SUMMARY:Little Feat: The Last Farewell Tour - Live at the Tennessee Theatre - 4/13
DESCRIPTION:Get Tickets Here! \nPlaying is the joy and satisfaction of touring\, but it comes with the hard part — travel\, the endless miles on a bus. There’s no dodging the wear and tear\, and Little Feat has been playing for quite a while. With tongue stuck somewhat in cheek\, Little Feat announces “The Last Farewell Tour\,” which will begin in April 2026. It’s definitely not an absolute\, never-gonna-play again statement. This wind-down will take several years to accomplish\, and while it does\, Feat will continue to perform and record as long as they are able. It’s a retirement from the travel of touring.

SUMMARY:Old Crow Medicine Show - Live at the Tennessee Theatre - 3/20/26
DESCRIPTION:Support for WDVX comes from the historic Tennessee Theatre on Gay Street in downtown Knoxville. WDVX is a media sponsor for the Old Crow Medicine Show Friday night March 20th. Tickets go on sale this Friday morning 12/12 at 10am at Tennessee Theatre dot com and the Tennessee Theatre box office. This night includes the opening of the new six twelve building annex! \nFor Old Crow Medicine Show\, playing music has always felt like a holiday celebration. \n“We’re in the joy business\,” says frontman Ketch Secor\, who launched the Grammy-winning band in 1998. “From the very start\, a lot of the virtues of Christmas — the revelry\, the singalongs\, the happiness — have been present in our show.” \nNowhere is that more apparent than OCMS XMAS\, the group’s first holiday album. Decorated with seasonal spirit and string-band stomp\, it’s the rare breed of Christmas record that packs a punch all year long\, shining new light on the band’s chart-topping version of American roots music. Old Crow Medicine Show aren’t just reinterpreting their favorite yuletide standards; they’re adding new songs to the canon\, too\, from “Jolly Man” — a country-blues number inspired by Mississippi John Hurt and laced with harmonica\, sleigh bells\, and resonator guitar — to the Zydeco-flavored “All About A Baby.” \nThey’re telling fresh stories\, too. On “Corn Whiskey Christmas\,” a bootlegger drives his Chevrolet through the snow on Christmas Eve\, bringing moonshine to those craving a cup of cheer. On the John Prine-worthy “Bethlehem\, PA” — a sly reimagining of Jesus’ birth story\, with lyrics that substitute Steel Country for Jerusalem — the band heads to the Keystone State to witness the Nativity\, making stops at Wawa and Motel 6 along the way. “Grandpa’s Gone” grapples with the loss of a family figure during the holiday season\, while the wicked “Krampus Night” puts a minor-key spin on the Christmas catalog\, paying tribute to a folkloric creature who\, according to Secor\, “just might leave ya coal and steal your soul.” \nFor more than a quarter century\, Old Crow Medicine Show’s albums have built a bridge between past and present\, updating the sounds of pre-war folk\, country\, old-time\, and bluegrass for the 21st century. OCMS XMAS continues that custom. There’s plenty of tradition here: a cover of “Holly Jolly Christmas\,” featuring horns from the Tennessee State University ensemble Brassville; a rowdy version of the Appalachian standard “Breakin’ Up Xmas\,” recorded live in the band’s East Nashville headquarters; and a timely take on John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s global peace anthem “Happy Xmas (War Is Over)\,” stacked with church harmonies. Balancing out that reverence for the past\, though\, are songs that boldly live in the present\, from barn-burners like “December 26” (which marks the songwriting debut of longtime band member Morgan Jahnig) to “North By Northeast\,” a tribute to New England winters. That fusion of old and new has always played a crucial role in the band’s longevity. More than 20 years after the release of “Wagon Wheel” — one of the best-selling country singles of all time\, combining a forgotten chorus by Bob Dylan with original verses from Ketch Secor — OCMS XMAS uphold’s Old Crow’s combination of the timely with the timelessness. \n“Some of our favorite country artists are those in the Grand Ole Opry\,” says Secor\, who was inducted into the Opry alongside his bandmates in 2013. “The kind of country music that came out of Nashville during the ’60s\, ’70s\, and ’80s is so different than what you hear today\, and we’ve learned a lot from the elder statesmen of our genre. Many of those cats released Christmas albums and went out on Christmas tours every year\, so there’s a real legacy there. We get to be part of that with this project.” \nA real legacy\, indeed. Old Crow have thrived for more than a quarter century. Like many of their heroes\, they’ve become torchbearers of classic folk music\, reshaping those sounds for the modern world. They’re creators\, not replicators\, and OCMS XMAS finds them tackling another tradition — the time-honored Christmas album — with humor\, hillbilly twang\, and novel ideas. Supported by the band’s first-ever “Holiday Hootenanny” tour\, OCMS XMAS just might be the start of a new tradition itself: a celebration of the seasonal sounds\, shared joy\, and holiday rituals that bring us all together. Christmas just got a new soundtrack.

SUMMARY:Tennessee Shines - 2/11 - Shadowgrass / Asheville Mountain Boys / Tidalwave Road
DESCRIPTION:East Tennessee’s Own WDVX presents Tennessee Shines Live from the Bijou Theatre on Wednesday night February 11th at seven. We kick off 2026 with a jam from Shadowgrass\, Tidalwave Road  and Asheville Mountain Boys!  Be part of the live radio theatre audience for Tennessee Shines February 11th. \nTickets are on sale now and going fast. \nCLICK HERE FOR TICKETS! \nWhen their instrumental prowess earned them a vast following on social media\, childhood friends turned all-star act Shadowgrass found sudden success. But as a young band\, the expectations that went along with a large audience proved daunting. “We felt a lot of pressure to make something uniquely us\, because we had such a big following\, and we felt that they deserved more than what we had given them as of yet.” explains the band. The group dug deep into their own musicality\, and tried to block out the noise for their sophomore release All That Will (release date: Oct 4\, 2024). “It turned out that dropping those self-imposed expectations and just writing/making music for our own enjoyment was the key to finding our collective voice and making a record we are all proud of.” \nShadowgrass began in 2014 when Clay Russell (Banjo)\, Luke Morris (Mandolin)\, Kyser George (Guitar) were jamming at the Grayson County Fiddler’s Convention in Elk Creek\, VA. Sometime before their first real show\, the name Shadowgrass was suggested simply because they thought it sounded “cool”. Kyser\, Clay\, and Luke were 9\, 13\, and 14 years old at the time. Now in their early twenties\, their influences and listening habits have changed drastically\, but the group has always grown in the same direction musically. They have welcomed fiddle player Madison Morris\, who also lends vocals and songwriting prowess\, and bass player Evan Campfield. Luke and Madison trade off lead vocals\, and harmonies seamlessly with one another. Their commitment to and keen interest in songwriting brings additional dimensions to the band\, allowing the group to appeal to listeners outside of the expected jam-band community. \nAs a very young band that has already been playing together for a decade\, Shadowgrass has a unique bond. “We’ve grown up together and have watched each other evolve into the people we are today”\, they say. “It sounds cliche but we definitely act more like siblings than bandmates”. On All That Will\, the group explores themes of anxiety and uncertainty\, and questioning the people they want to become. Luckily\, they’ve had each other to share these experiences with\, and it seems that their companionship has only pushed their artistic and musical abilities to new heights. \n \nCLICK HERE FOR TICKETS!\nTidalwave Road hails from Williamsburg\, KY in the heart of the Daniel Boone Country\, the “Gateway To The Cumberlands\,” and a hotbed for high energy\, foot-stomping bluegrass music. First formed in 2012\, the current members include Ben Parker (banjo)\, Carlie Parker (mandolin)\, Daniel Parker (bass)\, and Robert Sulfridge (guitar). \nAs winners of the 2023 SamJam Festival Band Competition\, sponsored by Pinecastle Records\, the band was launched with their grand prize recording from Pinecastle’s Bonfire Recording Studio in Piedmont\, SC. Recorded and Produced by Steve Wilson\, the BONFIRE SESSIONS became Tidalwave Road’s first professional collection to be released worldwide. \nNewly signed on to Pinecastle Records and industry agent\, Wilson Pickins Promotions\, with the success of their first effort\, the band began pre-production on their first full length project due out in 2025. SKIN AND BONE released October 24\, 2025 following three successful single releases that included a heightened level of airplay on SiriusXM Bluegrass Junction\, terrestrial and streaming radio. Tidalwave Road is excited looking forward to to the 2026 touring season. \n \nCLICK HERE FOR TICKETS!\nBy their name\, you know where they are from\, and by their sound\, you know what they are about. The Asheville Mountain Boys are on a mission to capture not just the style but the spirit of traditional bluegrass. Asheville\, NC has long been known for great music and its roots in bluegrass go back to the founding of the genre (Bill Monroe’s first broadcast performance as the Bluegrass Boys was at Asheville radio station WWNC in 1938) A group that firmly stakes its claim to the tradition of the music from the area\, The Asheville Mountain Boys spring onto the scene with a thought\,” What happened to bluegrass?” It’s not a disparaging one that condemns current styles in the genre but rather asks\, “Why do we love this music in the first place” and answers with an approach that is true to the originators of the genre in the sense of both style and philosophy. Bluegrass is raw emotion\, excitement\, drive\, and authenticity. It is not sanitized or compromised but a reflection of the lives of those who play it. It’s storytelling that follows a throughline of tradition. With these priorities in mind\, they offer their first in a series of live-recorded singles. \nYour introduction to the band is “Another Day” a classic tune written and first recorded by Reno and Smiley in the late 50’s. This song choice and performance fit the ethos of the Boys showing the musical prowess of the group which includes John Duncan on banjo\, Zeb Gambill on mandolin\, Jacob Brewer on bass and vocals\, and Marshal Brown on guitar and vocals. The group plans to release more live music this year with studio recording to follow. \n \nCLICK HERE FOR TICKETS!\n

SUMMARY:Live From the Bijou - 1/17 - Cosmic Charlie
DESCRIPTION:CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS & INFO! \nCosmic Charlie was born in the musical Mecca of Athens\, Georgia. From its summer 1999 inception\, the band swiftly cemented its reputation as a band that puts a unique and personal twist on the Grateful Dead catalogue. Cosmic Charlie is a Dead cover band for folks that are ambivalent about Dead cover bands. \nRather than mimicking the Dead exactly\, Cosmic Charlie chooses to tap into the Dead’s energy and style as a foundation on which to build. The result is healthy balance of creativity and tradition\, where both the band and its audience are taken to that familiar edge with the sense that\, music is actually being MADE here tonight. \nMoving and shaking even the most skeptical of Deadheads\, Cosmic Charlie storms into a town and plays with an energy that eludes other bands\, an energy that sometimes eluded the Dead themselves. Those precious moments during Dead jams when the synchronicity is there and all is right with the world – these are the moments that Cosmic Charlie relishes and feverishly welcomes with open arms. Clearly\, Cosmic Charlie’s audiences are also eager to partake in these moments\, and together with the band\, they have indulged in many memorable evenings. \nMost nights\, Cosmic Charlie walks onstage without a setlist\, not even knowing what the first song will be. Any Dead tune can rear its head at any moment\, and fan requests are always welcome. “INSPIRATON\, MOVE ME BRIGHTLY” is Cosmic Charlie’s mantra\, allowing the music to truly play the band.

SUMMARY:WDVX Summer Nights - 10/8 - Mic Harrison and the High Score / Trisha Gene Brady
DESCRIPTION:I’d rather see Mic Harrison and the High Score perform than just about any band on the planet. \nThat’s not just because Mic and the guys have a couple of road cases full of great songs or they’re journeyman musicians who’ve been a part of some of the best bands to come out of the South. It’s because every time I go to a Mic Harrison and the High Score show\, I know I’m going to walk in and see guys who look like they’re having so much fun on stage that it can’t help but spill out into the audience. I know I’m going to walk out at the end the night feeling better about the world with great rock ‘n’ roll and honky tonk songs playing over and over in my head. \nLead singer and rhythm guitarist Mic Harrison\, lead guitarist Robbie Trosper\, bassist Vance Hillard\, guitarist Kevin Abernathy and drummer Don Coffey\, Jr.\, have a chemistry that can only come from long term friendships and shared experiences. Harrison\, who started his young adulthood working in a saw mill in Bradford\, Tenn.\, a town so small it barely shows up on the map between Memphis and Jackson. He moved to Knoxville in the 1990s to become co-lead singer-songwriter (with Scott Miller) in The V-Roys\, a band that defined “Americana” before it was genre. After that group split\, he teamed with Trosper in the short-lived favorites The Faults and\, later\, teamed with Coffey in the now legendary power pop act Superdrag. When Superdrag ended\, Harrison enlisted established Knoxville rock act The High Score to back up a tour and the chemistry was so good that the partnership never ended. \nIn the past 12 years or so\, Mic and the guys have traveled the country\, performing at festivals from Bonnaroo to Easyriders Rodeos\, headlining bills from concert halls to the stickiest bars\, opening shows for everyone from Billy Joe Shaver to Huey Lewis and the News to ZZ Top\, and recording a terrific single with classic country singer Con Hunley. \nI’ve been lucky enough to experience Mic Harrison and the High Score perform about 50 times. I expect to see them at least 50 more. In the world today\, you need something that’s guaranteed to make you feel good that won’t hurt you – aside from a little soreness from swaying and dancing. \nI consider Mic Harrison and the High Score mental health food. \n– Wayne Bledsoe \n \nWith her former band TGB followed a rigorous road schedule and had many adventures!! Trisha Gene Brady is a roots musician from Knoxville\, TN known best for her seven year run as the female vocalist (guitar\, mandolin\, percussion) of the nationally touring act\, The Black Lillies. Her split from the well known Americana outfit seems to be an open door to the next step in her career.\nShe has been featured in publications including Rolling Stone\, Vanity Fair\, Billboard\, Wall Street Journal\, Consequence of Sound\, Garden & Gun\, Huffington Post\, Relix Magazine\, USA Today\, PASTE Magazine\, No Depression & Country Weekly\, NPR’s Mountain Stage (twice) and five separate PBS concert specials\, a GAC featurette\, Texas Music Scene and a CMT television episode airing nationally.\nTrisha Gene is one of the only independent artists invited to play the Grand Ole Opry more than thirty times (debuted June\, 2011).\nShe has performed at festivals including Bonnaroo Music + Arts\, SXSW\, Americana Music Association’s Americana Fest\, 30-A Songwriter’s Festival\, Country Music Association’s CMA Festival & Fan Fair\, Rochester International Jazz Festival\, Pickathon\, Strawberry Music Festival\, Four Corners Folk Festival\, MerleFest\, Old Settler’s Festival\, The Luck Reunion\, and more.

SUMMARY:Summer Sessions - 9/20 - Cruz Contreras & The Black Lillies / Madelyn Tallent / Stoney Point Bluegrass Band ​
DESCRIPTION:Support for WDVX comes from ORNL Federal Credit Union. WDVX and ORNL FCU once again present the Summer Sessions at Bissell Park in Oak Ridge on Saturday September 20th at six featuring Cruz Contreras & The Black Lillies with Madelyn Tallent and the Stoney Point Bluegrass Band. The event is free… bring your lawn chairs and have some fun with The Summer Sessions with ORNL FCU and East Tennessee’s Own WDVX! \nThere are musicians who chase the spotlight\, and then there are those who carry it with them — steady\, quiet\, and burning deep. Cruz Contreras is the latter. Raised between the rugged lines of Tennessee and the long shadows of Michigan\, he’s spent nearly thirty years forging his path through the Americana musical landscape. He got his start at 15\, backing his brother Billy Contreras—now a world-renowned fiddler—and fell in love with music in 1993\, in a quiet room with Bill Monroe. From co-founding Robinella and the CCstringband to leading The Black Lillies\, Cruz carved a sound as old as the hills and as wild as the road. He’s played Conan\, the Opry\, and festivals across the country\, earning praise from Rolling Stone\, NPR\, and Vanity Fair. Now touring behind his solo debut Cosmico\, he continues the journey with Cruz Contreras and The Black Lillies—blending Appalachian roots\, cosmic country\, and rock ’n’ roll. \n \nMadelyn Tallent is a singer/songwriter particularly loving the folk/Americana side of country and some southern rock. \n \nStoney Point Bluegrass Band is a Knoxville-based bluegrass band\, playing all your favorites from classics to new grass renditions! \n \n

SUMMARY:Summer Sessions - 8/23 - Dan Tyminski / Amythyst Kiah
DESCRIPTION:Support for WDVX comes from ORNL Federal Credit Union. WDVX and ORNL FCU once again present the Summer Sessions at Bissell Park in Oak Ridge on Saturday August 23rd at six featuring Dan Tyminski and Amythyst Kiah. The event is free… bring your lawn chairs and have some fun with The Summer Sessions with ORNL FCU and East Tennessee’s Own WDVX! \nDan Tyminski was six years old when his parents began taking him to fiddle contests\, square dances\, and bluegrass festivals across New England. For a young musician who would later become one of the biggest names in modern-day bluegrass\, those early experiences were life changing. \n“Watching live music always spoke to me much louder than sitting in front of my record player\,” he remembers. “I loved it. Wherever music was being played\, I wanted to go watch. Years later\, I still feel that way.” \nThroughout his 30+ year career\, Tyminski has left his mark in every corner of modern music. His voice famously accompanies George Clooney’s performance of the Stanley Brothers’ classic song\, “I Am A Man of Constant Sorrow\,” in the film\, Oh Brother\, Where Art Thou? and his vocal collaboration with Swedish DJ Avicii on the song “Hey Brother” was a global smash\, having been streamed more than a billion times to date. His diverse solo projects and years of work with Alison Krauss and Union Station have yielded troves of award-winning music. \nIn recent years\, Tyminski’s live shows with the Dan Tyminski Band have become bluegrass fan favorites and are regularly on the must-see lists among music fans of any genre. \nWith his newest album release – the Grammy-nominated 2024 concert album Dan Tyminski: Live From The Ryman – he captures the magic of those live shows\, while also proving that he still has the same passion for live music as he did when he was growing up. \nHis earliest touring and recording work was as a part of the band\, Green Mountain Bluegrass. He later joined the influential bluegrass group\, Lonesome River Band\, before embarking on his three decades of work with Alison Krauss and Union Station. \nThe first album that Tyminski recorded as a solo artist was the soul-stirring Carry Me Across the Mountain (2000)\, followed by the Grammy-nominated Wheels (2008) which was named the 2009 Album of the Year by the International Bluegrass Music Association. His work with the EDM artist\, Avicii\, inspired Dan to create the genre-defying Southern Gothic album\, released in 2017 to much critical acclaim. Tyminski would then showcase again his heart for bluegrass with the 2022 EP tribute to Tony Rice\, One More Time Before You Go\, which included guest performances by Molly Tuttle\, Sam Bush\, Dailey & Vincent\, and Billy Strings. The following year saw the release of the full-length bluegrass album\, God Fearing Heathen\, which quickly hit #1 on Billboard’s Bluegrass Albums chart. \nOver the course of his career\, Tyminski has also evolved into a prolific songwriter\, penning songs with Monty Criswell\, Phillip Lammonds\, Kristian Bush\, Ashley Monroe\, Chris Stapleton and many others. \nDan has been honored with 14 Grammy Awards and is a four-time Male Vocalist of the Year honoree by the International Bluegrass Music Association. He has also recorded instrumental or vocal harmony contributions for projects by Martina McBride\, Reba McEntire\, Brad Paisley\, Dolly Parton\, Willie Nelson\, Joan Osborne\, Charlie Daniels\, Kenny Chesney\, LeAnn Rimes\, Rob Thomas\, and Charlie Haden\, to name a few. Tyminski certainly represents the pinnacle of modern bluegrass music. \nWhile Dan enjoys a good conversation and a good cigar\, he can often be found participating in charitable Pro-Am golf tournaments\, as well as competing regularly in the Foosball tournament circuit. \n \nProduced by Butch Walker (Taylor Swift\, Green Day\, Weezer) and recorded at his Nashville studio\, Amythyst Kiah’s new album Still + Bright explores the vast expanse of her inner world: her deep-rooted affinity for Eastern philosophies and spiritual traditions\, a near-mystical connection with the natural world\, the life lessons learned in her formative years as a self-described “anime-nerd mall goth.” In dreaming up the backdrop to her revelatory storytelling\, Kiah and Walker arrived at a darkly cinematic and exhilarating twist on the rootsy alt-rock of her 2021 breakthrough album Wary + Strange—an LP that landed on Rolling Stone’s list of the 25 Best Country and Americana Albums of 2021 and drew acclaim from major outlets like Pitchfork. With its sonic palette encompassing everything from fuzzed-out guitars and industrial-leaning beats to gilded pedal steel and Kiah’s exquisitely graceful banjo work\, Still + Bright fully affirms her as an artist of both daring originality and uncompromising depth. \nOn Wary + Strange\, Kiah offered up a collection of spellbinding songs detailing her experience with grief and trauma and alienation\, each illuminating the extraordinary impact of her songwriting. An electrifying showcase for her singular musicality and soul-stirring voice\, Kiah’s Rounder Records debut soon found many leading critics hailing her as a formidable new talent\, adding to a list of accolades that includes earning a Grammy nomination for her powerhouse anthem “Black Myself.” But when it came time to create her follow-up\, the Tennessee-born singer/songwriter felt compelled toward a profound shift in her artistry. “On the last record it felt so cathartic to write about all the pain I was dealing with\, but this time the songs came from a place of finding joy in the music\,” says Kiah. “In the past I felt so mired down with anxiety that I sometimes held back from what I really wanted to write about; I felt like I needed to play it safe and keep certain thoughts to myself. But now I’m at a point where I’m confident in what I value and love\, and because of that I’ve made the album I’ve always wanted to make.” \nAlthough Kiah’s third full-length marks a departure from the anguished emotionality of its predecessor (an album informed by losing her mother to suicide at age 17)\, Kiah imparts all of Still + Bright with a hypnotic intensity born from boldly stating her convictions. To that end\, the LP opens on the stormy grandeur of “Play God and Destroy the World”: an immediately captivating coming-of-age tale featuring guest vocals from Kentucky-bred singer/songwriter S.G. Goodman. With its title taken from a song Kiah penned and performed at a talent show in high school\, the hard-charging track dispenses a bit of searing commentary on the hypocrisy she witnessed throughout her childhood—and ultimately speaks to the sense of hope and possibility she discovered in unexpected places (e.g.\, the humanistic sci-fi of The Matrix). “I grew up in a good neighborhood and had parents with good jobs\, but in many respects my family was different\,” says Kiah\, who was raised in Chattanooga and later moved to Johnson City. “In order to fit in\, you had to go to church and have conservative values—and I know that being Black wasn’t doing us any favors either. This song was written for the 15-year-old version of me who suspected that there was a big world out there that allowed for many beliefs and a more connected humanity.” \nOn songs like “S P A C E\,” Kiah turns inward and ponders her search for peace of mind in times of maddening uncertainty. “As someone whose identity is tied up in being a touring musician\, the pandemic created a lot of anxiety where I started questioning who I was if I wasn’t out on the road\,” says Kiah. “There were moments when I dealt with that by scrolling through Instagram\, but over time I started to treasure the quiet. Meditation became an important part of my life\, and I eventually wrote ‘S P A C E’ about learning to be more present.” Partly written on banjo\, “S P A C E” unfolds as a soulful outpouring laced with lush mandolin lines\, lovely fiddle melodies\, and a powerfully soaring vocal performance from Kiah. “One of my main goals for this album was to show a new side of myself as a singer\,” she notes. “I’ve always loved really strong\, gospel-style vocals\, and I put a lot of work into increasing my range for this record.” \nAnother track spotlighting the stunning force of her voice\, “Empire of Love” presents what Kiah refers to as “my personal theme song”: an impassioned statement of devotion to her journey as a spiritual seeker\, gorgeously wrought in brooding guitar riffs and fiercely delivered poetry (“My religion is none at all/I build my own cathedrals and let them fall…I pledge allegiance to my soul/I’ll follow where she needs to go/I’m a pilgrim for the empire of love”). Inspired by her ever-deepening connection to the Appalachian landscape—and by her interest in Western humanities and Eastern religions—“Empire of Love” finds Kiah constructing her own belief system firmly rooted in compassion and curiosity. “I believe in carving a path in life that honors my own experiences in the context of the wider world\,” says Kiah\, who co-wrote “Empire of Love” with Sean McConnell. “As a seeker in the mountains\, my sense of spiritual connection stems from nature\, which is connected to all of the cosmos. And there is no religious or social dogma that can change that.” \nAll throughout Still + Bright\, Kiah reveals her rare ability to spin her fascinations into songs uncovering essential truths about human nature. On “I Will Not Go Down\,” for instance\, she looks back on a barbaric moment in history and unleashes a furiously stomping folk epic\, featuring background vocals and nimble guitar work from bluegrass phenomenon Billy Strings. “I read about the Crusades in high school\, and I was disgusted at the prospect of coercing people into spilling an unimaginable amount of blood and brainwashing them into believing they were serving their god—when in fact they were simply doing the bidding of warmongers\,” says Kiah. “I wrote the chorus in my high school journal\, and it became a song about people-pleasing to a fault\, then reclaiming your autonomy and finding a balance between serving yourself and serving others.” Meanwhile\, on “Silk and Petals\,” Ellen Angelico’s feverish guitar tones merge with strangely euphoric grooves in a gothic love song sparked from Kiah’s viewing of the supernatural horror-drama of The Haunting of Bly Manor. “‘Silk and Petals’ was inspired by the story of the Lady in the Lake\, the ghost of a woman named Viola Lloyd\,” Kiah explains. “After falling ill with tuberculosis\, Viola leaves her chest of her finest clothes and jewelry to her daughter\, then becomes violent as she witnesses the affection between her husband Arthur and her sister Perdita. While Arthur is away on business\, Perdita smothers Viola in her sleep\, only to later be strangled to death by Viola’s ghost. The Lady in the Lake then wanders the hallways for centuries searching for her daughter\, killing anyone who moves into the house along the way. I wrote ‘Silk and Petals’ thinking about the idea of ghosts being unable to leave this realm because they’re hanging onto something they’ve lost\, and the song came from being so intrigued by that very intimate intermingling of love and death.” \nFor Kiah\, the making of Still + Bright involved a careful transformation of the songwriting process she adopted after composing her first song on a Fender acoustic at age 13. The latest turn in a dynamic career that’s included joining Our Native Daughters (an all-women-of-color supergroup also featuring Rhiannon Giddens\, Leyla McCalla\, and Allison Russell)\, the album marks her first time opening up her approach and working with co-writers\, including punk legend Tim Armstrong\, Sadler Vaden (a guitarist/vocalist for Jason Isbell’s 400 Unit)\, former Pentatonix member Avi Kaplan\, and Sean McConnell (a singer/songwriter who’s also written with Brittney Spencer and Bethany Cosentino). “In a way I almost felt like I had to relearn how to write songs\, because the experience had changed so much for me after taking better care of my mental and physical wellbeing over the past few years\,” she says. “It felt completely different to write from a place of fulfillment and wanting to have fun with what I was creating.” \nWhile Still + Bright undoubtedly finds Kiah pushing into new emotional and musical terrain\, the album also makes for a vital new addition to a body of work largely dedicated to exploring the struggle and joy of true self-discovery. “With all of my music\, I’d love to leave people with the feeling that it’s okay to go off the beaten path and to structure your life in a way that feels right to you\,” says Kiah. “And just like with the last record\, I hope that these songs can help people out if they’re going through a difficult time. That’s what I always hope for more than anything: for my music to continue to be a part of the healing process for anyone who might need it.” \n \n \n

SUMMARY:Summer Sessions - 6/21 - Erick Baker / The Young Fables
DESCRIPTION:WDVX and ORNL FCU once again present The Summer Sessions at Bissell Park in Oak Ridge on Saturday June 21st at six featuring Erick Baker and The Young Fables. The event is free… bring your lawn chairs and have some fun with The Summer Sessions with ORNL FCU and East Tennessee’s Own WDVX! \nErick Baker is an Emmy Award-winning writer\, children’s book author\, and heart-on-his-sleeve troubadour from Knoxville\, TN. His music is a distinctive blend of folk\, rock\, and Americana-soul that isn’t just heard\, it’s felt. For over a decade he’s made a life in music\, sharing the stage with artists like John Legend\, Brandi Carlile\, Grace Potter\, Heart\, Gavin DeGraw\, Chris Isaak\, and the Goo Goo Dolls. \nWith a soulful voice that has been described as “a smoke and whiskey tenor with plenty of range and emotion”\, Baker’s music draws influence from classic singer-songwriters like James Taylor\, Tom Petty\, and Van Morrison and stands shoulder to shoulder with contemporary songwriters like Jason Isbell\, Chris Stapleton\, Ray Lamontagne\, and Amos Lee. \nErick is thrilled to announce the re-release of “She Dreams of Boston\,” a song he co-wrote with bestselling author Colleen Hoover\, inspired by her novel “It Ends With Us\,” now adapted into a major motion picture. This is one of the most important songs Erick has ever written because it’s more than just a song – “She Dreams of Boston” is Lily’s song\, written specifically to give a voice and melody to her struggle\, resilience\, and ultimately\, her hope. Collaborating with Colleen to bring Lily’s story to life through music has been an incredible honor\, and Erick hopes this song not only raises awareness about the cycle of domestic abuse but also offers comfort and courage to those who need it most. Now streaming everywhere. \nIn addition to his life in music\, Erick is also a children’s book author. Released in 2021\, Erick’s first children’s book\, “Willie the Weed\,” is a contagiously optimistic tale filled with vivid illustrations and a heartwarming story that inspires children to embrace and celebrate their uniqueness. Rooted in the belief that we are all born to reach for the sun and that “WE ALL BELONG”\, Willie’s story of resilience sets a great example of how to overcome adversity and reminds young readers (and grown-up readers too) that when we plant a little kindness a lot of beautiful things can grow. \nWhen he’s not on tour\, Erick lives in Knoxville with his wife\, Mandy\, his daughter\, Annabelle Rose\, and their Goldendoodle\, Sunny Day. Visit him at www.erickbaker.com or follow him on Instagram (@erickbakermusic)\, Facebook (@erickbakermusic)\, and TikTok (@erickbakermusic) to stay in touch. \n \nThe Young Fables (TYF) create music with classic storytelling weaved into Country music with pop sensibilities. East Tennessee (Maryville) natives\, Laurel Wright and Wes Lunsford are influenced by timeless treasures like Patsy Cline\, Bonnie Raitt\, Glen Campbell and Chet Atkins. The duo’s unique sound has resonated with audiences around the globe as live performances have become stages from which The Young Fables discuss themes and topics typically saved for the therapy couch. Strong advocates for mental health awareness\, The Young Fables are focused on helping to erase the stigmas surrounding the topic. Recognizing the duo’s advocacy\, the pair were honored with The Troy Gentry Compassion Award in 2021 for compassion\, commitment\, kindness and love. \nTheir whimsical yet unmistakable blend of Country and Pop has garnered praise from industry icons and tastemakers. Nine-time GRAMMY® Award winner Sheryl Crow once tweeted\, “Laurel’s as good as any country singer out there!” Their releases have earned them recognition\, including a spot on Rolling Stone’s “10 Best Country and Americana Songs of the Week.” They have also had the privilege of supporting artists such as Vince Gill\, Amy Grant\, and Rascal Flatts\, as well as being invited by multi-platinum songstress Shania Twain to participate in the CBS showcase celebration Real Country. Twain praised\, “Wes is a perfect partner for Laurel’s voice. I fell in love with these guys as genuine\, authentic talents.” Travis Tritt added\, “Our industry needs (TYF) right now!” In September of 2023\, the duo was honored as BMI & Texas Roadhouse’s Artists of the Month\, resulting in their music videos being showcased in locations across the United States. \nThe Young Fables continue to grow their team recently inking a publishing deal with BMG. In October 2024\, Wright and Lunsford will unveil their fourth studio album\, Short Stories\, alongside their feature documentary ‘The Fable of a Song’\, which clinched the Nashville Film Festival Audience Choice Award. “Each album we release serves as a journal entry for us\, and Short Stories represents the next chapter\,” Wright explains. “We feel fortunate to have a platform to share our music and are grateful that our story resonates with others\, aiding in their healing. That’s a reward unlike any other.”

SUMMARY:Tennessee Shines - 11/13 - Andrew Marlin Stringband / Rachel Baiman / Robinella
DESCRIPTION:CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS!\nRachel Baiman  Common Nation of Sorrow\, Baiman’s 2023 LP\,  was called one of “The Best Albums of the Year (So Far) by The Boston Globe\, awarded 4 stars from American Songwriter\, and deemed a “Tremendously and remarkable record” by The Amp.  On the heels of an album release year that saw her play more than 130 shows across the globe\, Baiman in making 2024 her “Year of collaboration” with a series of A Side/B Side mini release projects featuring some of her favorite songwriters including Pony Bradshaw\, Caroline Spence\, and Nicholas Jamerson. If Common Nation of Sorrow was a novel\, this year’s releases feel more like short stories\, just long enough to make you want more. \nRaised in Chicago\, Baiman made her way to Nashville at 18 with the dream of being a professional fiddle player and has since released three solo records and an EP\, alongside session and side-person work with Kacey Musgraves\, Kevin Morby\, and Molly Tuttle among many others. As a songwriter\, she has garnered a reputation for her specific brand of political and personal lyricism\, which Vice’s Noisey described as ‘Flipping off Authority one note at a time”. \nIn contrast with her previous work\, (Watchouse’s Andrew Marlin produced her debut album\, Shame)\, Baiman was the sole producer of Common Nation of Sorrow. After recording for twelve days in Nashville with Grammy-Award-winning engineer Sean Sullivan\, Baiman traveled to Portland\, OR\, where she spent two weeks mixing the record with famed engineer and producer Tucker Martine (My Morning Jacket/The Decemberists/First Aid Kit). For her new collaborative singles\, she turned to friend and indie-pop writer and producer Clare Reynolds\, known professionally as Lollies.  “One thing I learned from producing my own record is that I love producing\, as long as it’s not my own parts”\, she laughs.  “I thought it would be great to have another kind of collaboration included in these new songs\, on the production side. \nThe first In Collaboration single release\, “Dominoes”\, with Pony Bradshaw\, was the result of months of musical collaboration. “I’d been playing and singing in Bradshaw’s band some\, and on his upcoming record\, and we’d always talked about writing something together.  So this felt like a natural progression.”  The song hit 100\,000 streams on Spotify in it’s first month\, and Wide Open Country called it “a gut wrenching tale that catalogs the tension between two people acting on their worst impulses\, leading to a domino effect of fallout.” \n“I’ve been looking for a new well of inspiration\, something outside of myself\,” Rachel Baiman told Wide Open Country in early 2024. “Every time that you work with someone you admire\, there’s a lot of growth that happens from being around their creative process and seeing how they approach a song. It brings a new energy and perspective to my own work.” \n \nCLICK HERE FOR TICKETS!\nRobinella’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. \nArtist’s Statement\n“The more things change the more they stay the same.” The longer I live the more I see the truth In this statement. And the truth I see is that as the day to day passes\, while the years roll on\, our lives are full of repetition — repetition in choices\, repetition in words\, repetition of body and mind. \nAs an artist\, and a singer and songwriter. I see this repetition in paint\, in color\, and in song rolling off my lips. I’m from East Tennessee this means a lot of things to different people. To me\, it means a big family\, a mild climate\, an accent\, a thank you and your welcome. It means part of an old hymn. “Lord lead me on from day to day I want to walk the holy way though friends forsake me all alone\, I ask the Lord to lead me on…” \nIt means modesty. \nIt means character. \nWhat can I say about my music but that it is intertwined with my life. The songs I have written\, the songs I will write… These words I know because I have either lived them or seen them or felt them over and over\, over and over\, over and over again. I’ve seen many things. Some people would say I was naive. Maybe naive is a choice. I believe in beautiful\, beautiful\, beautiful. Can you see it? \nWant me to try and show you? \nI will. \nWith repetition\, with a country song\, with a smile\, with a jazzy phrase I heard in a movie\, with some fancy chords a man showed how to play. With some truth. With some lies. \n“Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely\, O Lord you hem me in Behind and Before”-Psalm 139 \n \nCLICK HERE FOR TICKETS!\nAndrew Marlin is a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist based out of Chapel Hill\, NC. He’s known for his captivating songwriting\, presented both lyrically with his band Watchhouse\, in roots group Mighty Poplar\, and under his own name. His latest solo record\, Phthalo Blue is out now! \n \nCLICK HERE FOR TICKETS!\nSupport for Tennessee Shines comes from Tennessee Stone & Visit Knoxville.

SUMMARY:WDVX Summer Nights - 10/9 - The Tim O’Brien Band / The Songs from the Road Band
DESCRIPTION:Born in Wheeling\, West Virginia in 1954\, Grammy winning singer songwriter and multi- instrumentalist Tim O’Brien grew up singing in church and in school. After seeing Doc Watson on TV\, he became a lifelong devotee of old time and bluegrass music. Tim started touring nationally in 1978 with Colorado bluegrass band Hot Rize. His songs “Walk the Way the Wind Blows” and “Untold Stories” were bluegrass hits for Hot Rize\, and country hits for Kathy Mattea. Soon more artists like Nickel Creek\, Garth Brooks\, and The Dixie Chicks covered his songs. Over the years\, Tim has collaborated with his sister Mollie O’Brien\, songwriter Darrell Scott\, and noted old-time musician Dirk Powell\, as well as with Steve Earle\, Mark Knopfler\, Dan Auerbach and Sturgill Simpson. \nLiving in Nashville since 1996\, O’Brien’s skills on guitar\, mandolin\, fiddle\, and banjo make him an in-demand session player. He tours throughout the US and abroad\, most often with his wife Jan Fabricius on mandolin and vocals. A voracious reader who loves to cook\, he has two sons\, Jackson (born 1982) and Joel (born 1990). The International Bluegrass Music Association awarded him song of the year in 2006 and named him best male vocalist in 1993 and 2006. He was inducted into the West Virginia Music Hall of Fame in 2013 and into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame in 2022. \nO’Brien’s latest release\, 2021’s “He Walked On”\, weaves historical and socially conscious themes through songs about ordinary and not so ordinary people just trying to “keep it between the ditches”. Other notable O’Brien recordings include the bluegrass Dylan covers of “Red on Blonde”\, the Celtic-Appalachian fusion of “The Crossing”\, and the Grammy winning folk of “Fiddler’s Green”. His duet recording “Real Time” with Darrell Scott is a cult favorite\, and he won a bluegrass Grammy as part of “The Earls of Leicester”. His 2017 release “Where the River Meets the Road” paid tribute to the music of his native West Virginia. A new release of original material “Cup of Sugar” drops June 16. \n \nSongs From The Road Band is an Asheville\, North Carolina based bluegrass supergroup featuring Mark Schimick (mandolin)\, Charles Humphrey III (bass)\, Sam Wharton (guitar)\, James Schlender (fiddle)\, and Gabe Epstein (banjo). The band takes flight with virtuosic picking\, singing\, and grammy award winning songwriting. Several of their most recent singles have gone to the top of the Bluegrass Today Grassicana chart. They have 6 studio albums available at all musical outlets. \n \n  \nWDVX Summer Nights supported by ORNL Federal Credit Union and Yee Haw Brewing Company.

SUMMARY:WDVX Summer Nights - 9/11 - Amanda Anne Platt & the Honeycutters / Sam Quinn's Cartwright Brothers
DESCRIPTION:The music of Asheville\, North Carolina based outfit Amanda Anne Platt & The Honeycutters is nuanced\, bringing insight and wit to the stories Platt tells through songwriting. Lyrically driven\, the band’s country roots music often inspires introspection\, whether it be about life on the road\, heartache or hope. \nThere is an empathetic and charming wit ingrained in Platt’s songwriting. She has a knack for accessing a deep well of emotion and applying it to her storytelling\, whether she is writing from her own experiences or immersing herself into the melody of emotions in another person’s life. \nPerforming along with Platt\, The Honeycutters are Matt Smith (pedal steel and electric guitars)\, Kevin Williams (keys/vocals)\, Rick Cooper (bass/vocals)\, and Evan Martin (drums/vocals). \nThe band is currently on tour supporting their seventh studio album – “The Ones That Stay” – out August 9\, 2024 on Mule Kick Records. \n \nSam Quinn’s Cartwright Brothers: Somewhere between an endless sigh and the blurred fingers of a years-long morning\, Samuel Quinn fell in love with music again. It was all around\, speaking\, breathing\, behind clouds\, in shirt pockets\, exciting and regretfully inescapable. The Cartwright Brothers took shape riding the contours of this chapter of Quinn’s writing. quiet but ugly. Pretty and too loud. Honest while joking. Personal yet selfishly universal. “It is difficult to say what it is I do\, but if you are into it\, you might also like this\,” Quinn explicates. \n \n  \nMake plans to join us for the entire concert series with: \nOctober 9 – The Tim O’Brien Band / The Songs from the Road Band \nWDVX Summer Nights supported by ORNL Federal Credit Union and Yee Haw Brewing Company.
