The WDVX Blue Plate Special – 4/16 — Huey / Shlomo Franklin

April 16 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Born and raised in Atlanta, Ga., Huey’s songwriting is deeply in southern folk music. Since playing in various groups for the past 8 years, most notably her own full band “Huey & The Heaven-sent”, she’s always called the ATL music scene home. “[She] brings some diversity to what people perceive southern music to be” says Atwood Magazine, following up the release of their second full-length LP “How to Keep Things Alive”. Heart-clenching and poignant lyrics, married with folk, sometimes even jazz, melodies, Huey’s songwriting reflects the emotions that she’s embedded in her music. Since becoming a solo artist, she’s developed a side of the folk genre that sounds like nobody else.

Shlomo Franklin is an American singer/songwriter born on a small cow farm in upstate New York. Raised off the cultural grid, without music, television, or radio, his songs are strongly influenced by his cult-like religious upbringing. Shlomo released his debut album in 2019 which was produced by Grammy Award winner C Lanzbom and released a double album follow up from his now Nashville, TN home. Franklin has opened up for Jakob Dylan and The Wallflowers and shared festivals with The Nude Party and The Bones of JR Jones. His songs seem just as comfortable in front of a crowd of two thousand as they are in a living room house concert. Shlomo sees himself as a bare bones troubadour and is stubbornly trendless.
