ABOUT NPR’s “MAKING NOISE” PODCAST:

THE STORY

One musical narrative has towered above all others in Nashville: the rise and dominance of the country music industry. But that’s not the city’s only history, and Nashville’s troubled relationship with contemporary Black music scenes has gone largely untold — until “Making Noise.” 

This sound-rich, four-part series follows the work of Lovenoise, a locally founded and Black-owned concert promotion company that has been working for two decades to make room for hip-hop, soul and R&B in Nashville’s live music landscape.
