SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special - 7/14 - Mark Buerschaper / Roy Saunders
DESCRIPTION:Roy Saunders is an acoustic guitarist and vocalist striving to provide music to the great state of Georgia\, one ear at a time. \n \nSince Aug. 2020\, Mark Buerschaper has begun releasing the singles from his album\, “One Year B.C.” While all of the material was written during the stages of the Covid era\, Mark likes to say that 1 and 1/2 songs are only about Covid. The album features the full gamut of his style which runs from introspective folk to novelty and alternative indie genres. Much of the commentary is about perceived social norms.

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special - 7/15 - Great Aunt
DESCRIPTION:Great Aunt is a genre-bending folk duo from Australia\, known for their soaring harmonies\, dynamic instrumentation\, and heart-felt live performances. Winners of the 2024 Folk Alliance Australia Duo of the Year\, Great Aunt—comprising Megan Bird (mandolin\, resonator\, acoustic guitar\, vocals) and Chelsea Allen (double bass\, vocals\, percussion)—craft music that is rooted in folk\, bluegrass\, and roots traditions\, yet refreshingly shaped by their diverse backgrounds in punk\, jazz\, soul\, and rock. \nWith foot-stomping rhythm\, bombastic bass drum\, and richly textured harmonies\, their sound is instantly recognisable and wholly original. Great Aunt write music from the heart: “a personal and shared revival” — joyfully\, tenderly\, and often with a sly wink. \nTheir work has drawn comparisons to the anti-folk and indie scenes for its “lyrical wit and rhythmic dexterity” (Adeem the Artist)\, while The Bluegrass Situation (USA) calls them “an Australian duo you need to know\,” praising their “impressive log of tours\, festival shows\, and releases.” Wax Vinyl Records (UK) describes their latest single “What’s A Girl To Do Now?” as “poignant and empowering… a message of frustration and resilience\, addressing societal norms and expectations placed upon women.” \nThe duo has performed at some of Australia’s most beloved festivals—including Woodford Folk Festival\, Blue Mountains Music Festival\, Yackandandah Folk Festival\, and Deni Ute Muster—and completed three tours of the United States\, earning fans and accolades along the way. They’ve shared stages with a broad spectrum of artists such as Adeem the Artist (US)\, Joe Crookston (US)\, Vika & Linda Bull (AUS)\, The Weeping Willows (AUS)\, Paisley Fields (USA)\, Mary Flower (USA)\, and Kerryn Fields (NZ)\, among others. \nIn 2024\, Great Aunt released two acclaimed singles—“Freeburgh” and “What’s A Girl To Do Now?”\, the latter spending multiple weeks atop the Australian AMRAP Regional Radio chart. These releases mark the lead-up to the duo’s highly anticipated debut full-length album\, It’s All Downhill From Here\, due out in mid-2025. \nThey return to North America in July 2025 for their fourth U.S. tour\, with upcoming performances at Ossipee Valley Music Festival in Maine and the renowned Red Ants Pants Music Festival in Montana—two of the country’s most beloved celebrations of roots music and community. The tour coincides with the release of their latest single\, “The Little Things”\, to be released July 9 2025. \nEqual parts celebration and reclamation\, Great Aunt’s music is a testament to the power of harmony—musical and emotional. Their music is a joyful and gutsy revival\, delivered with warmth\, wit\, and undeniable soul. \n \n

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special - 7/17 - Elonzo Wesley
DESCRIPTION:Elonzo Wesley began in 2015\, brainchild of singer songwriter Jeremy Davis. Beginning as a solo artist\, but also now performing as a string band\, Elonzo Wesley has released two EP’s (To Be True\, This Ain’t No Country Song) \, a live album (Live at the Evening Muse)\, and two full length albums. Most recently\, releasing 2019’s Songs To No One\, on the heels of multiple national tours. \nGrowing up in South Carolina\, the son of a farmer\, Davis spent his childhood in the woods and fields of the lowcountry. That plainness\, that closeness to the land\, that Americana shines though in the simple beauty of the music that Elonzo Wesley creates. As Joni Deutsch of NPR put it\, “a beautifully poignant dance of Appalachian strings and soul.” \nCarrying his father’s name as a moniker and guide\, Elonzo Wesley\, at it’s best is; the musical truth of the moment\, combined with the beauty of what has passed. \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHdJK_FJfRA

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special - 7/19 - The Will Kruger Band
DESCRIPTION:Kruger shares a style that recalls many of his earliest folk music influences\, among them\, Peter\, Paul and Mary\, Simon & Garfunkel\, Gordon Lightfoot\, John Denver and James Taylor in particular. \nHe’s toured nationally\, sharing his “Folk Legend’s Tribute Show” at house concerts\, libraries\, conservation events\, coffee houses\, corporate functions and larger auditoriums in addition to appearances at a number of Nashville venues. \nFour of his songs were featured in the films\, “God Where Are You” and “Grace Of The Father.” In addition\, he played the part of Noel Paul Stookey in the nationally touring Las Vegas tribute group\, “Peter Paul & Mary Alive\,” for several years. \nKruger\, who performs regularly in East Tennessee at The Smoky Mountain Brewery\, The Listening Room Cafe\, Calhoun’s\, and The Abbey\, said he’s been playing music over 50 years. “Music can convey emotion on so many levels\,” he said. “Music does that for me.

I have a saying: ‘Have I ever told you how much I love music?”‘ \n– Lee Zimmerman\nThe Daily Times \n \n

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special – 7/21 – Noah Gabriel / Dyer Davis
DESCRIPTION:Noah Gray is an American singer\, songwriter\, instrumentalist and producer. His music is characterized by confessional\, personal songwriting conveyed through a chameleonic\, genre-bending production style. From the 80’s synth pop of cut you off\, to the ethereal folk found in flowers\, to hip-hop and R&B influenced cuts like leavemealone and pressure\, Noah utilizes music as a medium to convey a bigger story. \nHis debut album\, fluorescent\, was released on July 28th\, 2023. Following a linear\, fictional story\, the self-written and produced album is a concept album based around the aesthetic of New York nightlife. Sonically\, the album is a love letter to mid-2010’s alternative pop\, similar to the stylings of Lorde\, Halsey\, the 1975\, PVRIS\, Hayley Kiyoko\, Troye Sivan\, Lana Del Rey\, and more. \n \nDyer Davis is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist known for his electrifying performances and a sound deeply rooted in southern blues rock. Davis’ powerful debut album; “Dog Bites Back”\, debuted at #6 in the Billboard Blues Charts and was praised by Downbeat Magazine who stated “Dyer Davis brings new immediacy to blues and blues-rock by singing as if he were probing a deep recess within him. His album jumps him to the front row of the most promising young up-and-comers.”

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special – 7/23 – Heavy Diamond Ring
DESCRIPTION:Some things are just meant to last. When Sarah Anderson and Paul DeHaven met and began playing together in 2004\, they had no idea just how deep the well of their musical partnership would prove to be. After the disbanding of indie-folk sweethearts Paper Bird\, the duo founded Heavy Diamond Ring and never looked back. HDR is the culmination (thus far) of their signature sound\, a fountain of open-hearted\, folk-rock\, steeped in vocal harmony and group synergy. Led by Anderson’s smooth-as-honey vocals and DeHaven’s rugged guitar chops\, the band has been described as “open-road\, long drive music”\, having “a little bit of twang\, and a whole lot of beef”\, and their live show as “infectious and contagious”. The band is rounded out by veteran knockouts Blake Stepan (bass)\, Mike Lang (keys)\, and Orion Tate Ignelzi (drums). Their second full-length LP\, “All Out of Angels”\, out this fall\, was produced by Ben Wysocki (the Fray) and Mark Anderson and features a duet with Nathaniel Rateliff. Out now on Cowboy Cowabunga Recordings. \n \n

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special – 7/24 – Oak Hill Drifters

SUMMARY:The WDVX Big Plate – 7/25 – Ettore Buzzini
DESCRIPTION:When you think about Bluegrass music\, you don’t think about grand emotional and spiritual journeys that pierce your soul; yet that is exactly what Ettore Buzzini is creating with his innovative\, classical-infused American bluegrass music. \nTo the casual listener\, Ettore’s sound is simply hard-driving Bluegrass. But anyone who listens a little more closely will quickly notice that Ettore’s unique music intersects the iconic acoustic sounds of Americana\, youthful energy and hard drive of pop-rock\, and emotional journeys of classical romantic music. Imagine if Earl Scruggs\, Led Zeppelin\, and Chopin got together on stage: it might sound something like Ettore’s music. \nMulti-award winning young Swiss-American songwriting and banjo prodigy Ettore has a decidedly GenAlpha take on traditional Bluegrass\, rooted in tradition\, but with a innovative\, colorful playing style that is irresistibly distinct\, and a songwriting style completely outside the mainstream. His unique\, fresh style that appeals to non-bluegrass youth is a product of his roots on both sides. He was imbued with the classical tradition while living with his family in Italian-speaking Switzerland\, as a toddler. At age 6\, his Tennessee grandfather introduced him to Flatt & Scruggs\, and he was hit by bluegrass like a lightning bolt. He begged his parents for a banjo for nearly 3 years until\, at age 9\, they relented. Ettore’s love for banjo expanded across the generational iterations of bluegrass. He devoured the traditional bluegrass classics\, while also becoming enthralled by the power of classical music\, inspired by his Swiss grandparents’ sacred choir. Ettore made a name for himself at youth competitions in the Blue Ridge Mountains with his prodigious banjo picking style as well as his mastery of flatpicking guitar. He then revealed a completely new level of artistry at just 11 years old\, when he won the Kruger Brothers’ Young Songwriter’s Contest\, with an original banjo and lyrical composition about the Norse mythology of Ragnarok. By age 14\, he had released his first album\, after being approached by legendary bluegrass record label Patuxent Records. He has performed with bluegrass legends Pete Wernick\, Danny Paisley\, Sideline and many others. He has performed at celebrated festivals such as Merlefest and FloydFest\, PBS’s Woodsongs\, and more. At age 16\, competing against industry professionals\, he won the prestigious Fresh Grass Competition with his original composition\, “The Birth of Eros”\, a banjo instrumental with a classical romantic theme of a lost soul’s hope of redemption and love. \nEttore’s star is soaring in the Folk-Americana-Bluegrass scene\, where his unique\, virtuosic Between his prodigious technical skill\, unique lyrical themes and an infectious love of the music\, he may just succeed in turning GenAlpha into GenBlue.

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special – 7/28 – Nate Currin
DESCRIPTION:With over 900 shows performed and more than 800\,000 miles behind him\, Nate Currin is a troubadour in the truest sense. Rooted in the red clay of North Georgia\, his voice carries the grit and soul of the South\, yet his songwriting is marked by an emotional authenticity that defies pretense. Over the years\, Nate has shared stages with some of the industry’s biggest names\, had his music featured on major television shows\, and earned accolades along the way — yet he remains a storyteller at heart\, chasing genuine human connection one song\, one show\, one listener at a time. \nFrom sold-out clubs to listening rooms and even a four-year stretch living on the road in a motorhome\, Nate has built his career on the back of hard miles and real moments. His dedication has earned him 5 International Music & Entertainment Awards — including multiple Songwriter of the Year honors—as well as nominations for Indie Music Awards and a Georgia Music Award. \nSeveral of his albums have landed in the Top 20 on the iTunes / Apple charts\, including The Madman and the Poet (2016). His 2019 release\, Ashes & Earth\, featured the fan-favorite track Oklahoma\, which gained recognition after being featured in Showtime’s TV show Shameless. \nNow\, Nate is gearing up to release his 7th studio album\, GHOST TOWN (pre-order the album now) in the summer of 2025\, a record that weaves together themes of longing\, ghosts of the past\, and the beauty found in broken places. Produced by Matthew Odmark and Jon Poole\, the album was recorded in both Nashville and Georgia\, blending rich\, organic instrumentation with the kind of raw storytelling that has defined Nate’s career. This new chapter promises to be one of his most compelling yet—another testament to a songwriter who isn’t afraid to dig deep\, make mistakes\, and bring back something true and inspiring.

SUMMARY:Tennessee Shines - 8/6 - Kelsey Waldon & The Muleskinners / Handsome & the Humbles / Redd & the Paper Flowers
DESCRIPTION:East Tennessee’s Own WDVX presents Tennessee Shines at the Historic Bijou Theatre in downtown Knoxville on Wednesday Night August Sixth at Seven.\nThis is a FREE SHOW featuring Kelsey Waldon & The Muleskinners\, East Tennessee’s Own Handsome and The Humbles and Redd & the Paper Flowers. This show is made possible by Tennessee Stone and Modelo Especial! \nIn the six years since she signed to John Prine’s Oh Boy Records\, Kelsey Waldon has earned wide praise for her “self-penned compositions [with] the patina of authenticity” (Rolling Stone). On her new album\, Every Ghost\, she confronts addiction\, grief\, generational trauma\, and even herself — and comes through it stronger and at peace. \n“There’s a lot of hard-earned healing on this record\,” Waldon says of the nine-song project\, recorded at Southern Grooves studio in Memphis with her band\, The Muleskinners. As she sings in the record’s title track and first song\, “Ghost of Myself\,” she’s put in the work not only to better herself and leave behind bad habits\, but also to learn to love her past selves. \nDoing so wasn’t easy\, Waldon admits. “It took time and experience\,” she says\, adding that she can now find compassion for her younger self. \n“I think you’ve gotta respect her\,” Waldon says\, “because she was trying as hard as she could for where she was at\, and she was doing a damn good job.” \nCompassion is a throughline on Every Ghost\, whether it’s for Waldon herself\, for the person in the throes of addiction in “Falling Down\,” or for a suffering world in “Nursery Rhyme.” The people in Waldon’s songs aren’t irredeemable — they’re struggling. \n“You’ve got to have compassion; you gotta stay humble and have gratitude\,” Waldon says. However\, she’s learned that you also can’t let people take advantage of an empathetic heart. “Comanche” — which Waldon jokes is her very own truck song — finds Waldon grappling with the loss of a loved one\, not to death but to boundaries she’s set for her own good. Waldon owns a 1988 Jeep Comanche\, and driving it serves as a kind of therapy for her. \n“I love the whole aspect of when design mattered\,” she says\, “and owning your car was an expression of yourself.” \n“Comanche” is deeply personal\, but Waldon’s most introspective reflections bookend My Ghost. Its penultimate song\, “My Kin\,” extends the idea of loving yourself in spite of yourself beyond the choices she’s made and the circumstances she’s put herself in\, to reckon with both the good and the bad that come from her family tree. Those traits\, Waldon concludes\, make her who she is. \n“As the song says\, ‘I’m the best and worst of my kin\,’ and I love that for myself\,” says Waldon\, who was born and raised in a hunting lodge at the end of a dead-end road in the rural\, unincorporated community of Monkey’s Eyebrow\, Ky. “And I’m also at a point where I’m willing to break these cycles\, I’m willing to grow\, I’m willing to evolve.” \nAmong those best parts of her lineage is Waldon’s grandmother\, who died in June 2024. “She was a remarkable woman. The women in my family have been rocks\, and they’ve all been colorful and full of character\,” Waldon says. \n“Her garden and her yard\, that might have been one of the things she took the most pride in\,” Waldon adds\, recalling how her granny would often stop to dig up roadside flowers\, then transplant them into her yard. A display of tiger lilies\, some of which now grow in Waldon’s yard in Tennessee\, was a particular point of pride. \n“Transplanting is such a tradition — it can teach you a lot\,” Waldon says. “Life goes on\, beauty can grow from anywhere\, and as long as a person is remembered\, they’re never gone.” \nWaldon honors her granny with the song “Tiger Lilies.” She didn’t want an over-the-top sentimental song\, so she instead leaned into the idea of traditions as a way to remember loved ones. “I’m sure Granny would love it\,” Waldon says. \nEvery Ghost concludes with a Hazel Dickens cover\, “Ramblin’ Woman.” Waldon covered two Dickens songs on 2024’s There’s Always a Song and had added “Ramblin’ Woman” to their live sets as well. While Waldon didn’t originally intend to include their cover on this album\, it served as “a sonic star” during the recording process and has a message Waldon feels is still relevant decades after Dickens wrote it. “Hazel was ahead of her time\,” Waldon says. “Our existence is more than just what society expects of us. We’re more than just somebody’s girlfriend or wife or mother\, and those are all beautiful things\, but we can have our own independence\, and we don’t have to do it for anybody else. We’re beautiful\, magical\, and powerful creatures.” \nThat’s certainly how Waldon sees herself after completing Every Ghost. “It feels like there’s a spirit of fearlessness throughout this album\,” Waldon says\, “and I’m really proud of that.” \nWaldon’s fearlessness is among the reasons she landed at Oh Boy Records in 2019\, as the independent label’s first new signee in 15 years. It’s attracted fans to her headline tours and her festival sets\, and prompted artists including Tyler Childers\, Charley Crockett\, Robert Earl Keen\, Margo Price\, and Lucinda Williams to invite her on tour. It helped earn her both the title of “Kentucky Colonel” — an honor recognizing goodwill ambassadors of Kentucky’s culture and traditions — and a spot in the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s annual American Currents exhibit in 2024. \n“True outlaw shit is sticking to your guns\, and I feel like I’m doing that\,” Waldon says. “I’m not saying I’m unbreakable\, but I feel almost unbreakable. I’ve already hurt the worst that I could and lived to tell the story. We can be thankful for our ghosts.” \n \nRedd & The Paper Flowers is an Appalachian Folk / Livingroom Folk band from Knoxville\, Tennessee with members Katie Adams (upright bass)\, Colleen d’Alelio (cello)\, Gavin Gregg (mandolin)\, and Redd Daugherty (guitar). \nThe band met in 2022 through a local open mic and mutual friends\, and they just released their debut album\, Appalachian Bell Jar\, a record that is a testament to East Tennessee and greater Appalachia’s beauty\, struggles with government support\, and their experiences in the area. \nThe band has grown extremely close over the past three years\, particularly in touring: In 2025 alone\, they’re on the road for 22 weeks out of the year. The band also grew through the tragedy of Redd Daugherty losing her dear friend\, Jason Cooper\, who owned a local Knoxville music store named Rush’s Music\, which has been a staple of the Knoxville music community since 1958. From Coop’s tragic death\, Redd found out he willed her the business\, his estate\, and his dog\, Ando\, who passed in April 2024. Redd owns\, operates\, and works at Rush’s alongside Katie and Gavin during their off time from touring\, which services over 90 schools. \nTheir second album\, Dead Little Thing\, will highlight the struggles from this experience and is set to release January 2026. \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TU2Z91d6LuQ \nThe best songs\, the thinking goes\, are the ones written from real-life experiences\, but those experiences sometimes exact a heavy toll. \nJosh Smith\, the singer and songwriter for Handsome and the Humbles\, knows that all too well. “Draw Some Blood\,” the new album by the Knoxville-based Americana outfit\, is built on a foundation of loss that knocked the gregarious and affable frontman to his knees … but in so doing\, gifted him with a record that smolders like the orange coals of a once mighty conflagration. \n“None of these songs are really about my dad\, but the sadness I experienced from his death\, as well as the loss of my marriage\, is pretty much the foundation of this album\,” Smith says. \nIt’s a profoundly intimate affair\, evolving from the skeletal framework of scribbled lyrics in the dead of night and rudimentary chords on an acoustic guitar. Upon those bones\, Smith and guitarist Josh Hutson began to bring the record to life in Hutson’s garage (affectionately nicknamed “The Ding Don Den”) using an iPhone interface to record everything but drum tracks on three songs. \n“I’d lay down an acoustic track\, he’d do electric\, then I’d do bass and vocals\, and we’d go back and do background vocals\,” Smith says. “They started sounding better than we anticipated\, so we just decided that since it’s so hard to get everyone together\, we’d just release what we have.” \nAlong the way\, they migrated to professional studios and recording spaces\, adding band members (guitarist Marcus Balanky\, former-and-sometimes-fill-in drummer Lauryl Brisson) and friends (drummer Kris “Tugboat” Killingsworth\, organist Matt Coker) to sculpt the tracks into a fully realized new record. \nThe finished creation is both warm and familiar and a startling departure\, made evident by the opening track “Be Around.” Ruminations on friendships during those dark times buoyed his spirits and inspired the shimmering ambiance that owes as much to the Flaming Lips as it does to any alt-country touchstones to which Handsome and the Humbles compare. \nAnd yet those touchstones remain … polished in ways that are a direct result of the musical intimacy shared between friends who first shared a stage together as teenagers. On “Now I Know\,” Hutson plays a guitar-slinging foil every bit as adept as Nels Cline to Smith’s Jeff Tweedy\, stomping through a swirling maelstrom of regret over the end of the latter’s marriage: “When everything means so much\, nothing means anything\,” he sings\, bone-tired weariness hanging on every syllable\, regret tinging every chord. \nThat regret lingers on “Nice Things” – “you’d think by now I’d be better than this” are the words of a man still coming to terms with a profoundly life-changing experience\, and once again Hutson’s fretwork serves as Smith’s North Star through the foggy remnants of remorse. \nHere’s the thing about “Alt-Country\,” though: Smith’s stories might burn like straight whiskey\, but the music is the sweet fire of bliss that follows. Whether it’s Brisson on sticks giving “Fades Away” a “D’yer Mak’er”-style groove or Coker coaxing “Exile”-era Stones juju on a song like “You Walked Away\,” there’s joy to be found in this collection\, if for nothing else than the simple fact that pain fades and the sun always rises. \nLight\, Smith has learned over time\, is always on the horizon\, somewhere in the distance\, guiding a path through the darkness. That’s a theme that Handsome and the Humbles have championed since the band came together around an EP titled “Hallelujah\, Alright\,” the capstone of which\, “Knoxville Lights\,” was a shambling rock ‘n’ roll homage to the cityscape as seen from a weary traveler crossing the mountains. Two full-length records followed — “Have Mercy” and “We’re All the Same\,” along with another EP (“400 Cigarettes”) a couple of years ago. \n“Alt-Country” is a continuation of the band’s journey to places “both frightening and stunning\,” as Smith croons on the new record’s final track\, “Returning to You.” And as that song fades\, he assures us: “When I’m alone\, my heart keeps returning to you.” \nIt seems natural to assume he’s talking about the loved ones he’s lost along the way\, but there are greater forces at work here\, made evident in the beauty carved from the granite face of pain: \nHe’s returning to the light\, and the fans and bandmates and opportunities that music has always provided\, and we are all the better for it. \n-Steve Wildsmith

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special - 8/8 - Robinella
DESCRIPTION:Robinella’s career began with a sort of luck that rarely comes to most artists within their lifetime. What started out as a simple husband-and-wife duo fresh out of college quickly grew to a full-fledged band that blended Bluegrass\, Country and Jazz. The combination of Robinella’s honey-sweet vocals with violin\, mandolin\, bass\, drums and piano captivated audiences\, thus creating the ever popular Robinella & the CC Stringband. \nThey released their first album\, self-titled Robinella and The CC Stringband\, in 2000\, which quickly followed\, No Saint\, No Prize in 2001. Both were on the independent label Big Gulley Records. With a few simple twists of fate\, what followed was a whirlwind of rapid success – Columbia Records liked what they heard and signed Robinella in 2002. The label took seven songs from the band’s two prior albums and released them as the CD Blanket for My Soul and then released a full album in 2003\, Robinella and the CC Stringband. This led to a national tour including opening for such artists as Bob Dylan\, Willie Nelson\, Earl Scruggs\, Nickel Creek\, Robert Earl Keen\, Kasey Chambers\, Del McCoury and Rodney Crowell as well as an appearance on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” and a music video on CMT for their hit single\, “Man Over”. She also performed on NPR’s “Mountain Stage\,” appeared on the Grand Ole Opry and performed on PBS’s “SoundStage.” In 2006\, Robinella was nominated for “Emerging Artist of the Year” at the Americana Music Awards and released her fourth album\, “Solace for the Lonely”\, on Dualtone Records in Nashville. \nBut then life\, as it has a tendency to do\, threw a few curveballs her way. She became a mom and a couple of years later\, she and her husband/musical partner split up with a new record almost completed. Exhausted and somewhat disillusioned with the industry and its promises\, it was time to regroup\, redefine and get back to her roots. So she returned to her home\, the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains\, and got back in touch with what she truly wanted – love\, family\, friendship\, music\, art\, truth. \nWith that comes her latest release\, “Fly Away Bird”\, her most mature work. However\, within the melancholy and touches of sadness there is not true despair. For such a voice — that dazzling\, warm\, bright-as-summer-sunshine soprano — to even communicate it would most likely defy certain laws of emotional physics. No\, instead\, this album\, beneath the disappointments\, she is brimming with optimism — with hope. You can feel it\, and even more important than that\, you believe — because she believes\, and because her music is so honest and so genuine and so forthright that you just can’t help but knowing that this is an artist who still finds life to be magical.

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special – 8/11 – Jeff Batson
DESCRIPTION:Jeff Batson\, a native of the St. Louis suburb of Cahokia\, IL\, began his musical journey in high school. His early performances at iconic local venues like The Fabulous Fox Theater garnered him a strong following in the local music scene. He has shared the stage with the likes of rock ‘n’ rollers\, Gary U.S. Bonds and Three Doors Down\, country greats including Hank Williams\, Jr.\, Keith Urban\, Tracy Byrd\, and Collin Raye and bluegrass legend\, Dr. Ralph Stanley. The St. Louis Post Dispatch\, in one of their many concert reviews\, declared him “a natural frontman.” After conquering the local scene\, he set his sights on Nashville and\, in 1997\, made the move.​ \nAfter settling in Music City\, Jeff split his time between live performances and honing his songwriting talents\, amassing more than 40 cuts by other artists. “The Rock\,” the title cut on Tracy Lawrence’s Grammy-nominated gospel release\, cracked the Top 20 on the country charts. “Wasted” and “Last Time ‘til the Next Time” were co-written and recorded by Jamie Richards\, who took both songs into the Top 10 on the Texas Music Chart. His own recording of “That’s a Winner\,” which pays tribute to the late great St. Louis Cardinal’s announcer Jack Buck\, remains a St. Louis baseball fan favorite. \nA DOD tour\, performing for the military in Saudi Arabia\, Kuwait\, Bahrain\, the United Arab Emirates\, and Diego Garcia\, gave him a keen understanding of those who serve. Jeff co-wrote “Make a Wish” and “Hometown Heroes\,” both released as singles on Laura Bryna’s debut project for Equity Records Trying to Be Me. “Hometown Heroes” caught the attention of the U.S. Air National Guard\, who created a national promotion using the song in radio commercials and the music video in television commercials. His tribute to the selfless service of firefighters\, “Don’t Call Me a Hero\,” received instant acclaim from the global firefighting community and continues to be played at their events across the country. In 2024-2025 Jeff took two releases\, “End of the Grains” and “Come on Sunshine\,” to the top of the Euro Academy of Country Music Chart. \nIn his songwriting\, Jeff Batson possesses an authentic gift for turning real emotions into music. In his live shows\, he sings those songs with a passion that will excite any fan of good\, honest music.

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special – 8/13 – J. Carmichael
DESCRIPTION:J. Carmichael writes ballads about love\, God\, and a world spinning out of control. Defiance\, perhaps to a fault\, echoes in his music\, from the way he writes\, to the instruments he plays\, to what he writes about. J grew up on Nashville Now\, 90’s punk and indie and he is influenced by the songwriting giants of many genres. Just as comfortable at a fiddle festival as he is at a punk rock show\, never content in the confines of a genre. J has released 3 full length records and a handful of EPs with another album coming in 2025. J spent 2008-2013 recording albums and playing shows from Washington State to Texas playing as an opener for: Lucero\, Tumbledown (Mike of MxPx)\, Scott Biram\, and yet to break out alt country sensation John Moreland. After becoming a father J took several years away from performing and recording and served multiple communities in Idaho and Washington state driving ambulances and fighting a few fires. Some souls however\, are bound to roam and share stories and songs along the way. In 2024 J set out on the road again with a pile of new songs and looks forward to doing even more of it in 2025.
