SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special – 9/4 – B.B. Palmer / Pickers Anonymous
DESCRIPTION:Hailing from the heart of railroad country in Opelika\, Alabama\, cosmic country outfit B.B. Palmer have made a name for themselves over the past several years\, honing a sound steeped in the traditions of American country music. \nThe band’s latest offering\, Krishna Country\, sees the group approaching their craft with a much more expansive worldview — folding traditional Indian sounds into their work and creating a further-mesmerizing brand of ethereal roots music. On paper\, it might seem an unexpected or jolting shift in direction\, but for B.B. Palmer it’s simply the next step forward in their collective journey. \nMake no mistake\, this is still country music at its core\, but the addition of sitar and horns awash in reverb elevates the overall product to something more\, standing on its own as a truly unique output. Imagine if Ravi Shankar recorded with the Byrds backed by Stax’s Memphis Horns\, and you’d be pretty close to imagining this Alabama outfit’s forthcoming output. \n“I found a copy of the Bhagavad Gita\,” Palmer recalls. He pored over the text and found that it resonated with him on a deeply personal level. The book inspired Palmer to dive even deeper into Indian culture. He began listening to and studying raga: a classical style of Indian music. He applied these eastern influences in his own songcraft. Krishna Country Gold showcases his discoveries from this newfound styling\, blending his honky tonk roots with a yet-untapped well of musical modes & instrumentation from India. \nFrom the moment the Bhagavad Gita landed in Palmer’s possession\, to the first drafts of these news songs\, all the way through studio time and mastering\, Krishna Country Gold seemed inevitable despite all the perceived challenges that stood in the way. It’s an undeniably singular output from these Yellowhammer State mainstays\, and a worthy entry in the canon of cosmic “American” music — SWEETHEART PR \n \nPickers Anonymous is an old timey trio consisting of multi-instrumentalists Nicholas Edward Williams (American Songcatcher/The New Quintet)\, Owen Grooms (Travis Book String Band/Pretty Little Goat/Jenn and Owen) and John Benjamin Davis (John Hartford Fiddle Project/Susto String Band). Collecting traditional material and presenting it with their own eclectic filter\, Pickers Anonymous layers high lonesome harmonies on Appalachian sounds from Old-Time\, Bluegrass\, Early Country and Hillbilly Blues. Their debut record\, Patchwork\, is slated for release in late 2025 via EarthTone Records.

SUMMARY:First Friday Live - 9/5 - Ross Cooper
DESCRIPTION:It’s fitting that Ross Cooper would be the first to record a full-length live album in The Boot Shop at Hotel Turkey–by all means\, he was their first Boot Shop Sessions guest. A tried-and-true West Texas native\, Cooper’s songs resonate with the ethos of the Cowboy Spirit—old and new. \n“I only ever wanted to be a cowboy and play music\,” says Cooper. Well\, if the boot fits. Committed to preserving those sentiments\, Cooper’s Panhandle vernacular and rugged\, intimate storytelling are deeply rooted in familial ties. He owes much to his parents\, rodeo royalty in their own right\, who instilled in him a delicate balance of grace and grit that’s reflected not just in his storytelling songs\, but in his very character. \nHis heroes have always been cowboys. \nJune 20th was the Summer Solstice—the longest day of the year. Truth be told\, we all wish it could have lasted just a little while longer. Still\, that extra bit of sunlight seemed to stretch time and space\, allowing memories to settle into each note played and song sung. A gentle\, calming breeze swayed outside as Cooper\, flanked by confidants Mike Dunton and Cheyenne Medders\, delivered stirring renditions of favorites such as “Everybody Wants To Be A Cowboy\,” “I Rode the Wild Horses\,” and “Love Like The Old Days\,” all in front of an audience of friends and family—those muses who inspired Cooper to write these cowboy and love songs in the first place. \nDistractions be damned. Nary a cough\, sigh\, or sneeze broke the silence as Cooper and company played\, their shadows cast on the peeling tan walls behind them\, while their boots softly tapped on the weathered concrete floor of The Boot Shop. Undoubtedly stifling\, especially for Cooper under the lights and amid the summer swelter\, a welcoming intermission eased the evening’s nerves as everyone made their way to the hotel’s cantina for a round of beer and whiskey pours. \nAs golden hour lingered on\, the low buzz of the glowing Boot Shop’s neon sign ushered everyone back inside. While Cooper’s tone often harkens back to a way of life thought to be escaping the world\, in pockets like Turkey\, Texas\, that life endures\, strong and mighty as ever. Still\, while Cooper doesn’t solely focus on the past and nostalgia’s rosy gleam\, the amber beams and blush of a West Texas sunset beautifully illuminate those memories in a resounding fashion.\nThank you!

In 2012\, a documentary about the band\, entitled Scarred but Smarter: Life n Times of Drivin’ N’ Cryin’\, was produced.

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special – 9/15 – Matt Axton ( Hoyt’s son! ) / Chuck Prophet & His Cumbia Shoes
DESCRIPTION:Matt Axton is a gifted singer/songwriter. Granted\, that’s a claim made by many artists that inhabit the world of Americana these days\, but in Matt’s case\, it’s more than a mere boast. The ability to make music is firmly infused in his genes\, courtesy of a family history that implanted that ability in him early on. \nWhile he modestly describes his sound as a “humble slice of Americana\,” it’s clear that it possesses so much more. With a style that encompasses country\, folk\, roots\, rock\, R&B\, and pure pop proficiency\, he defies easy categorization. With a rich reservoir of original tunes — over 300 in fact — and three well received albums (Blue Sky Rain\, Matthew C. Axton and Badmoon)\, he’s established himself as a prolific and proficient singer\, songwriter and guitarist\, both on his own and at the helm of his various ensembles. \nEven a small sampling of his musical output proves the point. His current single\, “Blue Sky Rain\,” the title track of his current album\, is both stirring and seductive\, an easy amble that belies its description of the topsy turvy travails that accompany the entanglements of relationships. \n“Born of Chains\,” culled from Badmoon\, is flush with steadfast determination\, a rugged\, relentless bluesy-rocker that conveys clear conviction and a desire to overcome whatever obstacles are tossed in his way. \n \nWake The Dead – California singer\, songwriter\, guitarist\, and producer Chuck Prophet’s new collaborative album with Cumbia group ¿Qiensave? – was released on October 25th through Yep Roc Records. \nAn extraordinary and unlikely pairing\, Prophet and ¿Qiensave? blend seamlessly together as the collection dives headfirst into the world of Cumbia music\, which consumed and comforted Prophet during a recent bout with stage four lymphoma and subsequent recovery. They also shared the album’s lead single and title track “Wake The Dead\,” an anthem that reckons with forces beyond our control while learning to let go\, a recurring theme at the core of the album. \n“I never want to be a downer\,” stated Prophet. “This record doesn’t shy away from darkness\, but it always feels hopeful. When I was growing up listening to The Clash and their flirtations with reggae\, the thing I remember most is how the music hit me\, how it made me feel. The more you listened\, the more was revealed\, but on the most fundamental level\, those records just felt good\, and that was really important to me with this album.” \nProphet’s fascination with Cumbia music began after experiencing a weekly Cumbia night at a local haunt of his in San Francisco’s Mission district. He quickly became obsessed: collecting old vinyl from Latin America\, studying its origins\, DJ’ing\, and loading his friends up with new mixes every time they came to visit. After he was diagnosed\, he had a lot of time to just sit and listen as he went through treatments. “I was going through a tunnel\,” he recalls. “It was dark. But I had music: music to play\, music to listen to\, music to get me out of my head. Music was my savior.” More than any other genre\, Cumbia served as a faithful musical companion and reprieve during his immunotherapy and chemotherapy. \nOnce he was finally feeling better\, Prophet started driving out to Salinas on a regular basis to jam with a group he’d fallen in love with called ¿Qiensave?\, a band of brothers from the Central Coast farming community. The sessions came together on a whim\, for the sheer fun of it at first\, but Prophet soon invited the band to back him up at a couple of live shows\, and the immediate reaction from audiences made it clear they were on to something special. \nProphet and ¿Qiensave? hit the studio soon afterwards\, where they blended with his longtime backing band\, The Mission Express\, to track the heart of Wake The Dead live on the floor. It was chaotic at times\, cramming as many as eight musicians into the same studio space\, but they prioritized gut feeling over sonic perfection and allowed the undeniable energy of the performances to guide them. \nThe result is a profoundly adventurous celebration of life that balances hope and fear in equal measure\, a rich and exultant meditation on what really matters from an artist who always manages to find the light\, even in the face of the most oppressing darkness. Prophet approaches the style not as an academic or historian\, but as a fan with a voracious appetite and an insatiable curiosity. The songs are intoxicatingly rhythmic\, all but demanding you move your body while you listen\, with arrangements that blur the lines between tradition and innovation\, between past and present\, between cultures and countries. There are flashes of rock and roll\, punk\, surf\, and soul\, all filtered through the streets of San Francisco and wrapped up in the rich legacy of a genre that traces its roots back hundreds of years and thousands of miles.

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special – 9/16 – Craig Marshall
DESCRIPTION:Craig Marshall‘s lengthy musical resume stretches back to his teen years performing with various combos in his hometown of Syracuse\, New York.

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special – 9/18 – Roger Street Friedman
DESCRIPTION:Roger Street Friedman is still a believer in the idea that music can change hearts and minds. Over the past decade\, and during the course of four critically acclaimed albums\, the modern Americana singer-songwriter has become a prominent voice in addressing issues both societal and personal in ways that recall the leading music lights of the ‘60s and ‘70s. On his newest album\, Long Shadows\, Friedman trains his observant eye on recent and past events\, some close to home and others half a world away\, and in the tradition of other great storytellers\, he focuses on raw emotions – love\, anger\, dismay\, fear\, isolation and ultimately\, hope – in ways that make his points relatable to any listener.

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:The WDVX Blue Plate Special – 9/24 – Afriend / Mark Winters
DESCRIPTION:Afriend is the stage name of Adam Ochs\, a singer\, songwriter\, painter and teacher. Adam has lived in Maryville for ten years\, originally from Miamisburg\, Ohio. The songs are about faith\, relationship\, wildlife and art. \n \nTexas-based rock singer-songwriter Mark Winters is many things; a witty poet\, passionate musician\, entrepreneur\, optimist\, family man\, and a bonafide rocket scientist. He first picked up a guitar to play a song for his wife on their anniversary. That’s when he discovered the joy of connecting with people through music. Mark combines music\, poetry\, a science background\, and love for his community to form his signature sound\, “rock with a positive vibe.” \nHis musical roots are in rock\, blues rock\, and pop\, and John Mayer\, Tom Petty\, and Jason Mraz are significant influences. “My music starts from a place of poetry and creative inspiration\, and I use my ‘rocket-scientist brain’ to find structures that help me explore that initial burst of inspiration and feeling – like writing haikus\, my favorite! My grandmother taught me to express myself through poetry and I’m thankful to her for setting me on this creative and expressive path.” \nMark has a degree in Aerospace\, Aeronautical\, and Astronautical Engineering\, and his math and science background guides his musical explorations. He likes taking complex things such as emotions and expressing them in a way that’s easy to understand. Balancing his right-brained creativity with his analytical left-brain is part of a life-long journey; music is one more place where he can explore this balance.

With the release of her first album under her own name\, “Evie’s Great Adventure\,” the fiddler/vocalist ready to deliver the main course. \nThe new album is flat-out feel-good music delivered with the same heart and soul that’s made Evie a popular performed all across the Southeast. \nMaybe you caught her bands Barefoot Sanctuary or Buffalo Fiasco\, or heard her backing up renowned cellist Dave Eggar\, irreverent singer-songwriter Roger Alan Wade\, or performing at the Big Ears Festival with improvisational great Lonnie Holley\, or maybe you spotted her backing up Foreigner on a short tour. There’s also the possibility that you heard her music on the HBO series “The Outsider” or saw her appearance on “American Ninja Warrior.” \nBorn in Fargo\, N.D. and raised in Minot\, N.D.\, Evie began playing fiddle at six years old in her father’s band Crossroads\, but she was already a stage veteran. She first performed on stage at the age of 3\, blowing a train whistle\, on one of her father’s songs. \n \nIn a musical world where singer-songwriters are a dime a dozen\, you will find in Jon Whitlock a refreshingly unique sound: a combination of gorgeous original melodies and intellectual\, poignant stories that will surprise you and move you. \nOriginally trained as a drummer\, he was drawn not just to the performance side of drumming\, but even more so to the creative side. Traveling the world as a drummer for touring bands\, the vast experiences of life\, love\, and loss inspired his creative side. Eventually he picked up a guitar\, taught himself to play in a style that made sense to his percussive background\, and started writing songs about what makes us human. What emerged is a beautifully melodic and rhythmic finger-picking guitar sound mixed with poetic\, philosophical\, romantic\, and humorous lyrics. Jon has a knack for understanding the human experience; the words he writes\, his gentle demeanor\, and the style of his playing immediately draw you in and make you want more. Constantly working on new songs\, he has a wealth of original material but also enjoys covering unexpected yet recognizable songs from his favorite artists. \n \nRaised on American Roots music in Eastern Tennessee\, Daniel Kimbro is a multi Grammy-nominated musician with 20 years experience performing alongside luminaries including Eric Clapton\, Jerry Douglas\, John Hiatt\, Transatlantic Sessions\, Sarah Jarosz\, Larkin Poe & many others. \nWhile his collaborations are numerous\, his new solo album Carpet In The Kitchen showcases Daniel’s skills as a songwriter\, composer & arranger. Guests on the album include Jerry Douglas\, Mike Baggetta on electric guitar\, & Jordan Perlson on Drumset. \nKnown to International audiences for his work with the Transatlantic Sessions\, Martin Harley\, Harley Kimbro Lewis\, and many others\, Daniel continues to tour throughout the US\, the UK\, and Canada. \n \nMartin Harley has been making music and touring the world for over two decades. His sound has never been more down to earth. Exploring roots\, blues and slide guitar in a style The Guardian referred to as ‘Spellbinding’\, Harley has released eight albums to date\, four recorded on home soil and four across the Atlantic in Texas and Nashville. \nAn album with Grammy nominated Daniel Kimbro and Sam Lewis is on the way for 2022. The three have collaborated live since 2014. “We’ve all jumped of a few rocks together\, physically and mentally\, this record has got scars\, bars and underwater superheroes” 2021 includes some intimate acoustic shows for Martin with a band tour in the autumn. martinharley.com for tours and tickets. \nHis recent nominations include\, AMA instrumentalist of the year\, Best Acoustic Guitarist\, Best Acoustic Blues artist. Notable appearances include Glastonbury Acoustic and Avalon stages\, Beautiful Days\, Royal Albert Hall\, Union Chapel\, Bluebird Nashville\, Tønder Festival\, The Troubadour LA and at home round the fire pit with his two daughters. \n \nSam Lewis isn’t just a musician. He’s a weaver of tales\, capturing the essence of human experience in every note and lyric. Chris Stapleton calls him “a modern Townes Van Zandt\,” with good reason. Lewis’s voice\, often likened to molasses dripping from a Southern porch\, carries a soulful weight that transcends genre. His music is a gumbo of feel-good grooves and vital social commentary. It is a testament to years spent honing his craft on the red dirt roads of the American Southeast.  Read Sam’s biography to learn more about this soulful storyteller weaving tales of humanity. \n \nTexas Tony & The Tornado Ramblers will be bringing some Honky Tonk Outlaw Country to the show!

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special – 9/30 – Zach Russell
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, thousands of people flock to the city of Nashville with hopes of “making it”. Ironically\, it wasn’t until Zach Russell made the decision to leave Music City\, USA that he inked his first record deal with Thirty Tigers. The drive back home may have only been three hours long\, but Russell’s journey back to old haunts in Eastern Tennessee isn’t quite that cut and dry. \nIn the 7 years preceding that trip down I-40\, there were stints as a manager at a shoe store and a karaoke host. He calloused his hands installing irrigation systems and working as a carpenter. He traveled the US and Europe as Tyler Childers’ merchandise manager and got to witness firsthand what it takes to chase down greatness. Through it all\, one thing that remained constant was his belief that he could chase it down as well. \nMusic has always played a pivotal role in Russell’s life. A background in Baptist and Hymnal music as a youth and a taste for hip-hop\, rock\, and country music informed his musical style between 2016 and 2020 as he found his footing. In 2021 the world received its proper introduction to Zach Russell as a fully formed artist with the release The Creek. This five-song EP proved not only to be a landmark release in Russell’s career\, but with its lyrical depth\, soaring instrumental jams and infectious melodies\, it served as proof that this landmark was merely the first of many to come. \nSince moving home and finding clarity\, the past 18 months have been busy for Russell. He spent those months writing music\, touring with The Alex Leach Band\, and delivering a guest appearance on Adeem the Artist critically acclaimed album\, White Trash Revelry. That wave of momentum has culminated to this moment\, and the release of his highly anticipated full-length debut\, Where the Flowers Meet the Dew. \nOnce again joining forces with up-and-coming producer Kyle Crownover (Adeem the Artist)\, this ten-song effort never takes its foot off the gas pedal. Dominant themes of wrestling with mortality\, pondering reincarnation\, and finding that ever elusive feeling of contentment in this life weave gracefully through. \nAs the old saying goes\, “Big hitters take big swings.”\, and Russell’s choice as the first single is as bold a statement as can be made. Coming in at a shade over seven minutes long\, “Born Again” begins as a rockabilly banger\, then midway through\, via a psychedelic segue it morphs into a funky\, groove heavy jam. Russell sings of reincarnation and hints that perhaps every waking moment is\, in fact\, an opportunity to start anew. \nThe first half of the record is filled with traditional waltzes (“I Thought I Was the Trees”\, “Take Me Back to Tennessee”)\, haunting electric folk (“What You Want Comes to You”)\, and 60’s R&B style (“Milk & Honey”) cuts. Its deep\, mellow\, and the lyrics are contemplative. It draws you in while not letting the listener get too comfortable. \nBeginning with the aforementioned rip-roaring lead single\, the back half of the record brings with it an altogether different vibe. Greasy\, distorted guitar licks pepper the back half of Where the Flowers Meet the Dew. “Playing House” fully displays his creative dexterity\, and would be right at home on a post-grunge rock radio station\, circa 1998\, sandwiched between Matchbox 20 and Third Eye Blind numbers. Later\, on “Nothin’ to Haul”\, he boldly calls out the posers and wannabes that fill the Nashville scene.
