SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special - 4/8 – Jason Passmore / Blesser Heart
DESCRIPTION:Jason Passmore grew up in Franklin\, NC\, stepping on the stage with his dad at the age of 5 years old. Hard work and dedication were the foundation that he was raised on and that translated on and off stage throughout his life. Through his determination to carry on his father’s legacy and put a stamp on the world with his own\, he hit the ground\, full steam ahead writing and performing his own music. His ability to relate to his fans through his music has driven his popularity in his two home states of Tennessee and North Carolina and his recent releases are pushing his name across the country. A veteran performer and singer-songwriter\, he carefully constructs his lyrics to represent his life and the lives of the people that support him! Jason blends country\, rock and blues together to present the world with his own unique style of music that has brought him national and global accolades winning awards and nominations as well as an invitation to host including (2024 International Red Carpet Awards Show Host)\, EP of the Year (2023 Josie Music Awards\, Nashville\, TN) and Best of Original Country Pop Artist (2023 Fair Play Country Music\, International Red Carpet Awards Show\, Holland) most recently. \n \nFirst of all\, they’re just funny. Blesser Heart is Ruth Brown\, Cindy Hassil\, Vicki Heidle and Sarah Motes Ashley and they have been making each other laugh for a long time. Then there’s the sound. Did you know that a group of altos is called a “ganache?” It is for them\, anyway; four altos make a pretty rich sound and they just like to roll around in it. \nThey met as Alto IIs in the Knoxville Choral Society\, and now they’re singing some pretty cool songs by Sarah Motes Ashley. An award-winning songwriter\, she has songs playing in retail stores and videos and on Texas country radio and who knows where else – “they never really tell me\, I just get the checks\,” she says.​ \nWhat kind of music is it? It’s acoustic kinda pop. It’s folk without the depressing. It’s showtunes without the vibrato. It’s vocal harmony with uke or guitar\, sometimes it’s covers or a cappella jazz with their designated grownup Harold Nagge on bass. \nTheir last gig before COVID was January 31\, 2020 at Vienna Coffee in Maryville\, and they were really looking forward to performing at the Casual Pint Downtown in April. But\, along with a lot of things\, that didn’t happen. They spent the pandemic Zooming and singing outside six feet apart. \nFor their first gig after the pandemic\, they sang at the Tennessee Theatre in May 2022. Their recording plans kept on falling through\, so they created the “Living Room Sessions” rehearsal videos. To be honest\, the rehearsal vids are way more fun than the sanitized studio stuff anyway.​ \n​The second set of videos is called “Other Songs\,” because they’re some of Sarah’s… other songs. Blesser Heart may or may not decide to sing those too. \n \n

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special - 4/12 - Remedy Tree
DESCRIPTION:Florida’s Americana ensemble Remedy Tree has achieved notable success\, securing second place at the prestigious SPBGMA National Band Championship. Following their signing with Mountain Fever Records in 2024\, the band has performed internationally\, showcasing their talents at Ireland’s Westport Folk and Bluegrass Festival. Remedy Tree has shared the stage with legendary artists such as Peter Rowan\, The Steeldrivers\, Ricky Skaggs\, Town Mountain\, Rhonda Vincent\, and Della Mae. As a selected 2023 IBMA Ramble Showcase band\, they have demonstrated their prowess within the industry. With a new album and larger shows on the horizon\, Remedy Tree is poised for a breakout year in 2025. Get ready to join the journey with this rising Americana sensation. \nRemedy Tree\, founded by Gabriel and Abigail Acevedo in 2015\, in its inception had a strong indie-folk sound. As time progressed Remedy Tree added a banjo player and were subsequently thrust into a bluegrass trajectory. Gabriel Acevedo was born in Bayamon Puerto Rico and was raised in rural Umatilla Florida. His Puerto Rican heritage and upbringing provides an outsider’s approach to the genre. Abigail was raised in folk and old-time music circles and traveled with her family band throughout her teen years. \nAn original music band at heart\, Remedy Tree combines the love for bluegrass\, an Appalachian old-time spirit\, and the folk melodies that started it all\, creating a truly unique Americana experience that provides a fresh perspective into where bluegrass is headed in the future. Remedy Tree recently welcomed Isaac Taylor (banjo) and Nathan Beaumont (mandolin) into the band\, some of the region’s best players\, further blossoming the Remedy Tree sound. \n \n

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special - 4/14 - Juliet Lloyd / Jim Myers
DESCRIPTION:There’s an unmistakable urgency you can feel when a song is written and performed from a place of complete honesty. That feeling permeates singer-songwriter Juliet Lloyd’s new album\, Carnival. \n“I’ve always been envious of writers who say they write songs because they have to\, because they had these things they just had to get out of themselves\,” Juliet says. “I had never really felt that way until this album. I’ve become someone who writes because they have to.” \nThe album is Juliet’s first full-length effort since 2007. Shortly after releasing her sophomore album that year\, she walked away from music completely for more than 10 years\, feeling burned out and unhappy with her career progression like so many other independent artists. After going through a divorce in 2019 and in the midst of a global pandemic\, she found herself pulled back toward the siren call of songwriting and again making the leap to pursue it full time. Carnival is in many ways the culmination of those decisions\, and the reintroduction of an artist who now has the wisdom of experience. \n“These songs have helped me make sense of emotions and experiences that have happened both recently and those that I’ve buried for 20+ years\, to confront truths about myself and about others that I’ve been afraid or unwilling to say out loud\,” Juliet says. “I’ve never been a confrontational person. But this is definitely a confrontational album. And I love it.” \nRecorded in an unhurried process over nearly 15 months and produced by Todd Wright (Lucy Woodward\, Butch Walker\, Toby Lightman)\, Carnival’s nine songs are a study in contrasts. Light and dark\, devastating and self-deprecating\, apologetic and angry\, conversational and conceptual. They are genre-fluid\, weaving elements of pop\, folk\, soul\, and rock to create a vibrant and often unexpected platform for Juliet’s unflinching storytelling. \n“When you give all your grace away to those who don’t deserve it\, there’s no saving grace for yourself\,” Lloyd sings on the album’s leadoff single\, “Pretty.” It’s a line that takes aim in equal parts at both narrator and subject\, a common device throughout Carnival’s lyrics. \nThe central theme of Carnival and that of its title track is not being too precious about any one experience or decision. Take them for what they are\, live in the moment\, and move on when they’re done. It acknowledges also that memory can be subjective\, and ambiguous—was an experience ultimately a good thing or a bad thing? And whose memory can you rely on to determine the answer to that question? \nThese questions are on full display in one of the album’s standout tracks\, “Sorry Now\,” a raw and immediate interrogation of divorce. “Why does it feel like the choices of who gets the knife set\, the mattress\, the old picture frames are harder than choosing to leave in the first place?” Juliet sings over a sparse keyboard accompaniment before the track kicks in with a lush\, R&B-inflected production. \n \nJim Myers also joins us this day.

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special - 4/15 - Annie Stokes / Water Tower
DESCRIPTION:One of Annie Stokes’ earliest memories is watching the PBS broadcast of Sondheim’s musical ‘Into the Woods’ and rewinding the scenes to study what the actors did to make the audience laugh or react. “There was a never a version of my life where I wasn’t going to be a performer\,” she says. But her connection to a televised musical went a bit deeper than getting praise from an audience: she wanted\, from an early age\, to collect stories. To see how they all bind us together. \nA childhood spent alternately in dance studios\, buried in books\, or outside on the easternmost seam of the Blue Ridge Mountains shaped Annie’s childhood and teen years\, before college allowed her to pursue the study of history and gender (two themes that come up frequently in Annie’s work). After giving a ‘real’ job the (literal) old college try\, it became evident to her that her life’s calling was in music and performance\, albeit not on Broadway. Annie’s parents got her a Breedlove guitar for her 21st birthday\, and she diligently began paying her dues at open mics\, bars\, street festivals\, and anywhere that would let her plug in her mini Fishman amp and set out a tip jar. “If I’d had a clue about the scope of what I was endeavoring to do\, I might have been too overwhelmed to try.” While taking the long way certainly has its share of potholes (and cheap motels)\, Annie greeted 2020 with nearly a decade of hands-on experience in the independent\, DIY school of musicianship. \nAnd then the world changed\, on a big and small scale. The pandemic coincided with new motherhood\, and Annie and her husband (and bandmate and co-writer) Will Berger found themselves hunkered down with a newborn baby and a half-finished album. “When you have a child\, you have to squeeze an hour out of 20 minutes\, and when the world is locked down\, you have to pause. So we just cracked open some moments.” The result was their 2021 album “The One That Gets Away”\, which would go on to win the 2022 WAMMIE (Washington Area Music Award) for Best Country/Americana Album. Written and produced by Stokes and Berger\, this album finally encapsulated the sound that had been gestating and forming since that 21st birthday Breedlove was unwrapped\, and audiences (and the industry) responded accordingly. \nAnnie teamed up with producer Austin Bello for her 2023 EP “Wild Rose” which brought further acclaim and placements\, including being featured on season 6 of The Martha Bassett Show. Currently\, she is working with Bello on her upcoming full length LP\, due out in early 2025. \n \n“Water Tower is this wonderful band that is made up of “the lost boys”… its like a soup kitchen for those in need of belonging and family who have been through some of the experiences they have over come” -Grand Ole Country Bunker. \nFrontman Kenny Feinstein (right) has spent more than 15 years curating the band to what it is today. In 2005 he began performing and recording with the Water Tower Bucket Boys then modified members and style as Water Tower String Band. In 2018 he moved from his Portland Oregon roots to Los Angeles where he began the new iteration of the band as known simply as Water Tower. The core group is made up of three unlikely protégés who came from very different backgrounds to form one great sound of their own. Kenny brings solid string experience (banjo\, mandolin\, fiddle\, guitar) in his favorite genres of Punk Rock\, Old Time Music and Bluegrass. Soon after moving to Los Angeles he met Tommy Drinkard \, an audio engineer \, songwriter and front-man for his own rock band called Tommy Drinkard and the Remedy. Tommy who is already a great electric and acoustic guitar player began taking banjo lessons from Kenny and within a year he won first place intermediate banjo at the highly acclaimed Topanga Banjo and Fiddle Competition. Soon their songwriting collaboration began to take place and songs like “The River Song”\, “Fivers” and “AMPM” began to form their sound. Soon after that\, they met Jesse Blue Eads a 19 year old jazz bassist who held his own on the banjo. They met while busking at the beach in Southern California. Unbeknownst to Kenny and Tommy at the time Jesse had just received a Jazz Award from Berklee School of Music. Amazing sounds were heard across the beach as the three met and traded styles and licks for hours including what would become the double banjo performance signature sound in songs like “Take me Back” . Together they share their love for Bluegrass\, Old Time\, Jam Grass while adding their individual infusion of reggae and rock (Tommy Drinkard)\, Jazz and prog-rock (Jesse Blue Eads) and Punk Rock & Old Time styles (Kenny Feinstein).

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special - 4/16 - Cabage and Vann / A Lee Edwards
DESCRIPTION:A. Lee (Alan) Edwards has been making music for 30 years. It’s been an essential element throughout his entire life. That said\, his new music represents a rebirth of sorts\, one that’s manifest in not one\, but two new albums\, Interpreting Heart Sounds Vol. I and Interpreting Heart Sounds Vol. II. Produced by Alan Lee Edwards and mixed by the legendary John Wood (the man behind the boards for Nick Drake\, Fairport Convention\, John Cale\, Squeeze\, and Richard and Linda Thompson)\, the new album is a major milestone in a career that has already spawned five albums — three under the aegis of “Lou Ford” and two under the handle of “The Loudermilks.” \nRecorded at the famed Echo Mountain Recording Studios in Asheville North Carolina\, both albums were engineered by Kenny Harrington\, mixed and mastered by the team at Well Made Music in Bristol\, TN.\, and pressed locally at Citizen Vinyl in Asheville. Vol. 1 is a band-oriented effort\, while Vol. 2 features a more stripped down sound with the addition of strings. \nVol. 1 also features a guest appearance by Richard Thompson on the track titled “John on the Run.” \nThe songs are both tender and enticing\, from the decidedly down home delivery of “Caroline” and the earnest and engaging “Ride On\,” to the reflective sounds of “John on the Run\,” “Mom (Always Liked You)” and “How Blue.” They epitomize the approach of an artist solely in control of his craft while inspired by honesty\, integrity\, creativity and craft. \n \nIt’s East Tennessee’s Own Bill Cabage and Griffin Cavender Vann also on todays Plate! \n

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special - 4/17 - Wright Gatewood / Dark Waters Project
DESCRIPTION:The Dark Waters Project is a Nashville based band that plays what they like to call\, Darkgrass. Their music is a blend of multiple genre’s but is greatly influenced by Bluegrass and Alternative Rock. The band has a long list of previously played venues and positive reviews from all over North America and from countless people in the music industry. Dark Waters is led by vocal duo\, Cherish Hamby and Adam Hamby. Cherish and Adam do a vast majority of the bands songwriting\, with occasional covers that they love to make their own. \nThey have won multiple awards for songwriting and performance; including The Smoky Mountain Songwriting Festival\, where they finished 1st in the Pop (Dream Again)\, Blues (Deep Red) and Rock (Sober) Genera’s\, 2nd in Bluegrass (Bridges) and won the Grand Prize / Song of the Year with their song\, “Deep Red” in 2018. They have also been featured on radio and nationally televised shows\, like The Dugger Mountain Music Hall and Jim Parker’s Songwriters Showcase. \nAdam and Cherish have had a number of different band members over the last 9 years\, from small 3 piece acts to large 7 piece groups. From 2012-14\, they had a 5 piece Alternative Rock band often described as The Civil Wars fronting Evanescence. They had their first collaborative album titled\, “The Rains”\, produced in the Fall of 2014 by Mike Hartnett. Their new album\, titled “The Darkgrass Sessions” was released in July 2019 and was their second album together. The Darkgrass Sessions was produced by Lee Groitzsch\, with a number of the songs co-produced by Noel Golden. \nAdam is one of the founding members of the band and is one of two lead vocals. He has been the lead singer of 3 different bands over the last decade\, releasing an EP with 2 of them (The Fifth Seal 2005; Stonesfall 2007) and a solo album titled “Trails\,” in 2003. Influenced heavily by his Christian faith\, he writes and sings from his soul and it can be heard in both his voice and lyrics. He had a song reach Christian radio in the mid 2000’s called\, “Mercedes” with his former band\, The Fifth Seal. \nCherish is one of the founding members of Dark Waters and is also one of the lead vocalists. She is often seen as the face of Dark Waters. Her voice is as stirring\, beautiful and unique as Stevie Nicks or Jewel\, but it’s all her own. She has worked with some of the best that Nashville has to offer. Mark Miller and Garth Brooks paid for and offered some of Garth’s band members to record her first album in 2001 – the entire EP was produced\, engineered and paid for by Mark Miller of Forerunner\, Jacks Tracks and Allentown Studios (production and engineering credits include Garth Brooks\, Trisha Yearwood\, Kathy Mattea\, Chris LeDoux\, George Jones). A few of the songs saw radio play all over the Southeast US in the early 2000’s. She has also been produced by George Cocchini (Third Day\, DC Talk\, Rich Mullins\, Sawyer Brown\, Steven Curtis Chapman). She released her second self-titled EP “Cherish” in 2001\, but is now the heart of the Dark Waters Project. \n \nWright Gatewood\, a southern rascal lost in the heart of Chicago started ruminating on what storytelling might mean to us\, five\, ten\, fifteen years down the road. How might sounds of the past circle back around? The answers lay hidden in the songs. A recent Merlefest Songwriting Competition finalist\, Wright Gatewood released his debut EP vol. 1: the city\, the first in his Wayward Triptych series\, in the winter of 2019. Through generous grant funded support from Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events\, Wright released vol. 2: the land in the spring of 2024. With an emotional palette that plays with your heart strings\, Wright strives to bring ideals of the helpless wanderers\, the rapscallions of yesteryear\, and the dreamers of tomorrow to your ears as he pieces the parts together.

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special - 4/22 - Daniel Miller / Ordinary Elephant
DESCRIPTION:Mesmerizing folk duo Ordinary Elephant has spent the better part of the last decade on a never-ending tour that’s earned married couple Crystal and Pete Damore widespread critical acclaim and made fans of luminaries like Tom Paxton and Mary Gauthier. In 2017\, the pair took home the International Folk Music Award for Artist of the Year on the strength of their breakout album\, Before I Go\, and two years later\, they returned with the similarly lauded Honest\, which the Associated Press hailed as “one of the best Americana albums of the year.” \nThe band’s new stripped-down\, self-titled collection is the purest distillation of their sound yet\, showcasing the arresting power of the couple’s gorgeous harmonies and intricate fretwork. The songs are timeless\, rooted in rich\, character-driven storytelling\, and the performances are similarly transportive\, fueled by delicately intertwined banjo\, guitar\, and octave mandolin. Though the songs were born out of a period of deep uncertainty\, the record itself is a work of profound self-assurance\, one delivered by a duo whose personal and professional lives embody the limitless possibility of honest\, organic collaboration. Press play on Ordinary Elephant and you’ll hear more than just a husband and wife; you’ll hear the sound of sincerity and commitment\, of patience and gratitude\, of learning to let go of expectation and revel in the simple beauty of the moment. \n \nDaniel Miller is a singer-songwriter with a penchant for centering his music on locales that inspire him. “I tend to focus on an area or region that strikes me and write songs about that place. My focus isn’t on limiting a record to fit into a specific bin on a store shelf; it’s to tell a story.

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special - 4/30 - Ben McLaughlin
DESCRIPTION:Ben McLaughlin offers music that sounds like an electrified awakening earned within a psychedelic-folk odyssey.\nAt his core\, McLaughlin is a songwriter\, tethered to the ethers as much as his human vessel; an audible translator from his small corner of the universe. Sewn throughout his newest batch of songs\, is the mourning of the inevitable winds of change through Self and family structures\, the walking hand-in-hand with one’s own inner child\, and at the end of it all\, coming to a place of peace with how things are Now.\nA multi-instrumentalist and audio engineer\, he self-produces the songs he has written within the meditative state\, weaving together melodic thoughts of self- and environmental-dissection with organic production. Reminiscent of a time when vinyl was king\, the final results extends an open hand to the listener to experience an authenticity that allows them to lovingly transcend to their own higher essence. \nhttps://youtu.be/uYEzrCal-wA?si=SHDAFDN0e2gWH9Ik

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special - 5/1 – Hardin Valley Thunder / Ally Venable
DESCRIPTION:Texas blues-rock singer/songwriter and guitarist extraordinaire\, Ally Venable\, entertains wherever she goes. With her signature glitter dresses and black knee-high boots\, Venable comes off of the ropes swinging dazzling crowds on tour or throughout the festival circuit. “Venable pulls off a stunner of gritty and/or sultry blues rock tunes embellished with lots of tasty guitar solos.” – Guitar Player Magazine. A Kilgore\, Texas native\, Ally began singing at church at four and picked up the guitar at age 12. By 13\, she started her own band and through her early influence of Stevie Ray Vaughan captured the passion and yearning for more in the blues genre. Early releases No Glass Shoes (2016) and Puppet Show (2018) started her fanbase\, charting radio play\, and several East Texas Music Awards. It was 2019’s #2 Billboard Blues charting Texas Honey and rocking sets on Ruf’s European Blues Caravan tour that propelled her internationally. “Ally is the future of blues and the crossover music of American roots-rock.” – Mike Zito. In what silenced many musicians during the pandemic\, Venable now in her 20’s\, released another Blues Billboard charting album\, Heart of Fire (2021)\, which challenged her to write not only about love but the unguarded honesty of feeling pain.”On this album\,I really wanted to create a tone of overcoming your struggles and persevering through them\,” she explains. Mentor and featured artist on this album\, Kenny Wayne Shepherd\, lends his guitar skills on XM Bluesville’s charted song\, “Bring on the Pain.” In 2022\, Guitar World Magazine named Ally #2 on the top 15 Young Guns Making the Gibson Les Paul Cool Again\, and she received the Road Warrior award from the Independent Blues Music Awards. Along with Ally’s own tour domestically and in Europe\, her band has supported Buddy Guy and Kenny Wayne Shepherd throughout the US\, as well as Colin James in Canada. She has performed as a featured artist on the Experience Hendrix Show at the ACL Live at Moody Theater in Austin\, Texas. Venable’s recent spring 2023 release produced by Grammy award winning producer\, Tom Hambridge\, includes a duet with the iconic Buddy Guy and a song featuring powerhouse guitarist Joe Bonamassa debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues Charts & has remained in the top 100 since the release date. \nhttps://youtu.be/vCM00X-lmbU?si=l9SAe5dN7PgwLvwy \nHardin Valley Thunder ( Pellissippi State Bluegrass Band) will also join us this day! \n
