About this episode

Will Hoge and Dave Hause discuss their music and perform live at the Mile of Music Festival.

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.  Country is Here… Nashville is Now.
