He cut his first record “Homesick Blues” down in the infamous Muscle Shoals\, Alabama with the great Jimmy Nutt (Jimmy Buffett\, Jason Isbell\, American Aquarium) and Gary Nichols (The Steeldrivers)\, and signed his first publishing deal shortly after. What seemed to be a bright immediate future in Nashville soon became a monotonous grind clouded by homesickness and depression. He packed his bags and headed back home to catch his breath. \nAfter a year of being back home in Arkansas and working the Texas and Oklahoma markets\, Nashville came calling again. He found himself back in his old stomping grounds regularly playing shows\, writing music\, and having more fun than he’d ever had before. He partnered up with his old pal Darren King (Project 86/The Overseer) and the songs they were working on quickly became a record. \nJustin Kaleb has seen his fair share of ups and downs. He’s played sold out venues with bands like The Steeldrivers\, and felt the rush of cramming into a 15-passenger van with his best friends to share the stage with bands like Drowning Pool in his early years of fronting a metal band. At the same time\, he’s felt the calmness and serenity of driving through an Alabama cotton field by himself to play for nobody but the bartender. While this ebb and flow way of life might deter most\, he’s learned to find comfort in it. \nDon’t be fooled by his laid-back demeanor. Justin knows that talent is worthless without work-ethic\, and work-ethic can even overcome a lack of talent if you work hard enough. He sees it every day while working with his hands when he’s not on the road or in the studio\, and has experienced first-hand how sometimes just showing up can be the first step toward something great. \nIn the same vein as artists like the Turnpike Troubadours\, Tyler Childers\, and Jason Isbell\, Justin Kaleb brings an element of truth-telling\, blue-collar music that Americana music fans can surely get behind. Jump on board while you can\, because the train’s leaving the station. \n  \nSinger/Songwriter Russell Walker of Honky Tonk Thursday is playing as well!

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. \n \nShlomo 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. \n  \n  URL:https://wdvx.com/event/the-wdvx-blue-plate-special-4-16-huey-shlomo-franklin/ LOCATION:Barley’s\, 200 East Jackson Avenue\, Knoxville\, TN\, 37915\, United States CATEGORIES:Featured Events,Free Live Show,WDVX Blue Plate Special ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://wdvx.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/4_16_ShlomoFranklin-website.png ORGANIZER;CN="WDVX":MAILTO:info@wdvx.com GEO:35.9708504;-83.9173131 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Barley’s 200 East Jackson Avenue Knoxville TN 37915 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=200 East Jackson Avenue:geo:-83.9173131,35.9708504 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260410T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260410T130000 DTSTAMP:20260613T032057 CREATED:20260319T192301Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260319T192335Z UID:10082427-1775822400-1775826000@wdvx.com SUMMARY:The WDVX Big Plate – 4/10 — Sebastien Bordeaux DESCRIPTION:Sebastien Bordeaux is an American Roots musician based out of Nashville\, Tennessee.

They’re storytellers and gifted pickers in our own rite\, and also back each other on steel guitar and mandolin. \n  \nJennifer Alvarado is redefining what it means to be a country artist in today’s music scene. With a sound that fuses the heartfelt storytelling of 90s country with the raw\, unfiltered honesty of alternative rock\, her music has been described as “Deana Carter meets Alanis Morissette.” But Jennifer isn’t just another artist blending genres—she’s a truth-teller\, a fighter\, and a voice for those who have ever felt out of place. Her songs are unflinchingly personal\, yet universally relatable\, tackling love\, loss\, trauma\, and redemption with a fearless honesty that sets her apart. \n​Born and raised in Hickory\, North Carolina\, Alvarado’s love for music was sparked at the age of four when her grandfather first placed a guitar in her hands. Growing up\, she found her voice singing in church and school performances\, but a devastating loss and relentless bullying in middle school silenced her for years. While others saw her talent\, she struggled with crippling performance anxiety\, choosing instead to write in secret. It wasn’t until her mid-teens\, when she picked up the guitar again and began leading worship\, that she slowly reclaimed her confidence. \n​Alvarado’s path to music wasn’t a straight shot. Despite earning a music scholarship\, she ultimately pursued a degree in Political Science and Family Ministries\, preparing for a future in law and ministry. She worked as an Intellectual Property Paralegal\, led worship at two churches\, and taught guitar and ukulele on the side. But music never stopped calling. In 2020\, facing a crossroads\, she decided to take a chance — submitting her music to Indie Star Radio. The response was immediate and overwhelming\, leading to her being named Country Artist of the Year in 2021. From that moment\, there was no turning back. \n​Since then\, Jennifer has become one of the most relentless independent artists in country music\, performing over 200 shows a year across the country. She’s played legendary venues like The Viper Room\, intimate clubs on the California coast\, and countless stages across NC\, TN\, GA\, VA\, SC\, CT\, KY\, and TX. Her goal? To play all 50 states and bring her music to international audiences. While she’s been told she’s “not redneck enough” for country music and “too old” to chase a dream\, she refuses to let the industry define her. Instead\, she writes and sings on her own terms\, creating music that resonates with those searching for something deeper than another whiskey-soaked party anthem. \n​Beyond the music\, Jennifer is deeply passionate about using her platform to make a difference. She is actively involved in Celebrate Recovery\, prison ministry\, and organizations supporting women overcoming addiction and homelessness. She volunteers at various local recovery based ministries in North Carolina\, Tennessee Oncology in Nashville\, and Meals on Wheels.  Jennifer Alvarado is more than a musician — she is a storyteller\, an advocate\, and proof that resilience and faith can carve out a space where none seemed to exist. She isn’t chasing fame or fortune. She’s chasing meaning\, moments\, and the chance to remind others that their voice\, their dreams\, and their stories matter.

A storyteller whose sound blends a soulful edge with country rock energy into heartfelt storytelling. Born in Baker\, Louisiana\, Wesley was raised with a rebellious spirit and a love for music inspired by his father’s guitar. By age 15\, he was sneaking into bars to perform with a beat-up six-string and a fire that would soon define his music career. \nHe paved his path in the Baton Rouge blues scene\, performing and touring alongside with legendary figures. He served as Grady Champion’s Music Director for five years. His talent earned him two International Blues Challenge regional victories and a reputation as one of Louisiana’s fiercest young guitarists. \nBut Wesley’s journey took a turn when life’s hardships — including personal battles and deep loss — pushed him toward a new musical path. Drawing inspiration from artists like Hank Williams\, Marty Stuart\, Garth Brooks\, Jason Aldean\, and Eric Church\, he began merging his blues background with the modern energy of country rock and Americana. \nIn 2021\, Wesley released his breakthrough album\, “Both Sides Of The Tracks.” The record featured 17 original songs\, including “A New Kind of Blues” (feat. Kern Pratt)\, “Leah” (feat. Michael Cleveland)\, and “Attitude”\, which reached #1 on the Euro Academy of Country Music Charts in Milan\, Italy. The project marked his official crossover from blues prodigy to full-fledged country-rock and Americana artist. \nTragedy struck in January 2021\, when Wesley lost his brother Daniel Dale to a drug overdose — a loss that became the emotional core of his 2024 single “12 O’Clock in Texas\,” his most personal song to date. The single’s heartfelt storytelling and raw emotion struck a deep chord with fans around the world. \nWesley followed with “The Search” (2024) and his latest single\, “Bottom Of The Bottle” (October 2025) — a powerhouse track with a harder rock edge that’s rapidly gaining momentum and airplay. \nToday\, Wesley tours across the U.S.\, Europe\, and Southeast Asia\, performing everywhere from intimate listening rooms to international stages\, including the Switzerland International Country Music Hall of Fame and the Jackson\, Mississippi Civil Rights Museum. \nHe shared stages with many including Alabama\, RVSHVD\, Jason Boland & the Stragglers\, Redd Volkaert\, When In Rome\, Old Crow Medicine Show\, Scotty McCreery\, Hailey Whitters\, and shared international stages with Swiss Rockabilly Star – Florian Fox\, collaborating on Will’s singles\, “Wasted Again” and “Time’s Catching Up To Me.” \nIn recognition of his accomplishments\, he received seven nominations for his song\, “Ready To Ride” at the 2024 Josie Music Awards. In addition\, he received five nominations for his songs “12 O’Clock in Texas” and “The Search” at the 2025 Josie Music Awards. Both within Nashville\, Tennessee. \nDespite the road miles as a devoted Worldwide Touring Troubadour\, Wesley returns home to Louisiana in-between tours for hometown shows\, staying true to his roots and fans. Known for his humility and heart\, he continues to give back by performing at Veterans’ events and outreach programs — bringing the healing power of music to those who need it most. \n  URL:https://wdvx.com/event/the-blue-plate-special-3-5-will-wesley/ LOCATION:Barley’s\, 200 East Jackson Avenue\, Knoxville\, TN\, 37915\, United States CATEGORIES:Featured Events,Free Live Show,WDVX Blue Plate Special ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://wdvx.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Will-Wesley-35.png ORGANIZER;CN="WDVX":MAILTO:info@wdvx.com GEO:35.9708504;-83.9173131 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Barley’s 200 East Jackson Avenue Knoxville TN 37915 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=200 East Jackson Avenue:geo:-83.9173131,35.9708504 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260227T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260227T130000 DTSTAMP:20260613T032057 CREATED:20260107T173338Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260126T155442Z UID:10082392-1772193600-1772197200@wdvx.com SUMMARY:The WDVX Big Plate – 2/27 – Dimestore Cowboys DESCRIPTION:The Dimestore Cowboys— modern day pioneers of a traditional country music revival.

For the Garrett Boys\, a family trio from Overton County in east Tennessee\, their history just happens to lend itself to some excellent Appalachian folk music. \nMade up of brothers Stephen and Russell Garrett\, and Stephen’s son Carter\, the Garrett Boys are rooted\, both musically and physically\, in 500 hilly\, wooded acres that have had a magnetic pull over their family for generations. The men refer to it simply as “The Land\,” and it’s the setting for nearly every one of the 11 songs on It Runs Deep\, the trio’s debut album. \n“About 200 years ago\, some Garrett boys came from North Carolina and settled in that area\,” says Stephen\, who plays acoustic guitar and sings lead in the band. “Some old records say that they acquired land between Mill Creek and Mitchell Creek\, and that’s the property that Russell and I grew up on. Carter will be the ninth generation to live on it.” \nBut while the land is specific to the Garrett Boys\, the album the group wrote about it is universal. Produced by Ray Kennedy (Steve Earle\, Lucinda Williams)\, It Runs Deep contains elements of bluegrass\, folk\, and country\, but refuses to play it safe. It nods to their varied influences\, from Steve Earle and Rodney Crowell to Chris Knight and Hank Williams Jr. \nWith It Runs Deep\, the Garrett Boys memorialize those family stories — for themselves\, for their descendants\, and now for fans of classic American folk music. \n“Our music is about the importance and depth of family and community\,” Stephen says. “It’s a mix of what we have been versus what we can become\, and how we can take the good from all that and build a future.” URL:https://wdvx.com/event/the-wdvx-big-plate-2-20-the-garrett-boys/ LOCATION:Barley’s\, 200 East Jackson Avenue\, Knoxville\, TN\, 37915\, United States CATEGORIES:Featured Events,Free Live Show,The Big Plate ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://wdvx.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/the-garrett-boys-2.png ORGANIZER;CN="WDVX":MAILTO:info@wdvx.com GEO:35.9708504;-83.9173131 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Barley’s 200 East Jackson Avenue Knoxville TN 37915 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=200 East Jackson Avenue:geo:-83.9173131,35.9708504 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260213T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260213T130000 DTSTAMP:20260613T032057 CREATED:20260126T161903Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260127T201307Z UID:10082397-1770984000-1770987600@wdvx.com SUMMARY:The WDVX Big Plate – 2/13 – Redd and The Paper Flowers DESCRIPTION:Redd & 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).

Standing at the intersection of folk\, rock\, and pop\, Day blends heartfelt storytelling\, raw delivery\, and unforgettable melodies into music that feels both fresh and familiar — like rediscovering an old favorite. A self-described writer before anything else\, her perceptive lyricism extends far beyond her 23 years\, with lines reminiscent of songwriting greats like Joni Mitchell and Paul Simon. As the Spokesman-Review notes\, Day has a signature style that features “wordplay\, double-meanings and rhythmic variations\,” with themes ranging from journeying into adulthood to climate change. Many of Day’s songs are also shaped by her intimate relationships\, where her queerness and candor take center stage. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDay is proficient on guitar\, keys\, bass\, and drums\, often switching between instruments during her live performances. At other times\, she lets the music take over — stepping away from the instruments to simply sing and dance with mic in hand. She says she aims to “create an environment of complete presence and joy\, but also healthy catharsis of all the worst emotions.” As the Vanderbilt Hustler highlights\, her set is “energetic\, emotional and full of fun\, just like all of her music.” Fans often leave Day’s shows on a high\, blown away by her powerhouse vocals (drawing comparisons to Brandi Carlile\, Norah Jones\, Alanis Morissette\, and others)\, and charmed by the joy she exudes while onstage. \nAlready boasting over a million streams on a number of songs\, Amelia Day continues to prove herself as both a songwriter and performer\, emerging as a voice destined to resonate for years to come.

This midwestern boy grew up on the music that makes America. The Twang of the Opry on a Saturday night\, the Rock n Roll on the stereos in the Chevys and the Fords and the Blues and Soul spilling out of the nightclubs he snuck into. He heard all that and made it his own. \nHe picked up the heartbreak and the joy of the blues\, and matched it with the lonesome\, lovelorn hillbilly waltz and powered it all with those rock and roll V-8s. \nHe got an early start\, playing in bars and nightclubs before he was old enough to drive\, sometimes even with a note from his mother.  He sang\, played guitar\, played bass and even played the washtub. Anything to get him on stage to learn the craft.
