Yet for the multi-talented veteran musician\, the piano has always been the ultimate place of solace since his childhood days as a classical prodigy. \nIn his youth\, those keys were a sacred space where he found a home immersed in the lyrical glories of Chopin ballades and solo pieces by Satie\, Gabriel Faure and Toru Takemitsu. Throughout his career\, even as the four-time Grammy nominee has amassed hundreds of string credits\, the piano compositions on his solo albums – from his 1998 debut Serenity to his prodigious latest release Dragonfly – reveal a truer artistry that comes alive in a space where he connects with people more deeply and emotionally. \nCo-written and produced\, like Eggar’s 2021 album Awakening\, by drummer\, percussionist and songwriter Chuck Palmer\, Dragonfly is a thematically expansive yet musically intimate collection which\, true to the title’s mythological implications\, finds Eggar exploring the concepts of metamorphosis\, self-realization and the insight of clear vision. It’s all with an eye towards helping us meet the great challenges of a post pandemic world\, rise above the darkness and discover exciting new possibilities. \nWhile most of the pianist’s previous solo albums bear titles reflecting the healing music space (including 2002’s Angelic Embrace)\, the symbolism of the Dragonfly – brilliantly embodied by the colorful\, intricate cover illustration and artwork – made perfect sense as a reflection of a hopeful embrace of a new era. In essence\, it’s a tribute as well to Gomeo\, a Native American philosopher and fan of Eggar’s music who always called the artist “Dragonflyboy” in reference to the combination of courage and fragility he observed in Eggar. Eggar in turn dedicates the graceful\, reflective title track to Gomeo. \n“The pandemic and resulting lockdown freed us from our usual distractions and made us all stop and think about the meaning of our lives\,” says Eggar\, who is releasing Dragonfly in the wake of the two 2023 Grammy nominations earned for his work with clarinetist Tasha Warren on the album Ourself Behind Ourself\, Concealed\, featuring compositions by Paquito D’Rivera and Pascal Le Boeuf. “I look at these realizations and the re-entry into new phases of life as a metamorphosis\, much like the one a dragonfly undergoes from larva to adult. As we re-enter society\, it begs the question: How can we do better and find the beauty within ourselves? \n“On Awakening\,” he adds\, “the songs were vehicles for me to think through and solve issues related to that difficult time. With Dragonfly\, they’re about being more courageous and enlivening. Now that we’re moving into the next chapter of our existence\, how do we strike out in the world? On a personal level\, the darkness where the album begins and ends reflects my working through pain\, looking metaphorically over these past few years as I’ve experienced the transformation from a darkness into a place of light.” \nMuch of the darkness Eggar refers to is rooted in his sorrow over the loss of many special people in his life over the past year. In the album’s credits\, he dedicates Dragonfly to the aforementioned Gomeo as well as Andrew\, Mark and Ronnie. Losing so many in such a short span inspired him to think about his many vectors as a musician. Following the stark\, elegant “Prelude\,” he taps into “The Darkness\,” a graceful hypnotic piece with classical overtones (and the added heartrending texture of his cello harmony) for Andrew\, a close friend who took his own life. \nThe equally soulful\, haunting tune “Sorrow Returns” is for “Ronnie” – a nickname for Rosalyn Freundlich\, a therapist who transformed his lie at an early age\, helping him from his teens through his early 30s. This included the later period of a troubled childhood\, which ran from the highs of being a child prodigy playing the Metropolitan Opera and Carnegie Hall to running away from home. “Ronnie was more than a therapist for me\,” he says. “She was also a very powerful philosopher. Her passing had a significant impact on the recording of Dragonfly.” \nComplementing the gorgeous\, introspective piano pieces – which include “Embark\,” “Encircled\,” “Soliloquy” and “Shards of Light” – are the stately\, dramatic and hopeful “Lullaby of Kingston” (a piano rendition of the title track from his 2010 album Kingston Morning) and two tracks Eggar performs with Bristol Lightning\, the Americana quartet he formed during the quarantine period with talented bluegrass musicians he met and vibed with upon his pandemic-era move from NYC to Bristol\, TN. The group’s Blake Collins (mandolin) and Phil Faconti (guitar) appear with Eggar on the uniquely experimental\, atmosphere-rich\, mood swinging “Memories of New York” and are joined by singer Ashton Davison (providing ethereal wordless vocals) on the trippy and tension filled\, densely percussive classical/bluegrass fusion jam “Road Trip.” \nAt first\, Eggar thought these two Bristol Lightning tracks were too much of a departure from the piano-centric flow of the rest of Dragonfly – but ultimately he loved how everything worked together to capture where he’s coming from in a meditative space while expanding his repertoire\, taking risks and tackling new adventures in his life. “You can go on a road trip to explore new possibilities and also remember New York as it was and find new life there\,” he says. “These songs relate all the possibilities that await us after a long time of struggle. Through all the meditation\, we can find a time for action.” \nThough it is the closing track\, the piano piece “Onwards” flows like an unfinished folk song\, promising more magic to come. Ending with such simplicity harkens back to “Appalachian Spring\,” an enduring work by famed composer Aaron Copland\, who in his later years lived in Eggar’s hometown of Croton-on-Hudson NY and was Eggar’s piano teacher when he was six. It is also a way of acknowledging the pianist’s mellower but still quite vibrant life now in Appalachia\, considered by some to be the birthplace of country music. \nWhile Eggar’s fascinating history as a prodigy usually takes precedence in his official biographies\, it’s the way music helped the Julliard trained musician cop with the struggles of that childhood that tell the deeper story of his evolving genius. In addition to being in great demand with jazz and pop music royalty (Michael Brecker\, David Foster\, Taylor Swift\, Tony Bennett\, Andrea Bocelli and Esperanza Spalding\, among scores of others)\, he has collaborated with the New York City Ballet\, the Jose Limon Company\, Attack Theatre\, Pendulum Aerial Arts\, Shen Wei Dance\, San Francisco Ballet and Complexions Contemporary Ballet. \nEggar has also appeared as a featured soloist with the Thailand Philharmonic\, The Sydney Symphony\, the Melbourne Symphony\, the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic. Over the past few years\, he has collaborated on live events with yoga artist Christiane Sabo\, which allowed him to explore the idea of how emotion and meditation work in tandem. \n“I like the way the music on Dragonfly isn’t just about processing sorrow and loss in a meditative space\, but also opens up a journey from there into once again embracing the world with courage and confidence\,” says Eggar. “I am grateful for the many years I have been with Domo Records\, whose leadership always believed in my unique voice as an artist\, even when I wasn’t sure of myself. With each album\, it’s been wonderfully gratifying to see a substantial increase in people listening. With this little seed planted so long ago\, we’ve built a beautiful world of possibilities.” URL:https://wdvx.com/event/the-wdvx-big-plate-5-22-dave-eggar/ LOCATION:Barley’s\, 200 East Jackson Avenue\, Knoxville\, TN\, 37915\, United States CATEGORIES:Featured Events,Free Live Show,The Big Plate ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://wdvx.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/dave-eggar_WEBSITE.png ORGANIZER;CN="WDVX":MAILTO:info@wdvx.com GEO:35.9708504;-83.9173131 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Barley’s 200 East Jackson Avenue Knoxville TN 37915 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=200 East Jackson Avenue:geo:-83.9173131,35.9708504 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260515T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260515T130000 DTSTAMP:20260610T035812 CREATED:20260429T200012Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260429T200023Z UID:10082465-1778846400-1778850000@wdvx.com SUMMARY:The WDVX Big Plate — 5/15 — Chicken Wire Empire DESCRIPTION:Chicken Wire Empire is a Wisconsin-based bluegrass band known for their dynamic musicality\, thorough arrangements\, and true-to-life songwriting.

For the Garrett Boys\, a family trio from Overton County in east Tennessee\, their history just happens to lend itself to some excellent Appalachian folk music. \nMade up of brothers Stephen and Russell Garrett\, and Stephen’s son Carter\, the Garrett Boys are rooted\, both musically and physically\, in 500 hilly\, wooded acres that have had a magnetic pull over their family for generations. The men refer to it simply as “The Land\,” and it’s the setting for nearly every one of the 11 songs on It Runs Deep\, the trio’s debut album. \n“About 200 years ago\, some Garrett boys came from North Carolina and settled in that area\,” says Stephen\, who plays acoustic guitar and sings lead in the band. “Some old records say that they acquired land between Mill Creek and Mitchell Creek\, and that’s the property that Russell and I grew up on. Carter will be the ninth generation to live on it.” \nBut while the land is specific to the Garrett Boys\, the album the group wrote about it is universal. Produced by Ray Kennedy (Steve Earle\, Lucinda Williams)\, It Runs Deep contains elements of bluegrass\, folk\, and country\, but refuses to play it safe. It nods to their varied influences\, from Steve Earle and Rodney Crowell to Chris Knight and Hank Williams Jr. \nWith It Runs Deep\, the Garrett Boys memorialize those family stories — for themselves\, for their descendants\, and now for fans of classic American folk music. \n“Our music is about the importance and depth of family and community\,” Stephen says. “It’s a mix of what we have been versus what we can become\, and how we can take the good from all that and build a future.” URL:https://wdvx.com/event/the-wdvx-big-plate-2-20-the-garrett-boys/ LOCATION:Barley’s\, 200 East Jackson Avenue\, Knoxville\, TN\, 37915\, United States CATEGORIES:Featured Events,Free Live Show,The Big Plate ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://wdvx.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/the-garrett-boys-2.png ORGANIZER;CN="WDVX":MAILTO:info@wdvx.com GEO:35.9708504;-83.9173131 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Barley’s 200 East Jackson Avenue Knoxville TN 37915 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=200 East Jackson Avenue:geo:-83.9173131,35.9708504 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260213T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260213T130000 DTSTAMP:20260610T035812 CREATED:20260126T161903Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260127T201307Z UID:10082397-1770984000-1770987600@wdvx.com SUMMARY:The WDVX Big Plate – 2/13 – Redd and The Paper Flowers DESCRIPTION:Redd & The Paper Flowers is an Appalachian Folk / Livingroom Folk band from Knoxville\, Tennessee with members Katie Adams (upright bass)\, Colleen d’Alelio (cello)\, Gavin Gregg (mandolin)\, and Redd Daugherty (guitar).

Standing at the intersection of folk\, rock\, and pop\, Day blends heartfelt storytelling\, raw delivery\, and unforgettable melodies into music that feels both fresh and familiar — like rediscovering an old favorite. A self-described writer before anything else\, her perceptive lyricism extends far beyond her 23 years\, with lines reminiscent of songwriting greats like Joni Mitchell and Paul Simon. As the Spokesman-Review notes\, Day has a signature style that features “wordplay\, double-meanings and rhythmic variations\,” with themes ranging from journeying into adulthood to climate change. Many of Day’s songs are also shaped by her intimate relationships\, where her queerness and candor take center stage. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDay is proficient on guitar\, keys\, bass\, and drums\, often switching between instruments during her live performances. At other times\, she lets the music take over — stepping away from the instruments to simply sing and dance with mic in hand. She says she aims to “create an environment of complete presence and joy\, but also healthy catharsis of all the worst emotions.” As the Vanderbilt Hustler highlights\, her set is “energetic\, emotional and full of fun\, just like all of her music.” Fans often leave Day’s shows on a high\, blown away by her powerhouse vocals (drawing comparisons to Brandi Carlile\, Norah Jones\, Alanis Morissette\, and others)\, and charmed by the joy she exudes while onstage. \nAlready boasting over a million streams on a number of songs\, Amelia Day continues to prove herself as both a songwriter and performer\, emerging as a voice destined to resonate for years to come.

The peach trees that were on the fields where the battle took place had recently blossomed and fell with the frost\, covering the dead bodies of the young soldiers like pink snow. As a child growing up in the 1970s\, Mic Harrison had no idea of the significance that Shiloh held in history. He only knew that it was his family’s favorite place for picnics and reunions. \nThose memories make up “Picnic at Shiloh\,” the final track on Harrison’s new album\, “Peach Blossom Youth.” Now a noted singer-songwriter and amateur historian\, Harrison feels the full irony of the sweet memories contrasted with the area’s bloody past. \nHarrison has been writing songs since he was a high school student in Bradford\, Tenn. \n“Even early on I hardly ever wrote songs about girls and all that\,” says Harrison. “I wrote about life\, history… that stuff.” \nHarrison moved to Knoxville in the 1990s to join proto-Americana act The V-Roys\, and later joined power pop favorites Superdrag before recording his solo album “Pallbearer’s Shoes.” When he teamed up with The High Score early in the new millennium he found the perfect collaborators. The band now consists of guitarists Robbie Trosper and Kevin Abernathy\, bassist Vance Hillard and drummer Mark T. Dunn. Harrison’s 20-year collaboration with The High Score has resulted in a stack of albums as well featured spots in music festivals\, including Bonnaroo\, Rhythm N’ Blooms\, and Easyriders Rodeo\, and national tours in elegant concert halls\, sweaty bars\, and listening rooms across America. \nTo make sure the recording of these new songs were as good as possible\, Harrison brought in famed producer Eric “Roscoe” Ambel\, whose credits include producing albums for The Bottle Rockets\, Nils Lofgren\, The Backsliders\, and many others\, co-leading the Del-Lords and The Yayhoos\, as well as playing guitar with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts and Steve Earle. \n“Sonically\, this is the best record we’ve ever done\,” says Harrison. \nNearly all of the songs are about real people – from a West Tennessee character named Bobby Jack\, who inspired “Scrap Iron Man” to a Mexican American War soldier in the song “Dallas Sutton.” \n“A lot of these songs are very personal\,” says Harrison. “It could be a book.” \n“Lose You Over This” was written after a family member’s suicide attempt. “Keep Drivin’” was inspired by a beloved niece being kicked out of church because she is gay. “Old Man” is about Harrison’s late father\, who died of Alzheimer’s disease. \nWith their upbeat melodies and energetic delivery\, it would be easy to miss the sometimes-dark subject matter of Harrison’s new songs. Yet\, that’s what makes this and all of Harrison’s work special. It draws you in and delivers a good time\, but if you care to dig a little deeper\, there’s plenty more to discover. \n– Wayne Bledsoe URL:https://wdvx.com/event/the-wdvx-big-plate-11-21-mic-harrison-the-high-score/ LOCATION:Barley’s\, 200 East Jackson Avenue\, Knoxville\, TN\, 37915\, United States CATEGORIES:Free Live Show,The Big Plate ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://wdvx.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/11-21-Mic-Harrison-The-High-Score.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="WDVX":MAILTO:info@wdvx.com GEO:35.9708504;-83.9173131 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Barley’s 200 East Jackson Avenue Knoxville TN 37915 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=200 East Jackson Avenue:geo:-83.9173131,35.9708504 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251114T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251114T130000 DTSTAMP:20260610T035812 CREATED:20251104T190352Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251104T190352Z UID:10081970-1763121600-1763125200@wdvx.com SUMMARY:The WDVX Big Plate – 11/14 – Phil Faconti Trio DESCRIPTION:Phil Faconti Trio joins us this day bringing the real\, live music!
