SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special — 7/25 — Chris Long / James Leigh and The Rest
DESCRIPTION:Singer-songwriter Chris Long\, music is an adventure that keeps getting better and better. He grew up with a father who was a musician\, and learned to play guitar at age 12. Since then\, the adventure’s just kept going. Chris Long writes and performs music from the Heartland\, Roots Rock & Americana genres.   \nChris played in two bands with his father in the late 90s and early 2000s. They played together in the bands Sloe Ginn and Stonewall Gray. Since then\, he’s moved away from performing with a group to focus on a career as a solo singer-songwriter. He has performed across the US and internationally\, including performances at Nashville’s famed Bluebird Cafe and The Commodore.  Chris has graced the stages of Dollywood’s famed DreamMore Resort\, Jim Oliver’s Smokehouse and the infamous WDVX “Blue Plate Special” along with radio & television appearances.  \nChris’s music blends Americana and rock to create a rough yet classic sound. His focus is on telling stories of everyday life and the world around him through his songs. He’s heavily influenced by Bruce Springsteen\, John Mellencamp\, and Creedence Clearwater Revival. The sounds of classic rock come through in his music. He’s also a history teacher\, something that’s had a strong impact on his songwriting. He says\, “For me\, music has to mean something. I love songs that speak about life and the world we live in. That’s the music that tells our story. That’s the music we carry with us throughout life.” \n \nJames Leigh and The Rest are a rock band whose sound blends the raw energy of 60s rock with the emotional depth of modern songwriting. With heartfelt lyrics that strike a universal chord\, their music is as much about storytelling as it is about the catharsis of raw\, powerful melodies. Formed with a shared love for timeless influences like The Gaslight Anthem\, Bruce Springsteen\, 60s rock classics\, and 90s country\, the band creates songs that feel both nostalgic and fresh—offering a soundtrack for the broken-hearted and the hopeful alike.\nThe band features Jimmy Morris on lead vocals and guitar\, whose gritty\, soulful voice serves as the emotional anchor to their music. Alan Griffin lays down the groove on bass\, while Chris Suggs’ guitar work brings the perfect blend of twang and grit\, channeling everything from classic rock to alt-country. Drummer Paul Lowe provides a steady\, rhythmic backbone\, helping bring the band’s dynamic energy to life.\nTheir latest release\, Lost\, is a collection of tracks that feel like they’ve been carved from the pain of personal experience. With lyrics that speak to love\, loss\, and the search for meaning\, the album shows the band’s evolution while staying true to the raw\, honest sound they’ve built since their formation. Each song resonates with a sense of longing\, as if plucked straight from a broken heart—but it’s that very vulnerability that connects with listeners on a deeper level.\nJames Leigh and the Rest have proven that their music isn’t just about the notes they play\, but the emotions they stir. As they continue to tour and share their stories with the world\, they remain committed to writing songs that speak to the heart\, one beat at a time.

SUMMARY:The WDVX Big Plate — 7/24 — Levi Foster
DESCRIPTION:When Levi Foster flew to Los Angeles carrying a 1966 Martin guitar and a stack of restless songs that didn’t quite fit Nashville’s modern mold\, he wasn’t chasing polish\, he was chasing freedom. The result is Foster’s second full-length album Appalachian Funk Tree (out October 9\, 2026)\, produced by Shooter Jennings at the legendary Snake Mountain (Sunset Sound Studio 3) in Hollywood. \nAt a moment when mainstream country continues to lean sleek and radio-ready\, Foster’s music digs into something stranger and more unpredictable. The 13 tracks on Appalachian Funk Tree blend mountain gospel spirit\, Red Dirt attitude\, new and traditional Country\, and Americana storytelling that feels lived-in rather than manufactured. Jennings\, known for championing artists who exist outside traditional boundaries\, approached the project less as a producer chasing perfection and more as a collaborator helping Foster build a sonic world where humor\, chaos\, and hard-won truths could coexist. \nLevi Foster writes songs that feel like tall tales told at the end of a long night – part humor\, part hard truth\, and always rooted in the storytelling traditions of American music. “Fat Elvis\,” the first song released off the album\, is a rowdy\, cinematic introduction to Foster’s evolved sound. What began as a late-night joke among friends sparked by the line in the song “sweatin’ like fat Elvis on a postcard down in Memphis\, Tennessee” quickly evolved into something larger. Set against the chaos of Mardi Gras in New Orleans\, “Fat Elvis” unfolds like a hazy fever dream of American excess and hard-earned lessons\, blending humor with a darker reflection on fading icons\, bad decisions\, and the strange mythology we build around ourselves.   The track signals a new chapter for an artist determined to push beyond genre lines without abandoning his roots. \nFoster’s songs wander through strange characters\, human flaws\, and the kind of moments that feel too real to be made up. As the Country and Americana landscape continues to evolve\, Appalachian Funk Tree positions Foster among a new wave of artists willing to challenge genre expectations while staying rooted in the storytelling spirit that defines country music at its core.

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special — 7/14 — Tom Hampton / Trae Sheehan
DESCRIPTION:A few songs into the new Tom Hampton album “A Month Of Somedays”\, it’s easy to get the sense that these songs have been simmering on low heat over the course of several soul-searching years. Hampton is certainly no stranger to the studio – on his own behalf or in the service of records by Craig Bickhardt\, Dan May\, Mustangs of the West\, Michael Braunfeld\, Chris Canterbury\, or Cimarron 615 (the band he formed with fellow ex-Poco members in the wake of the 2021 death of their founder\, Rusty Young). Still\, the drought between releases of original material has been a long one. \nHis years as a journeyman multi-instrumentalist and sideman are bookended by his initial foray into music as a singer/songwriter – he released his critically acclaimed debut “Our Mutual Angels” in 1997 while simultaneously heeding the call as a session player based on his demonstrated adeptness on multiple instruments during those recording sessions. After finding himself disillusioned by the demands of driving a solo career\, the transition became an easy way to hide in plain sight – “For me\, it meant that I could still play music in front of people\, I could still make records\, but I was relieved of the pressures of blowing my own horn\,” he remembers. \nOver the course of subsequent years playing sessions in Philadelphia and touring with John Lilley of the Hooters\, Philadelphia legend Robert Hazard\, the band Idlewheel (which featured Craig Bickhardt and Poco bassist Jack Sundrud) and a stint on the road with southern rockers the Marshall Tucker Band\, he made several homemade albums on a recreational basis but his focus on songwriting had taken a backseat to his instrumental craft. After relocating to Nashville and an invitation to join the pioneering country rock band Poco\, he felt ready to settle into his new role in a band he’d loved since his teenage years – until the pandemic sidelined the notion of touring. With Young’s subsequent passing and the formulation of the band that grew out of the final Poco lineup\, Hampton rediscovered his yellow legal pad. \n“I knew I’d be expected to contribute songs to the record\, and that I’d have to sharpen that skill set again and shake off the rust\, but it was as if I opened up a vein\,” he recalled. “I must have written a dozen songs when we started collecting material for the record\, and I haven’t really slowed down since.” \nThat rediscovered voice in these latter day songs owes as much to Jason Isbell and John Moreland as it does to formative influences like Jackson Browne and Stephen Stills – his songs touch on fleeting intimate unspoken moments during late night drives\, searching for renewal and reconnection in relationships\, and the struggles of balancing ones’ dreams with the need to survive. \nOther songs are conversational confrontations of bigotry (“Wrong Side of History”) or character studies of other lives he’s intersected with on his path. “Disappear” is a peek into the story of original Poco drummer George Grantham\, who lived with Hampton and his family for a year while transitioning into assisted living for treatment for dementia. “Gasoline” is the meditation of a truck stop cashier whose days are spent watching everyone else en route to somewhere else while they stand frozen behind the counter\, and “The Ghost Of The Girl With The Smiling Eye”s recounts an imagined conversation between an encountered stranger and Hampton’s longtime friend\, legendary Philadelphia disc jockey Michael Tearson. “That Song You Used To Know” is told through the eyes of a touring musician in a band whose setlist is chiseled in stone by its long-past chart successes. \nIndeed\, when listening to the songs on “A Month Of Somedays”\, it’s hard not to ponder the records Hampton would’ve made if he’d stayed on his initial path – but those thoughts are dismissed in conversation. “I can’t let myself get caught up in hypotheticals – this is happening right when it’s supposed to be happening.” \n \nIn yonder realm of olde\, where the Appalachian mountains stand tall and proud\, there lived a troubadour of nomadic descent named Trae Sheehan.\nBorn into the rustic life of an Alpaca farm\, Trae was raised in the beauty of the Appalachian valley\, but his heart yearned for a life beyond the rolling hills. \nFrom a tender age\, he discovered his love for the melodies that danced upon the winds\, whispering secrets of the world around him. He would spend hours beneath the starry canopy\, strumming his guitar and composing songs that told tales of love\, loss\, and the wonders of life. His voice\, smooth as the air\, carry his ballads far and wide. \nIn 2019\, Trae Sheehan’s album Arizona soared to the Top 10 on the Roots Radio Charts\, casting his warming melodies far and wide. With lyrics as vast as the woodland landscape\, the album echoed through valleys and towns\, drawing listeners to the troubadour’s stage. His songs\, imbued with the timeless spirit of the road\, spoke to their hearts\, soothing their worries and kindling the fires of hope. \nHis 2020 follow-up record\, Postcards from the Country\, earned praise from the likes of American Songwriter Magazine\, PopMatters\, and The Bluegrass Situation\, solidifying Trae’s place in the musical world. But it was 2021’s Hello From the End of the World that truly marked his ascent. Featuring the fan-favorite “Sleeveless Hearts\,” the album charted in the Top 100 on the Americana Radio Charts. \nThrough bustling cities and quaint hamlets\, Trae has crafted his talent. Drawing townsfolk from far and near to witness his enchanting performances\, his heart forever entwined with the thrill of touring\, for it is on the road that he has discovered the true essence of his being. From the grandest stages to the humblest street corners\, he performs and sings with a passion unmatched. His troubadour’s soul finding solace in the applause of a jubilant crowd and in the quiet moments of reflection beneath a starlit sky. \n

SUMMARY:The WDVX Big Plate — 7/10 — Anders Thomsen Trio
DESCRIPTION:Anders Thomsen has deep roots. This midwestern boy grew up on the music that makes America. The Twang of the Opry on a Saturday night\, the Rock n Roll on the stereos in the Chevys and the Fords and the Blues and Soul spilling out of the nightclubs he snuck into. He heard all that and made it his own. \nHe picked up the heartbreak and the joy of the blues\, and matched it with the lonesome\, lovelorn hillbilly waltz and powered it all with those rock and roll V-8s. \nHe got an early start\, playing in bars and nightclubs before he was old enough to drive\, sometimes even with a note from his mother.  He sang\, played guitar\, played bass and even played the washtub. Anything to get him on stage to learn the craft.

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special — 7/9 — Shelby Kemp / Andy Thomas
DESCRIPTION:Shelby Kemp: Singer. Guitarist. Mississippian. \n \nThere’s a heaviness when you listen to Andy Thomas’ latest album\, Highway Junkie. Not only from the swamp rock meets honkytonk melodies\, but also the underlying tone and hard truths of this whirlwind journey of a singer-songwriter pushing into the next phase of his promising career. \n“It’s crazy when you set everything aside and put your mind to something\,” Thomas says. “I’m a hard worker\, and this album is a product of that.” \nHailing from Richmond\, Virginia\, Thomas has worked his way up the ranks as an electrifying guitarist up and down the East Coast\, whether it’s fronting his own wild-n-out project The Trongone Band or being the six-string rocket fuel for the melodic muscle car that is acclaimed Americana act Yarn. \n“I’ve known for a long time that I was wired for this life\,” Thomas says of being a musician and performer. “[The road and the stage] feels like home for me. I love playing\, traveling\, and getting the inspiration to write — it’s where I feel most at peace.” \nProduced by fellow Richmond native and longtime friend Dave Schools\, the legendary bassist for Widespread Panic\, and captured at the renowned Spacebomb Studios\, Highway Junkie connects the dots of Thomas’ troubled past and hard-fought strength of self in the present. \nThe 12-LP is the culmination of years of trials and tribulations\, of triumphs and the continued resolve to harness one’s potential. But\, more so\, in the game of life for Thomas\, whose sobriety in recent years has become a deep source of stability and continued motivation — this unrelenting quest to seek out long-held dreams once thought to be too far beyond the horizon of one’s intent. \n“I’m still navigating [sobriety] every day\, but once I got into the thick of it\, after a few months\, I was able to find new things to replace ‘all that\,’” Thomas says candidly and happily. “I was able to refine my love for music\, and why I did it. I’ve got a story. I know I have a purpose on this earth\, and I need that to translate into my music — if I can beat this\, I can do anything.” \nWith Highway Junkie soon to released\, Thomas is already headlong into planning out an upcoming tour in support of the record. The wheels are turning — either along the endless pavement of the open road or within the restless mind of Thomas himself — amid this unfolding landscape of creativity and compassion he’s living and thriving in\, constantly fueled by his own unrelenting drive to see just what lies ahead for his music\, and for his life. \n“You just need to count the wins and be grateful\,” Thomas says. “And this album is a token of gratitude — this is why I’m doing everything I’m doing.”

SUMMARY:The WDVX Big Plate — 7/3 — Robinella
DESCRIPTION:Robinella’s career began with a sort of luck that rarely comes to most artists within their lifetime.  What started out as a simple husband-and-wife duo fresh out of college quickly grew to a full-fledged band that blended Bluegrass\, Country and Jazz. The combination of Robinella’s honey-sweet vocals with violin\, mandolin\, bass\, drums and piano captivated audiences\, thus creating the ever popular Robinella & the CC Stringband. \nThey released their first album\, self-titled Robinella and The CC Stringband\, in 2000\, which quickly followed\, No Saint\, No Prize in 2001. Both were on the independent label Big Gulley Records. With a few simple twists of fate\, what followed was a whirlwind of rapid success – Columbia Records liked what they heard and signed Robinella in 2002. The label took seven songs from the band’s two prior albums and released them as the CD Blanket for My Soul and then released a full album in 2003\, Robinella and the CC Stringband. This led to a national tour including opening for such artists as Bob Dylan\, Willie Nelson\, Earl Scruggs\, Nickel Creek\, Robert Earl Keen\, Kasey Chambers\, Del McCoury and Rodney Crowell as well as an appearance on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” and a music video on CMT for their hit single\, “Man Over”.  She also performed on NPR’s “Mountain Stage\,” appeared on the Grand Ole Opry and performed on PBS’s “SoundStage.” In 2006\, Robinella was nominated for “Emerging Artist of the Year” at the Americana Music Awards and released her fourth album\, “Solace for the Lonely”\, on Dualtone Records in Nashville. \nBut then life\, as it has a tendency to do\, threw a few curveballs her way. She became a mom and a couple of years later\, she and her husband/musical partner split up with a new record almost completed. Exhausted and somewhat disillusioned with the industry and its promises\, it was time to regroup\, redefine and get back to her roots. So she returned to her home\, the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains\, and got back in touch with what she truly wanted – love\, family\, friendship\, music\, art\, truth. \nWith that comes her latest release\, “Fly Away Bird”\, her most mature work. However\, within the melancholy and touches of sadness there is not true despair. For such a voice — that dazzling\, warm\, bright-as-summer-sunshine soprano — to even communicate it would most likely defy certain laws of emotional physics. No\, instead\, this album\, beneath the disappointments\, she is brimming with optimism — with hope. You can feel it\, and even more important than that\, you believe — because she believes\, and because her music is so honest and so genuine and so forthright that you just can’t help but knowing that this is an artist who still finds life to be magical.

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special — 6/29 — Starting September / David Easterling
DESCRIPTION:Hollis Rivenbark is the frontman\, lead vocalist \, rhythm guitarist and song writer for Starting September\, joined by BELL on drums and Jeffery McMurray on lead guitar. \nBorn in San Diego to a Navy family and raised between the US and Naples Italy\, Hollis grew up surrounded by music. The child of touring musical theatre performers\, she’s been on stage since she was seven\, and writing her own songs since she was fourteen. \nAfter being handed a guitar in high school and told to learn a Beatles song in a week\, she never put it down. Over the past decade\, she’s performed across California\, Utah\, Georgia\, and Tennessee\, building her sound through years of live shows and intimate venues. \nInfluenced by Neko Case\, Elliot Smith\, and Phoebe Bridgers. Starting September blends haunting vocals with introspective songwriting and acoustic-driven alternative textures. Their 2026 single\, “Serenity\,” captures the fragile space between heartbreak and hope in the early days of sobriety. \n \nDavid Easterling is a multi‑award‑winning Americana\, folk\, roots\, and comedy singer‑songwriter\, storyteller\, and recording artist who splits his time between Nashville\, New Orleans\, and Oak Ridge\, Tennessee—when he’s not out on the road. A prolific creative with international acclaim\, David writes or co‑writes over 100 songs a year with collaborators around the world\, and his catalog has been recorded\, released\, and performed by a growing roster of artists. \nFrom the Grand Ole Opry stage\, his co‑write “Losin’” with Alicia Harvey was named the 2024 Josie Music Awards Song of the Year (Country/Female). His own “Buried Before My Time” spent several weeks at #1 on the ReverbNation regional Americana charts\, while “Take Me Back To Tennessee” was voted the 2023 Song of the Year (Songs About Home) by the Cumberland Mountain Song Crafters Guild. Additional accolades include “You Can Have Wichita” (with J. T. Redding) earning finalist honors in the SongDoer Competition and a semi‑finalist spot in the U.K. Songwriting Contest. \nOnstage\, David is as much storyteller as troubadour\, weaving humor\, heart\, and hard‑won truth into every set. He performs throughout the Southeast\, the Midwest up to Wisconsin\, and annually on his five‑week Nashville‑to‑NOLA summer tour—yes\, including a stop at The Rising Sun. In Nashville\, his shows have included 12 Keys Saloon\, The Commodore\, Millennium Maxwell House\, Springwater\, Bobby’s Idle Hour\, NashVox Studios\, and more. \nDavid’s media footprint spans radio\, TV\, and podcasts: multiple appearances on Knoxville’s WDVX Blue Plate Special\, The Listening Room\, and The David Bradley Show in Nashville; Music City on the Mountain (HLE Radio); WKLF 95.5 FM; K2K Radio in London; and airplay reaching as far as Australia. He has released seven albums of original music\, with more on the way\, and helms Hey Bear Music Entertainment (BMI). \nWhether he’s trading verses in a Nashville writer’s room\, swapping stories in a New Orleans club\, or bringing an Oak Ridge porch song to life onstage\, David Easterling delivers songs that travel well and are built to linger.
