DESCRIPTION:Nestled in Knoxville’s intimate and historic downtown\, festival goers are offered nearly 200 performances during the festival—at restored historic theaters\, soaring churches\, refurbished warehouse spaces\, museums\, galleries\, and clubs—with pop-up events and performances\, exhibitions\, films\, literary readings\, workshops\, markets and talks taking place in cafes\, bars\, hotels\, restaurants\, in alleyways and other nooks and crannies of the city.

From the age of five\, Holley worked various jobs: picking up trash at a drive-in movie theatre\, washing dishes\, and cooking. He lived in a whiskey house\, on the state fairgrounds\, and in several foster homes. His early life was chaotic and Holley was never afforded the pleasure of a real childhood. \nSince 1979\, Holley has devoted his life to the practice of improvisational creativity. His art and music\, born out of struggle\, hardship\, but perhaps more importantly\, out of furious curiosity and biological necessity\, has manifested itself in drawing\, painting\, sculpture\, photography\, performance\, and sound. Holley’s sculptures are constructed from found materials in the oldest tradition of African American sculpture. Objects\, already imbued with cultural and artistic metaphor\, are combined into narrative sculptures that commemorate places\, people\, and events. His work is now in collections of major museums throughout the country\, on permanent display in the United Nations\, and been displayed in the White House Rose Garden. In January of 2014\, Holley completed a one-month artist-in-residence with the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation in Captiva Island\, Florida\, site of the acclaimed artist’s studio. \n \nLee Bains will also join us this day!

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special - 3/27 - Big Ears - Lara Downes / Dedicated Men of Zion
DESCRIPTION:Nestled in Knoxville’s intimate and historic downtown\, festival goers are offered nearly 200 performances during the festival—at restored historic theaters\, soaring churches\, refurbished warehouse spaces\, museums\, galleries\, and clubs—with pop-up events and performances\, exhibitions\, films\, literary readings\, workshops\, markets and talks taking place in cafes\, bars\, hotels\, restaurants\, in alleyways and other nooks and crannies of the city. The festival experience is full of surprises. \nA festival pass offers access to all publicly announced performances—enabling festival goers to not only see familiar artists that they know and love\, but also to explore the music of artists with whom they are not already familiar. \nBig Ears presents extraordinary performances and arts experiences to connect more than 40\,000 locals and visitors of all ages throughout the Knoxville community each year. \nFounded in 2009\, the Big Ears Festival is the flagship event of our organization. It explores the influences that inspire and connect musicians and artists\, crossing the boundaries of musical genres as well as artistic disciplines. Every spring\, Big Ears presents nearly 200 concerts\, talks\, workshops\, film screenings\, residencies\, and more in over a dozen venues across downtown Knoxville. With a program budget of $3.5 million and a local annual economic impact of $68.9 million\, the Big Ears Festival is one of the highest-profile arts events in the Southeastern U.S.\, garnering regular national media coverage\, hosting numerous world premiere performances\, and helping to define the cultural character of the region for many across the country. \nPerforming will be: \nRecently honored as Classical Woman of the Year by NPR’s Performance Today\, American pianist (and NY Times crossword clue) Lara Downes has been called “a musical ray of hope” by NBC News\, “a classical music instigator pushing the music forward with great gusto” by the NY Amsterdam News\, and “an explorer whose imagination is fired by bringing notice to the underrepresented and forgotten” by The Log Journal. \nAn iconoclast and trailblazer\, Lara occupies a unique position of visibility through her dynamic work as a sought-after soloist\, a Billboard Chart-topping recording artist\, and a beloved NPR personality as host of her popular video show Amplify with Lara Downes. She has garnered millions of fans spanning diverse communities: her devoted NPR viewers and 100\,000+ weekly listeners to her nationally syndicated radio programs intersect with her live concert audiences and her followers on streaming platforms to form a broad and constantly expanding fan base. \n \nHarmony is serious business where the Dedicated Men of Zion come from. The group’s eldest member\, Anthony “Amp” Daniels\, remembers how serious harmony was to his mother. Every day\, she would call her children inside\, turn off the television\, and make them sing in harmony\, talk in harmony\, do everything in harmony. Singing well together was a virtue that she and her sisters had learned from their own father\, and Anthony passed it on to his own children. \nThe power of harmony fed the souls of the Black communities of rural North Carolina when both respect and money were especially scarce. \n“That’s where that seriousness is from\,” Amp remembers. “They demand respect. They’re serious about what they do and they don’t play with God.” \nThe Dedicated Men of Zion — all eight of them — come from a singing tradition that has flourished for decades in eastern North Carolina\, around the city of Greenville and its small neighboring town of Farmville. Trained in the church and the home\, the group’s four vocalists — Anthony Daniels\, Antwan Daniels\, Dexter Weaver\, and Marcus Sugg — share the bond of that music and the literal bond of kinship. They are all related by blood or marriage. \n \n

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special - 3/26 - Josh Morningstar
DESCRIPTION:When preparing for an album\, some songwriters carve out specific times in a day to sit down and work on music. Not Josh Morningstar. The Maryland native is constantly writing songs—while he’s driving\, while he’s on the road\, while he’s at home—and stockpiling ideas for future tunes. \n“I’m pretty much always writing in some form or fashion\,” he says. “It’s not like\, ‘Okay\, June 1\, I’m going to sit down and I’m going to spend the next 10 days writing a record.’ That’s not really how I operate. I just write\, and write\, and write\, and then eventually\, I’ll hit a point where I decide\, ‘Okay\, I probably need to record and release something.’” \nLuckily\, that meant Morningstar had plenty of options as he approached Josh Morningstar\, his Late August Records debut and first full-length since 2018’s The Plea. Morningstar went through the abundance of recordings on his phone and picked out his favorites\, the ones that he thought would go well together. “There’s some storytelling on there\,” he says. “There’s love songs on there. There’s some funny songs on there. I really wanted to show the different aspects of who I am as an artist and as a songwriter—and this group of songs really represents that probably better than anything I’ve done. These songs come from my heart and my mind.” \nThat naturally translates to a diverse album that encompasses blazing honky-tonk with a sinewy groove (“Get By (We’re All Just Tryin’ To Make It)”)\, smoky blues rock with subtle organ shading (“Livin’ the Dream”)\, and conspiratorial folk music (“To Seek the Devil”). The songs’ arrangements are concise and elegant\, decorated with just enough shading and texture to tease out subtle emotional nuance; for example\, gentle piano and percussion cushion “Anywhere With You\,” while desolate pedal steel and fiddle drive “Even As a Ghost.” \nMorningstar recorded the album at Nashville’s Pentavarit Studios with Jay Tooke\, a producer who formerly played with the Steel Woods. The two became friends after crossing paths on the road; Morningstar\, who much prefers playing live to being in the studio\, thought Tooke could make the recording experience an easy one. “I wanted as laid-back of an environment as possible\,” he says\, “and I knew Jay was a pretty laid-back guy\, so I knew he’d be good for that.” \nMorningstar’s instincts were right: The pair spent just two or three days laying down tracks and then an additional day polishing off three more songs. “After the first day I knew that it would be a good fit\,” Morningstar says. “If a studio environment is very uptight and too professional\, I feel very out of place. So it was really just Jay and I in there for the most part\, and I could just be myself and try things. It was the right way to do it.” \nSongwriting-wise\, Morningstar was also selective about his co-writes\, collaborating with Brent Cobb (“Livin’ The Dream”)\, Hayes Carll (“As Fast As She Can Go”)\, and Kendell Marvel and Waylon Payne (“Eyes on Forever”)\, and covering “Baltimore Jack” by Rorey Carroll. The result is an album brimming with relatable characters and lyrics that read more like rich\, elegant prose. “Anywhere With You” is about treasuring what matters in a relationship—being together—while the earnest “Even As A Ghost” wears its romantic heart on its sleeve. Elsewhere\, the main characters of “Get By (We’re All Just Tryin’ To Make It)” make bad decisions but are treated with empathy\, as the song is a pointed critique of society’s power imbalances. “To Seek The Devil\,” meanwhile\, is a cautionary tale about sacrificing your morals or integrity to make dreams come true. \n“Each one of those songs on the album comes from my life in a different way\,” he says. “No\, I didn’t meet my future self in a bar\, like I say in ‘To Seek the Devil.’ But that song comes from the frustration of being an artist and feeling like you’re spinning your wheels. ‘Baltimore Jack’ is about a pretty notorious hiker on the Appalachian Trail. But even in that\, I could see parts of myself.” \nThat Morningstar was here and present to record these songs was a blessing: In March 2020—just as the COVID-19 pandemic started—he nearly died due to an infection that arose after a tooth extraction went awry. “I went into the hospital and the world was normal\,” he says. “I came out of the hospital and everything had changed.” In the last few years\, he’s also dealt with the painful experience of losing friends and loved ones. Morningstar opted not to include the songs that dealt directly with these matters\, preferring to hold them for a later date. “They were at the end of the record\,” he explained\, “and the end of the record felt more downtempo than I wanted it to be. But there’s lines and parts through all of the songs that reflect those losses.” \nOther moments on the album provide levity—such as the jaunty opening track “The I Can’t Write A Song Song\,” a lighthearted\, stream-of-consciousness acoustic song that confronts his bouts of writer’s block with wry\, good-natured humor. “I sat down one day and got very frustrated because I couldn’t write a song\, and then I just started writing exactly what the song is\,” he says. “It really didn’t take too long to do; it just came pouring out of me. Those are my favorites when I’m writing\, the songs that feel like they come from somewhere else and you’re just a conduit.” \nMorningstar is no stranger to resilience. A recovering heroin addict with more than a decade of sobriety\, he weathered challenging times (including no less than six stints in different county jails) before finding a home in music. Morningstar has toured with or opened for Todd Snider\, Shooter Jennings\, Bobby Bare\, and Jason Isbell\, and made his name as a songwriter\, with tunes recorded by Sunny Sweeney\, Vince Gill\, and others. Along the way\, he’s found a kindred spirit in outlaw country artist Cody Jinks\, who owns Late August Records. Jinks has recorded Morningstar songs on every one of his records starting with 2018’s Lifers\, on which he cut “Must Be The Whiskey.” \nMorningstar is grateful for their business relationship—but is even more thankful for their friendship. “Outside of anything business-related\, Cody is one of my dearest friends\,” he says. “He is a genuinely good person\, and goes above and beyond not just for me\, but anyone in his life. I’m grateful to be on his record label\, and I’m grateful to have had him record my songs. But outside of any of that\, I’m grateful to be able to call him a friend. That means more to me than any of that other stuff.” \nFor Morningstar\, gratitude is indeed a common theme—for songwriting\, for touring\, and for the opportunities that music has given him. He cherishes the songs he writes and makes every single day count. “To really understand my music\, I feel like you have to see me live\,” he says. “But this record is as close to seeing me live—or understanding what it is that I’m about—more than anything I’ve done. I consider myself a troubadour. I write songs. I sing them\, and I pack up and go on to the next gig. That’s what I like to do. It’s what I’ve done for 20 years at this point. It’s what I’ll do\, God-willing\, until I’m not here anymore.”

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special - 3/25 - Eric Hagen / Taylor Hughes
DESCRIPTION:Based in the MIdwest\, his well-rooted sound rings with perplexing authenticity\, suggesting he illegally phone-tapped into the wellspring at the heart of all timeless classics. Often praised for his powerful voice\, he can infuse a modern story with gospel-like depth. \nEric Hagen‘s music is a heartfelt ode to the timeless dance between joy and sorrow wrapped in the faded splendor of a bygone era. His performances are like vintage postcards\, each one a snapshot of a wistful journey through a land where the echoes of heartache linger in the dusty corners of forgotten jukeboxes. \n“Accuse Me” is out now. Glide Magazine says: “Moving soul meets twangy bliss on Hagen’s new single\, “Accuse Me.” The Southern soul influences are evident from the jump as the artist’s bluesy tones are greeted at the door with soaring vocal runs.” \n“Deja Vu” was released on December 13th as the final single from the upcoming EP “Americana Lonesome” which is due to hit streaming platforms January 17th\, 2025. \n \nTaylor Hughes\, a Kentucky-born\, Nashville-based country music sensation\, blends soulful vibes with southern rock-blues flair. Dubbed “Adele with a country kick” by Tennessee Star Magazine\, she’s taken the scene by storm since her 2020 debut “Good Taste.” Hits like “Prayin’ to the Whiskey\,” “Jesus and Jail” (2023)\, and “High on Something” have earned her international acclaim and Texas chart success. With awards like Lexington’s “Country Artist of the Year” (2023) and Josie Music Awards’ “Southern Rock/Country Rock Female Vocalist of the Year” (2024)\, plus her self-penned SiriusXM smash “Girl On A Fast Horse” with Whey Jennings\, Hughes is unstoppable. Her performance style—raw\, heart-pumping\, and boot-stomping—electrifies stages\, having opened for Chase Rice\, Riley Green\, Uncle Kracker\, Alexandra Kay\, and more\, delivering pure country passion that leaves audiences hooked. She’s a rising star you can’t ignore.

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special - 3/22 - Darrell Wallace & Kevin Mahoney / The Lonetones
DESCRIPTION:Darrell Wallace was born in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains (Knoxville\, TN). Darrell is a member of the International Singer Songwriters’ Association and the Tennessee Songwriters’ Association. After meandering through a couple of states and several cities\, he headed to Nashville. There he turned down two recording contracts and a publishing deal (maybe not the smartest move\, but made sense at the time)\, he found himself as one of the up and coming writers with numerous appearances at the Bluebird Cafe.​​ \nDarrell’s early musical influences were Allman Brothers\, Lynyrd Skynyrd\, Steve Earle\, James Taylor and all of the Out Law Country folks\, Waylon\, Willie\, etc. Today he is living the dream (the life of a rock star)\, playing venues throughout the south and parts of the north.

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special - 3/19 - Jacob Paul Allen
DESCRIPTION:“Appalachian Red Dirt\,” That’s how Jacob Paul Allen describes his brand of Country Music. It’s a style and sound that he has crafted on stages large and small from coast to coast for the past 15 years. From the neon lights of Lower Broadway in Nashville\, TN to the famed Whisky-A-Go-Go on the Sunset Strip in California\, Jacob has been carving out his path and creating a sound that blends Country\, Rock\, Bluegrass and Americana in a way that is true to his Appalachian roots\, yet feels so familiar that listeners are easily drawn in and left wanting to hear more. Whether he is playing a solo show or getting rowdy with his band\, Jacob captures the audience with his infectious stage presence and reels them into the stories that he tells\, both in his songs and his stage banter. Jacob released his debut EP “Southern Love” in January of 2023 and in May of 2023 he released his highly anticipated hometown anthem “Tyro” which has quickly become a crowd favorite. \nHis music caught the attention of Freight Train Management\, an artist development company based out of Richmond VA\, and he has recently partnered with them to take his music to the next level. With new songs being written and recorded and new venues being booked\, 2024 is shaping up to wild ride for the JPA camp.

SUMMARY:The WDVX Big Plate - 3/14 - Four Leaf Peat / Daniel Kimbro
DESCRIPTION:Four Leaf Peat is Tennessee’s premier Traditional Irish Band and has been performing locally and regionally since 2004! Traditional Irish music ranges from vibrant dance tunes to soulful songs\, and Four Leaf Peat’s performances are always marked by a keen sense of the tradition\, mixed with just the right amount of influence from the rich musical history of East Tennessee. Four Leaf Peat’s unique sound is a result of its members’ various musical backgrounds\, and their continued passion for traditional Irish music. By taking all of their years of musical training\, and building on Irish influences like The Bothy Band\, Planxty\, Flying Cloud & Silly Wizard\, to more modern twists on Traditional music such as Dervish\, Open the Door for Three & Lunasa; Four Leaf Peat has built its own brand of Irish music which celebrates the musical bridge that spans the Atlantic. \n \nDaniel Kimbro:\nI live in East Tennessee. I have two kids\, a whining\, braying hound dog\, and I have a wife who tolerates my making the pursuit of music my career and lifestyle. \nI play the bass\, mainly. I started out on the guitar\, but the first cover band I auditioned for said\, “we could use a bass player.” \nI grew up in places called Morristown and White Pine in East Tennessee. \nMy parents fed me on a steady diet of bass and crappie fishing\, The Stanley Brothers\, Van Halen\, Flatt & Scruggs\, W.A. Mozart\, The Police\, New Grass Revival\, Guy Clark\, and Townes Van Zandt\, among many others. Mom taught me the recorder and I played the trombone in the 5th grade. We had a family bluegrass band called “Mountain Soul” in which I played mostly guitar\, and then some bass. Dad drove us all over East Tennessee with our plywood bass strapped to the roof of our car. One time we drove into a parking garage and forgot it was up there. I stopped playing trombone in college and immediately got laid. Speaking of getting laid\, back to bluegrass… \nOur family band played only the finest backwoods general stores\, swap meets\, cake walks\, Civil War reenactments\, volunteer fire-halls\, tanning bed salons\, Cocke County family reunions (we crashed one just to meet a really good clawhammer banjoist)\, and one massively awkward Seventh Day Adventist church service…I wouldn’t trade the times on stage with my parents and brothers for anything in the world. I would trade some of the food though. \nI began my “formal” music education in 2001 at the University of Tennessee\, which is where I began studying the double bass. I went to school for way too many years and managed to graduate with a degree and a half in Strings Performance and Studio Music and Jazz\, though I’ll say I’ve learned more in the last 10 years than I did in the previous 25. I’m grateful to my college bass professor\, Rusty Holloway\, for the invaluable lessons he taught me about how to learn and perform music\, and how to be a team player. \nDuring college and after\, I’ve been fortunate to travel and play with many different groups all across the U.S. and Canada\, Northern Europe/Scandinavia\, and Japan. During a tour with the Lovell Sisters Band I had the privilege of playing in front of perennial Grammy award-winning resophonic guitarist Jerry Douglas\, and he asked me to join his band in 2013. I’m grateful to Jerry\, and thanks in no small part to him I’ve been fortunate enough to share the stage (or at least sit around and pick) with many of the folks I grew up listening to. \nIn March of 2017 I was asked to handle bass duties on the Transatlantic Sessions 2017 US Tour\, where I had the honor of subbing for bass great and personal hero Danny Thompson. During that tour I found myself accompanying Sir Aly Bain\, James Taylor\, Jerry Douglas\, Alison Krauss\, Rodney Crowell\, Mary Chapin Carpenter\, Roseanne Cash\, John Paul White\, Sarah Jarosz\, Aoife O’Donovan\, The Milk Carton Kids\, Declan O’Rourke\, Karen Matheson\, Maura O’Connell\, Joe Newberry\, Russ Barenburg\, John Doyle\, James Mackintosh\, John McCukser\, Michael McGoldrick\, and Donald Shaw. That was a whirlwind full of amazing music and lovely people. It is really fun to ask for more James Taylor in your monitor. \nIn 2014 or so I was introduced to Martin Harley by our mutual friend Sam Lewis. Martin and I hit it off and made a couple records\, and now I go to England and Canada a fair bit. There’s lots of rule following\, traffic cameras\, and boot/hat fashion advice flowing both ways (oft ignored).Sam\, Martin and I are currently working on a trio record. That’s right ladies. Trio. \nIn 2018 we in the Jerry Douglas Band were nominated for a Grammy award in the the “Best Contemporary Instrumental Record.” We lost. \nIn late 2018 I was asked to join the Flatt & Scruggs tribute band The Earls of Leicester. I said yes. \nIn early 2019 I was asked to once again step into Danny Thompson’s huge brogues and perform with the Transatlantic Sessions for the UK tour throughout Scotland\, England and Ireland\, alongside featured artists Tim O’brien\, Molly Tuttle\, Gretchen Peters\, Cara Dillon and Paul McKenna. Then we did it again in 2020\, right before Covid\, alongside Tommy Emmanuel\, Cahalen Morrison\, Sierra Hull\, Rachel Sermanni\, and Cathy Jordan. I asked Cathy Jordan to marry me. She said no. \nThough they don’t likely remember me\, I’ve been able to make music with the likes of Brendon James Wright\, Sam Lewis\, Martin Harley\, Robinella\, Hector Qirko\, R.B. Morris\, Casey Driessen\, Larkin Poe\, Thom Hell\, John Frazier\, Matt Menefee\, The Whistles & The Bells\, Jeff Sipe\, John Medeski\, Jason Isbell\, Maggie Longmire\, Your Mom\, John Hiatt\, Sarah Siskind\, …and I’ve been able to play some remarkable venues: The Ryman Auditorium\, The Grand Ole Opry\, The Tennessee Theater\, Bonnaroo\, Telluride Bluegrass Festival\, MerleFest\, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass\, StordFest\, The Vancouver Island Folk Festival\, The Kate Wolf Folk Festival\, The Edmonton Folk Festival\, New Orleans Jazz Fest\, The Blue Note Tokyo\, Chateau St. Michelle\, Jammin at Hippie Jacks\, The Bijou Theater\, Rochester International Jazz Festival\, and a bunch of others I can’t remember right now…anyway\, it’s been fun\, and it’s getting better all the time. Thanks for listening\, and I hope to see you somewhere.

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special - 3/6 - Timothy Chandler Hicks / Olivia Wolf
DESCRIPTION:Immersed in bluegrass culture while growing up in Northern California\, Olivia Wolf is a storyteller with an eye for the otherworldly. Having spent time living in Virginia and now hailing in Leiper’s Fork\, TN\, Wolf possesses an uncanny ability to mesh her California roots with Appalachian stylings. Wolf’s debut album ‘Silver Rounds’ (January 17th)\, produced by Sean McConnell (Brothers Osborne\, Brittney Spencer)\, is an intimate journey of loss\, resilience\, escapism\, healing and spiritual connection. At its core\, the album explores Wolf’s own experiences with grief\, portraying the bittersweet nature of memory and the longing for connection with those who have passed on to the next life. Throughout the record\, she grapples with existential questions\, inviting listeners to reflect on their own lives and the universal struggle for understanding. Wolf also emphasizes the importance of living in the moment and embracing self-care\, encouraging listeners to prioritize their own needs amidst societal expectations. She underscores this theme with a sense of community and shared experience as she draws inspiration from her relationships\, her surroundings and the universe at large. As ‘Silver Rounds’ unfolds\, it balances light and dark\, capturing the essence of life’s cyclical nature. Wolf’s storytelling invites listeners into her world\, where vulnerability meets strength\, and where every song serves as a reminder that even in our deepest struggles\, there is beauty to be found. This album is not just a collection of songs; it is a heartfelt navigation of life’s challenges while holding onto hope and connection. Wolf’s songs resonate with a universal truth: amidst life’s challenges\, beauty awaits discovery\, and music serves as the bridge to that beauty. Olivia Wolf is managed by Tracy Gershon and partners with Al Moss for radio promotion\, Shore Fire Media for press and Starfish Marketing for digital. \n \nTimothy Chandler Hicks brings psychedelic indie folk country.

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special - 3/1 - Danny Schmidt / Nash Hamilton
DESCRIPTION:Named to the Chicago Tribune’s list of the “50 Most Significant Songwriters in the Last 50 Years\,” Austin\, TX-based singer/songwriter Danny Schmidt has amassed a cult following for his poetic\, poignant lyrics. With a craftsmanship and emotional depth drawing comparisons to Leonard Cohen and Townes Van Zandt\, Schmidt is considered a preeminent writer. Sing Out Magazine proclaimed that: “Schmidt is a force of nature: a blue moon\, a hundred-year flood\, an avalanche of a singer-songwriter. His songs are a flood of poetry\, mythology\, folk wisdom\, and surprise. He is perhaps the best new songwriter we’ve heard in the last 15 years.” \nPerforming solo most often\, armed with just his voice\, his acoustic guitar\, and his acute insight and commentary\, Schmidt’s an authentic timeless troubadour\, one man sharing his truth in the form of songs\, in unadorned and intimate fashion. The understated effect can be powerful. As songwriter Jeffrey Foucault put it: “Everything about the man is gentle\, except for his capacity for insight\, which is crushing.” \n \nI’m Nash from Nashville. Listen to my songs\, tell me what you think. If you like them\, share ‘em with your friends. Y’all come back now!

SUMMARY:The WDVX Big Plate - 2/28 - The Merlin’s Nest
DESCRIPTION:1000% homegrown and original. Currently this channel represents merely a fraction of what The Merlin’s Nest is capable of. All photos are original artwork by the founding member and the recordings were painstakingly carved out in his bedroom. As this band grows the quality will continue to improve. Catching our live shows is the only way to truly experience the Nest currently\, but over time as the production value continues to improve the Merlin’s Nest will prove to be a powerful narrator of epic collisions of song and story in video and audio format. \n \n

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special - 2/26 - Roger Wallace
DESCRIPTION:Roger Wallace has something rare in country music today: honesty\, creativity\, and more than enough talent to back it all up. You could say it’s all in the voice — and not just the powerful\, rangy singing voice that has gained acclaim in roots-country circles for well over a decade. That voice attempts to speak not only in notes and words\, but in a distinct musical vision\, as well as unique views on the world around him. His latest CD\, aptly titled It’s About Time\, includes 12 of the 13 songs written or co-written by Wallace\, as well as a more stripped-down musical approach from his previous three CD’s (Hillbilly Heights-1999\, That Kind Of Lonely-2001\, The Lowdown-2002) that exposes the most basic elements of country music\, from its purest tones to its barest bones. In the summer of 1994\, Roger Wallace left his hometown and musical roots of Knoxville\, TN at the age of 22 to pursue music as a way of life in Austin\, TX. Unknowingly\, he became part of a mass migration of alt-and-roots country artists to move to Austin in the early ’90’s\, in his case literally passing right by Nashville to come to Austin — because\, as he put it\, “that’s where the music is.” Around 1997\, musical karma and music lovers’ own good fortune brought Wallace together with guitar legend Jim Stringer\, whose Music Room label and studio\, along with his own AM Band\, has since housed\, honed and brought together many of Austin’s best real-country artists. Wallace and Stringer\, along with Wallace’s steady ensemble of some of the world’s finest and most respected\, prolific\, and sought-after roots musicians — including Stringer\, drummer Lisa Pankratz\, bassists Brad Fordham and Kevin Smith\, pianist T Jarrod Bonta\, fiddlers Erik Hokkanen\, Elana James\, and Eamon McLoughlin\, and Marty Muse on steel\, as well as guests such as Toni Price\, Derek O’Brien\, and Dave Biller — have produced four highly acclaimed CD’s since 1999. “Hillbilly Heights” in 1999\, “That Kind Of Lonely” in 2001\, “The Lowdown” in 2002\, and his new 2007 release “It’s About Time” continue to solidify the slightly-older and ever-wiser Roger Wallace as one of the premier real-country artists of the modern roots music explosion\, and audiences look forward to hearing much more of the same for years to come.
