Rolling Stone Nashville Now

Will Hoge and Dave Hause, two of roots music’s most incisive songwriters, join Nashville Now live onstage at the Mile of Music Festival in Appleton, Wisconsin, for one of our most charged conversations yet. Both artists toe the line between rock & roll and Americana and use their music to make pointed cultural and political statements. Onstage at Mile of Music, one of the U.S.’s must-attend boutique festivals, Hoge and Hause tell the stories behind songs like Hoge’s “Whose God Is This” and Hause’s “Tarnish” — and perform them live too. Nashville Now and host Joseph Hudak put listeners right in the room with two artists who aren’t afraid to speak truth to power.

Rolling Stone’s Nashville Now podcast goes on the road this week for a very special episode with the legendary Shania Twain. Surrounded by memorabilia from throughout her career, the country music trendsetter welcomes us to her Las Vegas property for a wide-ranging conversation. Twain talks about connecting the dots between Shania the superstar and the young girl who sang in motel bars in her native Canada on her new album Little Miss Twain. She also opens up about putting her singing career on hold to become a caregiver for her siblings following the tragic death of her parents, being embraced by an LGBTQ audience, and why she thinks men like singing along to “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” Twain shares what she sees in the success of Ella Langley too. It’s a conversation with one of country music’s most important artists.
