\n\tWill Hoge<\/a> and Dave Hause<\/a>, two of roots music\u2019s most incisive songwriters, join Nashville Now<\/em> live onstage at the Mile of Music Festival in Appleton, Wisconsin, for one of our most charged podcast 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.\u2019s must-attend boutique festivals<\/a>, Hoge and Hause tell the stories behind songs like Hoge\u2019s \u201cWhose God Is This?\u201d and Hause\u2019s \u201cTarnish\u201d \u2014 and perform them live too.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cIn Nashville, especially in the music business, there\u2019s a lot of talking about this Jesus and then living very differently than any of the books I\u2019ve ever read about your Jesus,\u201d Hoge says of writing \u201cWhose God Is This?\u201d off his 2022 album Wings on My Shoes<\/a><\/em>. \u201cI was always incredibly annoyed by that.\u201d<\/p>\n \n
