The Blue Plate Special Road Shows continue, as remodeling progresses on our downtown stage. Barley’s Knoxville was the location this week, and Dave Eggar brought his band – along with the dance crew Hammerstep. Dave moves seamlessly between all genres, whether classical, reggae, bluegrass, jazz, pop, or world music. Hammerstep consists of a diverse group of elite performers from a variety of disciplines, including: Irish, Tap, Hip Hop, Martial Arts, Stepping and Capoeira. The band closed their show by combining two original tunes, “Believe” and “Crooked Road”, and was then joined by Hammerstep for a big finale.

The Blue Plate Special Road Shows continue while our downtown stage is being remodeled with a stop at the beautiful Clayton Performing Arts Center at the Hardin Valley campus of Pellissippi State Community College. Showcasing the diversity of music offerings at PSCC was the Pellissippi State Jazz band, led by instructor (and saxophonist) Tom Johnson. You will probably recognize this tune – it’s the theme from “The Odd Couple” by Neal Hefti, who wrote the themes and background music for many shows and movies. His theme for The Odd Couple movie was reprised as part of his score for the television series of the early 1970s, and earned him two Grammy nominations. This selection features lots of great solo work from the student members of the Jazz Band: Jeannie Bowers-flute, Will Bramlett-trumpet, Juan Vidal-trumpet, Charles Blake-sax, Zack McCarty-sax, Tyler Adams-piano, Tanner Gaspard-guitar, Matt Dougherty-bass, and Dowe Cauthen-drums.

Emi Sunshine joined us for a rare solo appearance on the Blue Plate Special stage. She told us that she recently wrote this song, Resting Place”, and that it was inspired by the recent fires in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. She was in Pigeon Forge at the time, and was forced to evacuate. After her frightening experience, Emi said she wanted to bring something positive out of the tragedy and give a little hope to those who lost so much from the fires. She tells the whole story at the end of the video. Discover lots more about Emi Sunshine on her website at: http://theemisunshine.com/

Hymn for Her have been busy touring across the country (and abroad) over the past few years, and we were lucky enough to get them to stop at the Blue Plate Special. Lucy Tight and Wayne Waxing inject juiced-up backwoods country blues with a dose of desert rock psychedelia that has been described as “Hell’s Angels meets the Amish.” They have a new release, “Drive Til U Die” recorded partially in their vintage 1961 Bambi Airstream trailer, and partially in studios. This tune, “Shine”, is from the new album. The duo create their distinctive sound with only a few instruments. Wayne plays the kick-drum, high-hat, acoustic guitar and harp, serving as the group’s rhythmic driving force and Lucy delivers a gritty squall on her “Lowebow” – a custom-made cigar-box guitar she calls “The Riff Monster.” Find out lots more about Hymn for Her on their website at: http://hymnforher.com/.
