SUMMARY:Graham Nash — Live at the Bijou — 7/29
DESCRIPTION:Get Tickets Here! \nNash is a two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee\, with Crosby\, Stills\, and Nash\, and with the Hollies. He was also inducted twice into the Songwriters’ Hall of Fame\, as a solo artist and with CSN\, and he is a GRAMMY Award winner. \nTowering above virtually everything that Graham Nash has accomplished in his multi-faceted career stands the litany of songs that he has written and introduced to the soundtrack of the past half-century. His remarkable body of work\, beginning with his contributions to the Hollies opus\, including “On a Carousel” and “Carrie Anne\,” continues all the way to Now (2023)\, his most recent solo album. \nThe original classic union of Crosby\, Stills & Nash (& Young) lasted but twenty months.  Yet their songs are lightning rods embedded in our DNA\, starting with Nash’s “Marrakesh Express\,” and “Lady of the Island\,” from the first Crosby\, Stills & Nash LP (1969)\, and “Teach Your Children” and “Our House” on CSNY’s Déjà Vu (1970). \nNash’s solo career debuted with Songs For Beginners (1971)\, which included “Chicago/We Can Change the World” and “Military Madness” and others. In addition to his string of solo albums\, he has performed and recorded with David Crosby as Crosby/Nash. Their eponymously titled Graham Nash/David Crosby (1972) is bookended by Nash’s “Southbound Train” and “Immigration Man”.

SUMMARY:AJ Lee & Blue Summit — Live at the Bijou — 7/24
DESCRIPTION:Get Tickets Here! \nAJ Lee & Blue Summit are an award-winning\, energetic\, charming\, and technically jaw-dropping band quickly rising on the national roots music scene. Originally based in Santa Cruz\, California\, the group met as teenagers\, picking and jamming together as kids at local bluegrass festivals until one day\, they decided they would be a band. After almost a decade on the road\, they have established themselves as one of the most exciting and dynamic groups in Bluegrass. \nThe band is AJ Lee on mandolin\, fiddler Jan Purat\, Sullivan Tuttle on guitar\, and Sean Newman on Bass. The band carries that youthful\, festival-parking-lot energy with them still today\, but at the same time there’s a genuine ease and confidence to their music making. Their critically acclaimed third studio album City Of Glass was released on Signature Sounds records in 2024. 2025 saw the release of a series of covers featuring guests such as Lindsay Lou\, Trey Hensley\, Ahn Phung and Kyle Tuttle called Cover to Cover V.1.  \nCover to Cover V1 explores the wide variety of musical interests and influences that have helped AJ Lee & Blue Summit develop their unique sound as a band. “Tear My Stillhouse Down”\, featuring guest vocals from Bluegrass and Americana powerhouse Lindsay Lou\, comes from one of AJ’s favorite singers and songwriters\, Gillian Welch. The band pays tribute to their California roots with a steaming Bluegrass version of New Riders of the Purple Sages “Glendale Train” featuring Molly Tuttle and Golden Highway’s own Kyle Tuttle (no relation!). Sully Tuttle\, Molly’s younger brother\, takes the lead on the early jazz burner “Who Walks In (When I Walk Out)” which features inspiring guest appearances from Grammy Award winning guitarist Trey Hensley and renowned flutist Ahn Phung. AJ takes back the lead on a striking rendition of the country classic “Takes One to Know One”. The EP closes out with former member Scott Gates taking the lead on his country ballad style rendition of The Monkees class and Shrek famous “I’m a Believer”. \nAJ Lee & Blue Summit are an exemplary band so unconcerned with being remembered\, with being enshrined\, that they have gone about playing songs that will surely be held onto and cherished forever.

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:WDVX Summer Nights - 7/22 - Bronwyn / The Naughty Knots
DESCRIPTION:WDVX Summer Nights\nWednesday\, July 22\, 2026 | Doors 6:00 PM | Show 7:00 PM\nYee-Haw Brewing\, Knoxville\, TN\nFREE | All Ages \nWDVX is proud to present another night of free live music on the big stage at Yee-Haw Brewing for the 2026 Summer Nights concert series! \nBronwyn has long been renowned as a prolific instrumentalist\, earning two IBMA Fiddle Player of the Year awards as well as a Grammy for her work with Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway. \nAs a child\, music lessons gradually transitioned into public performances\, with a particular emphasis on Irish music after her family relocated to Charlottesville\, Virginia. And her lifelong musical education continues to shape her work today. A background in dance makes her a captivating and energetic live performer. An on-stage collaboration with fellow Charlottesville native Dave Matthews taught her how a crowd could feed your energy. And attending Berklee during the early years of its American Roots Music program offered inspiration from classmates like Sierra Hull and Alex Hargreaves—as well as an introduction to Tuttle and most of Bronwyn’s Golden Highway bandmates.  “My favorite bluegrass musicians today are the ones who are rooted in traditional music\, but don’t really see any boundaries\,” she says. “It’s as if they draw from a traditional bluegrass vocabulary\, but use it to say what they want to say.” \nNow\, as her own entry in bluegrass history expands from celebrated instrumentalist to bandleader and frontwoman\, Bronwyn isn’t just crafting a career in the image of genre greats like Sam Bush and Jerry Douglas; she’s bringing them along for the ride. Both Bush and Douglas are featured as players on her latest album I Built a World\, and they’re not the only of Bronwyn’s musically-inclined pals and heroes to make an appearance. \nOpening this evening will be The Naughty Knots\, with includes WDVX’s own Sarah Pirkle! \nThanks to our sponsors: Yee-Haw Brewing\, ORNL Federal Credit Union\, and Garza Law. \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 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:Josiah and the Bonnevilles: The Redline North American Tour — Live at the Bijou — 7/1
DESCRIPTION:Click here for tickets! \nJosiah Leming has paid his dues. As a teenager from East Tennessee\, his devotion to music led him to hit the road\, where he lived in his car and played for anyone who would listen. That took him all the way to a major record deal when he was only nineteen. When that ended\, he refused to give up and became an indie artist\, relying solely on the music and his undeniable gift for crafting relatable songs that led to a devoted fan base he calls the Bonnevilles. He appreciates them so much that he includes them in his artist name. “They’re the reason I’m able to make music\,” he says. \n2024 saw Josiah and the Bonnevilles reaching new heights\, completing a headlining tour of thirty-three sold-out dates followed by a slew of international stops that proved his global following. He has become known for raw emotion and a profound connection to his audience. This newfound attention has led to much anticipation for his new album — and As Is lives up to the expectations. \n“I knew I had a responsibility to try to become a better writer\, a better artist\,” he says. “One day that feels like a blessing\, and the next it feels pretty intimidating.” Instead of reproducing his popular sound from the self produced “Endurance”\, he decided to expand it. “I think it would have been hard to keep my excitement to go out on the road with another kind of acoustic record.” \nHis tenth studio album finds him going more electric than ever before\, even as he unplugs from the digital world. “I feel like a grizzled old veteran at this point\,” he says\, even though he is only thirty-six. “I’m desiring quiet\, a work space away from the internet…I felt like it was important to pull back this last year and try to understand what’s on my heart.” What he found there resulted in an album focusing on joy\, sorrow\, and working-class issues that feel very of the moment in a time when so many Americans are struggling to make ends meet. \nLeming comes by his empathy for working people honestly. He’s one of nine siblings\, born and raised in Morristown\, Tennessee\, right in the heart of Appalachia. He taught himself piano when he was eight and was writing songs by thirteen. As a child he was intently aware of his community and intensely proud of his people\, something he thinks about even more in these trying times. “I look at my folks in East Tennessee and very few of them seem to be winning in this new world\,” Leming says. “Being a regular person\, working\, trying your best. I think that’s something to be proud of.” \nHis records have always been intensely personal. But on As Is he wanted to step away from being the main character and instead use vignettes to express essential truths he has learned. “I want anyone to be able to put it on and not think about me when they’re listening. I want them to be in the emotion.” Because of this he made a conscious choice to not include himself on the album cover. \nLeming chose ten tracks from ninety-six songs he has written over the last year and a half. As Is features the most co-writes he has ever recorded. “I love writing alone\, but I wanted to bring in some trusted partners on this one\,” he says. The resulting list features some of the most acclaimed songwriters working today. There’s Nashville powerhouse Natalie Hemby\, a two-time Grammy winner who has written for everyone from Lady Gaga to Miranda Lambert; Joel Little\, a Grammy winner who has written with Lorde\, Taylor Swift\, Noah Kahan\, and many others; Scott Harris\, best known for work he’s produced or written for artists such as Shawn Mendes\, Dua Lipa\, and The Chainsmokers; and others. \nTo help him find the sound he hoped to achieve\, Leming brought in Konrad Snyder as a co-producer. Snyder has engineered or produced some of the best work to come out of Nashville in the last decade\, including tracks by Kacey Musgraves\, Stephen Sanchez\, and Noah Kahan. “It was an amazing partnership with Konrad\,” Leming says. “I never had to touch a computer or a piece of gear; he’s a whiz with all that stuff. I’m usually so hands-on with my stuff\, switching between setting up\, tracking and editing but on this record I got to just perform the songs.” \nThe songs on As Is feature Leming’s vivid sense of place\, precise yet poetic lyrics\, and  emotion that is always longingly expressed by his vulnerable vocals. This collection is more up-tempo than most of his work\, which is something Leming and Snyder strived to make happen on about half the songs. “I was thinking a lot about the energy\, of having a couple songs that can amp up people at live shows\,” he says. \nThis power is especially apparent on songs like opening track “Good Boy”\, which boils toward a rousing breakdown\, “Carolina Heart”\, a tune Leming calls “less existential and my attempt at a feel-good song\,“ and “Going Gone”\, a nostalgic track about the passage of time. “Mountain Girl” is a foot-tapping harmonica-led tribute to Appalachian women. There’s the jaunty rock of “Redline”\, and a song called “One Day at a Time” that is sure to resonate with anyone who has ever struggled with addiction\, depression\, or a lack of confidence. Leming’s fans often cite his storytelling abilities as one reason they love his work\, and that takes center stage on the title track\, a spoken-word song. “Where It Starts” is a meditation on how heartache can lead to great art. The first single is the powerful “Hell Without the Flames\,” the album’s darkest track that also showcases some of the best lyrics and vocals of his career. \nThey all make for a collection of songs that take the listener full circle. “I just want people to be able to see themselves in the songs.” \nThat’s what it’s all about for Leming. “The only goal for me is to make something real\, and honest\, and that can get them through the day\,” he says. “I gave everything I have for this album. I laid it all on the table\, which is what I always want to do.” As Is proves to be all of that\, and more\, a milestone for one of our most authentic and resonant artists working today.

SUMMARY:WDVX Summer Nights - 6/17 - Redd & The Paper Flowers / Ettore Buzzini
DESCRIPTION:WDVX Summer Nights\nWednesday\, June 17\, 2026 | Doors 6:00 PM | Show 7:00 PM\nYee-Haw Brewing\, Knoxville\, TN\nFREE | All Ages \nWDVX is proud to present another night of free live music on the big stage at Yee-Haw Brewing for the 2026 Summer Nights concert series! \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRedd & The Paper Flowers’s origin begins in 2021 when Redd Daugherty met Gavin Gregg at Carolina Ale House in Knoxville\, TN. Former bassist\, Will Ross\, invited Gavin to play a set\, and since then\, Redd and Gavin have been inseparable.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKatie Adams and Colleen d’Alelio were first introduced to Redd and Gavin at the Open Chord Open Mic in Knoxville\, TN\, as they were building community in a new city. They completed their bachelors at Ithaca University and moved to Knoxville during Katie’s master’s degree completion at The University of Tennessee. \nThe group hit a rough patch in February of 2023 after the tragic murder of Redd’s dear friend\, Jason Cooper\, by his roommate. Coop left Rush’s Music\, a local band instrument rental store that services 90 schools and roughly 3\,000 students\, to Redd without her knowledge. Redd began working at Rush’s in 2011 through her bachelor’s and master’s degrees before ultimately quitting to teach high school English at L&N STEM Academy–a local\, public magnet school in Knoxville. It was at Rush’s Music where she met and befriended Coop\, and they remained dear friends until his untimely death. \nTheir debut album\, Appalachian Bell Jar\, which they began tracking in January of 2023\, was put on hold–as well as touring–until Redd could address the needs of Rush’s Music and the greater\, Knoxville music community\, which relied on Rush’s. \nMembers Katie and Gavin were able to quit their previous jobs to help at the music store. Redd credits Katie\, Colleen\, and Gavin for giving her direction\, meaning\, and purpose during an intense time of grief and overwhelm\, and they credit this tragedy in strengthening their bond as a band and group of best friends. \nAfter so much change and loss\, it became very clear to the band that each other and their music was the most important priority. \nTheir debut album\, Appalachian Bell Jar\, released on May 12th 2025.  \n​Others have described Redd & The Paper Flowers’ music as Appalachian Jazz\, Appalachian Folk\, and Folk-grass.  \nWhile they truly enjoy all of those genre descriptors\, the band self identifies as “Living Room Folk.” Their superpower is the energy and joy each band mate pulls from playing music together\, and those feelings are often transferred to sweet listeners–making them feel cozy\, as if they were receiving a concert in their living room.  \nThe band is currently in the studio for their sophomore album\, Dead Little Thing\, that highlights the struggles of 2023 – 2024\, which will release in the fall of 2026. \nThe group is based in Redd’s hometown of Knoxville\, TN. \n\nWhen you think about bluegrass music\, you don’t think about grand emotional and spiritual journeys that pierce your soul; yet that is exactly what Swiss-American songwriting and banjo prodigy Ettore Buzzini is creating with his innovative\, classical-infused but deeply traditional bluegrass music. Imagine Earl Scruggs had been influenced by Led Zeppelin and Chopin and you’ll get an idea of Ettore’s sound. \nEttore(pronounced like “Letter-A”) has a decidedly youthful take on traditional bluegrass\, rooted in tradition\, but with an innovative\, distinctive picking style\, and a unique gift of songwriting . To the casual listener\, Ettore’s sound is simply hard-driving bluegrass. But anyone who listens a little more closely will quickly notice that Ettore’s unique music weaves together the iconic acoustic sounds of bluegrass\, the youthful energy and hard drive of pop-rock\, and the emotional journeys of classical romantic music. \nHis unique\, fresh style is a product of his roots on both sides. He was imbued with the classical tradition while living with his family in Italian-speaking Switzerland\, as a toddler. At age 6\, his East Tennessee grandfather introduced him to Flatt & Scruggs\, and he was hit by bluegrass like a lightning bolt. He begged his parents for a banjo for nearly 3 years until\, at age 9\, they relented. Ettore’s love for banjo expanded as he devoured the traditional bluegrass classics\, while also becoming enthralled by the power of classical music\, inspired by his Swiss grandparents’ sacred choir. Ettore made a name for himself at youth competitions in the Blue Ridge Mountains with his prodigious banjo picking style as well as his mastery of flatpicking guitar. He then cemented his reputation as a prodigy when\, at just 11 years old\, he won the Kruger Brothers’ Young Songwriter’s Contest\, with an original banjo and lyrical composition about the Norse mythology of Ragnarok. By age 14\, he had released his first album\, after being approached by legendary bluegrass record label Patuxent Records. \nEttore has collaborated and performed with bluegrass legends Pete Wernick\, Danny Paisley\, Mark Schatz\, Patrick MacAvinue\, Christopher Henry\, and many others. He has been featured at celebrated festivals such as Merlefest and FloydFest\, PBS’s Woodsongs\, and more. At age 16\, competing against industry professionals\, he won the prestigious Fresh Grass Competition with his original composition\, “The Birth of Eros”\, a hard-driving banjo instrumental with a classical romantic theme of a lost soul’s hope of redemption and love. \nEttore’s young star is soaring in the bluegrass scene\, where his unique\, virtuosic sound is garnering Between his prodigious musical talent\, unique songwriting\, and an infectious love of the music\, he may just succeed in turning GenAlpha into GenBlue. \n  \nThanks to our sponsors: Yee-Haw Brewing\, ORNL Federal Credit Union\, and Garza Law. \n

SUMMARY:Paul Thorn Presented by WDVX — Live at the Bijou — 6/11
DESCRIPTION:Get tickets here! \n“Life Is Just A Vapor”\nWhen it comes to songwriting\, less is more\, and simplicity is strength. Just ask Paul Thorn\, who’s spent three decades turning soulful grooves and small syllables into songs that pack a big wallop. Maybe he learned the power of minimalism from his years as a pro boxer; maybe it just comes naturally. But whether he’s targeting heads\, hearts\, hips or the occasional funny bone\, he somehow manages to condense large nuggets of wisdom into tight little mantras\, the kind embroiderers stitched onto pillows before internet memes existed. \nThorn’s new album\, Life is Just A Vapor\, contains some beauties: “Life is a vapor\, let’s live it while we can”; “tough times don’t last\, but tough people do” (from “Tough Times Don’t Last”); “any mountain up ahead is just a hill” (from “Old Melodies”). They’re words of advice\, comfort\, support\, encouragement\, often meant to uplift\, especially in times of struggle. \n“I like for people to be touched by music and get something from it\, something that they can take with them throughout the day\,” Thorn says. “Every song on this album\, there’s a message in it of some sort about how to live life.” \nAmerican Blues Scene writer Don Wilcock calls Thorn “an everyman (who) addresses things we all think about\, but few can articulate with the kind of candor\, humor and folksy truth that immediately endear him to almost everyone lucky enough to hear his music.”

SUMMARY:Summer Sessions - 6/6 - Amythyst Kiah / Cheap Souvenirs
DESCRIPTION:This event is free and takes place at Yee-Haw this time around! Have some fun with The ORNL Summer Sessions! \nThe Rounder Records debut from Amythyst Kiah\, Wary + Strange marks the glorious collision of two vastly different worlds: the iconoclastic alt-rock that first sparked her musical passion\, and the roots/old-time-music scene where she’s found breakout success in recent years\, including recognition from Rolling Stone as “one of Americana’s great up-and-coming secrets.” Along with tapping into the vibrant musicality she honed in part through her studies in East Tennessee State University’s Bluegrass\, Old Time\, Country Music program\, the Chattanooga-bred singer/songwriter expands on the uncompromising artistry she’s displayed as a member of Our Native Daughters—an all-women-of-color supergroup whose Kiah-penned standout “Black Myself” earned a GRAMMY nomination for Best American Roots Song and won Song of the Year at the Folk Alliance International Awards. \nCheap Souvenirs is a Knoxville\, Tennessee based Rock n Roll band!Kevin Hyfantis – Vocals/GuitarJosh Hutson – GuitarLauryl Brisson – DrumsStirling Walsh – Bass

SUMMARY:The WDVX Big Plate — 5/22 — Dave Eggar
DESCRIPTION:Over the past two and a half decades\, Dave Eggar‘s earned rock star status in pop music world as first-call cellist and string arranger for superstars like Coldplay\, Evanescence\, John Legend\, Lewis Capaldi and Bebe Rexha and Foreigner. 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.”

SUMMARY:Jammin' at Hippie Jacks - May 21-24\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:WDVX is partnering with Jammin’ at Hippie Jack’s to give away a pair of weekend passes to this year’s festival! To enter\, stop by Trailhead Beer at 1317 Island Home Ave\, Knoxville and register in person at the giveaway table. One entry per person. Winner will be chosen at random and announced on May 1st. \nJammin’ at Hippie Jack’s is the only family-friendly Americana Roots music and arts festival providing world class entertainment along with humanitarian outreach to the underserved populations of the Appalachians. \nThe Council of Americana Roots Music\, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization\, was founded in 2010 with a mutual benefit of cultural enrichment and community service. Our mission is to promote\, present\, and preserve Americana roots music\, while serving the under-served people of Appalachia with fairness\, dignity\, and compassion. \nProgramming originally included the production of a 16-episode annual public television series titled Jammin at Hippie Jack’s (JAHJ). This half-hour music series focused on preserving and showcasing original singer-songwriters representing historically significant forms of Americana grassroots music. The series was distributed nationally by the National Educational Telecommunications Association (NETA) to public television stations\, libraries\, and educational institutions. \nAdditional initiatives at that time included a regional radio program\, The Hippie Jack Radio Hour\, broadcast on WDVX in Knoxville and throughout East Tennessee and streamed worldwide at www.wdvx.com; a public engagement music festival held each May; and a series of benefit concerts held throughout the year. Proceeds from these programs supported outreach efforts for underserved populations in former coal-mining communities in rural Overton County\, Tennessee.
