After working as a nonprofit professional for a dozen years – at orgs ranging in mission from animal welfare, higher ed, voter engagement and teacher advocacy – Celia Gregory returned to her first love, radio, right at the start of WNXP in late 2020. First broadcasting and chatting with artists as a college DJ in the mid-2000s, then hosting a free-format show on an all-volunteer station from 2017-2020, Celia’s found great joy in now serving as staff to help build Nashville’s NPR Music station, especially as weekday morning host communing and commuting with listeners. She’s been honored by the Nashville Scene as “Best Radio Voice” (2022) and #2 Radio DJ (2025) and for Thematic Static, the weekly request show dubbed “Best Live Mixtape” (2023). She loves representing Nashville nationally when tapped as a guest on NPR Music’s All Songs Considered and New Music Friday podcasts. When not pressing buttons in-studio, you can often find her out at shows (so many shows, bless Music City!) sipping west coast IPAs, or posted up in WNXP's Sonic Cathedral performance space talking to music-makers about their craft.

Nashville-native Chapel Bell was infused with a love of music from an early age, though she originally fell in love with performing through clogging (and has the National Champion trophies to prove it)! Her eclectic interest -including pursuing a degree in Geology -are reflected not only by the venues she frequents, but also in the unique musical style as she writes uptempo songs accompanied by thoughtful lyrics. While Chapel loves playing her way across the country (New York, New Jersey, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Mississippi, Alabama and more) her heart is in here in Nashville where she hosts residency's and rounds, enjoys a supportive songwriting community and has played everything from festivals including Pilgrimage Fest, to rock clubs, Broadway bars to churches. She has six singles on all streaming platforms with an EP's worth of live recordings to be released in 2026.

Nashville based artist & songwriter Harper Mundy combines honest and powerful lyrics with lighthearted indie pop production to create a fun and fresh sound- something that makes her a “standout in the music scene” according to Lightning 100. A Kansas City native, Harper moved to Nashville in 2018 to study music at Belmont University, where she graduated in 2022 with a degree in Commercial Voice and Songwriting. Her latest releases caught the attention of Nashville radio stations Lightning 100 and Radio SoBro, landing her spots in their local artist features. Fresh off her first national tour, her debut EP is slated to be released later this year.
