWork art exhibitions, and be playing music from Hopscotch artists. WXDU is a proud Hopscotch media partner, and we're excited to bring you this preview ahead of the festival and our post-show coverage. Learn more at hopscotchmusicfest.com/
And at 7:00, John Davis will be in studio talking about his latest project. John is a solo artist and former member and co-founder of the Folk Implosion. He's moved to the Triangle and is working on a new album produced by Scott Solter. The new album goes in a different direction from his 2013 release Spare Parts, and is, as John describes it, "an album of political songs that satirize the presence of empire in our daily diet here in the U.S." John will be talking about his music history, what he's been up to since leaving the Folk Implosion in 2000, the new album, and the Kickstarter campaign he's set up to support it. You can learn more about John and his work at his blog: johnhdavis.com/.
