The peach trees that were on the fields where the battle took place had recently blossomed and fell with the frost\, covering the dead bodies of the young soldiers like pink snow. As a child growing up in the 1970s\, Mic Harrison had no idea of the significance that Shiloh held in history. He only knew that it was his family’s favorite place for picnics and reunions. \nThose memories make up “Picnic at Shiloh\,” the final track on Harrison’s new album\, “Peach Blossom Youth.” Now a noted singer-songwriter and amateur historian\, Harrison feels the full irony of the sweet memories contrasted with the area’s bloody past. \nHarrison has been writing songs since he was a high school student in Bradford\, Tenn. \n“Even early on I hardly ever wrote songs about girls and all that\,” says Harrison. “I wrote about life\, history… that stuff.” \nHarrison moved to Knoxville in the 1990s to join proto-Americana act The V-Roys\, and later joined power pop favorites Superdrag before recording his solo album “Pallbearer’s Shoes.” When he teamed up with The High Score early in the new millennium he found the perfect collaborators. The band now consists of guitarists Robbie Trosper and Kevin Abernathy\, bassist Vance Hillard and drummer Mark T. Dunn. Harrison’s 20-year collaboration with The High Score has resulted in a stack of albums as well featured spots in music festivals\, including Bonnaroo\, Rhythm N’ Blooms\, and Easyriders Rodeo\, and national tours in elegant concert halls\, sweaty bars\, and listening rooms across America. \nTo make sure the recording of these new songs were as good as possible\, Harrison brought in famed producer Eric “Roscoe” Ambel\, whose credits include producing albums for The Bottle Rockets\, Nils Lofgren\, The Backsliders\, and many others\, co-leading the Del-Lords and The Yayhoos\, as well as playing guitar with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts and Steve Earle. \n“Sonically\, this is the best record we’ve ever done\,” says Harrison. \nNearly all of the songs are about real people – from a West Tennessee character named Bobby Jack\, who inspired “Scrap Iron Man” to a Mexican American War soldier in the song “Dallas Sutton.” \n“A lot of these songs are very personal\,” says Harrison. “It could be a book.” \n“Lose You Over This” was written after a family member’s suicide attempt. “Keep Drivin’” was inspired by a beloved niece being kicked out of church because she is gay. “Old Man” is about Harrison’s late father\, who died of Alzheimer’s disease. \nWith their upbeat melodies and energetic delivery\, it would be easy to miss the sometimes-dark subject matter of Harrison’s new songs. Yet\, that’s what makes this and all of Harrison’s work special. It draws you in and delivers a good time\, but if you care to dig a little deeper\, there’s plenty more to discover. \n– Wayne Bledsoe URL:https://wdvx.com/event/the-wdvx-big-plate-11-21-mic-harrison-the-high-score/ LOCATION:Barley’s\, 200 East Jackson Avenue\, Knoxville\, TN\, 37915\, United States CATEGORIES:Free Live Show,The Big Plate ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://wdvx.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/11-21-Mic-Harrison-The-High-Score.jpg 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:20251114T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251114T130000 DTSTAMP:20260922T185007 CREATED:20251104T190352Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251104T190352Z UID:10081970-1763121600-1763125200@wdvx.com SUMMARY:The WDVX Big Plate – 11/14 – Phil Faconti Trio DESCRIPTION:Phil Faconti Trio joins us this day bringing the real\, live music!

Joe Troop is from North Carolina and is a GRAMMY-nominated bluegrass and oldtime musician. Larry was forced into exile and is an asylum seeker in North Carolina. Joe\, after a decade in South America\, got stranded back in his stomping grounds in the pandemic. Larry worked construction to make ends meet. Joe’s acclaimed “latingrass” band Che Apalache was forced into hiatus\, and he shifted into action working with asylum seeking migrants. Then Larry met Joe. \nCurrently based in the Triangle of North Carolina\, both men are versatile multi-instrumentalists and singer-songwriters on a mission to show that music has no borders. As a duo they perform a fusion of Venezuelan and Appalachian folk music on harp\, banjo\, cuatro\, fiddle\, maracas\, guitar\, upright bass\, and whatever else they decide to throw in the van. The program they offer features a distinct blend of their musical inheritances and traditions as well as storytelling about the ways that music and social movements coalesce. \nLARRY BELLORÍN \nLarry Bellorín grew up in Punta de Mata in the state of Monagas\, Venezuela. His mother\, a poor farmworker\, raised him. By age 6\, he became a shoe shiner and built a faithful clientele by singing as he polished\, taking requests for the popular Vallenatos of the day. He eventually caught the attention of a local music educator who invited him to study at the city’s premiere music school. \nLarry’s first instrument was the cuatro\, a 4-string guitar with Spanish roots central to the Venezuelan identity and typically the first instrument a folk musician is taught there. Cuatristas strum out complex polyrhythms at dizzying speeds as accompaniment for vocalists and harpists. Larry quickly excelled and by age 11 was supporting himself through music alone. He soon became proficient on guitar\, electric bass\, mandolin and maracas as well. By age 13\, he was well-versed in the folk music of his region (valse\, pasaje\, joropo\, música oriental) and was honored as first cuatrista for the local Casa de Cultura. \nAfter filling in on cuatro for a friend on a gig at a local pizzeria\, Larry met an authentic llanera harpist named Urbino Ruiz\, who immediately took him under his wing as an apprentice. After only a month of tutelage\, Larry had a repertoire of 40 songs. “I played so much\, I would wake up hunched over my harp\,” he recalls. \nIn 1999\, Urbano invited Larry to perform with him alongside Venezuelan cultural treasure Renaldo Armas at the Punta de Mata’s Parque Ferial. After playing\, Armas\, a GRAMMY winner and the country’s most well known champion of Llanera music\, introduced him to the crowd of more than 8\,000 people as “el maestro Larry Bellorín.” From that point forward\, Larry was respected as such. \nLarry went on to accompany countless Venezuelan musical luminaries including Cristina Maica\, Teo Galindez\, and Rumi Olivo. While touring the country as a performer\, he and his wife opened Casa Vieja\, a school dedicated to teaching Música Llanera. In three years\, he taught nearly five hundred students and launched Monagas’ first Musicá Llanera festival. \nInspired by the success of Gustavo Dudamel’s orchestral program El Sistema\, the state-funded parallel folk program Alma Llanera aimed to enrich the lives of and promote cultural heritage to children through Venezuela’s folk music. Larry taught harp\, cuatro\, and vocals to countless students. \nIn 2012 Venezuela began to collapse\, and it became impossible to maintain a music school. Poverty and violence reached unprecedented extremes\, and new political realities threatened Larry and his family’s lives. He decided to go to the United States in search of work and asylum for his family. He arrived with only thirty dollars and slept on the floor of an unfurnished room while doing construction day labor. His wife and young daughter eventually joined him. Having faced political persecution\, they were able to open a case for asylum. Larry has endured wage theft and several work site injuries but continues to look to the future with hope. \nPrior to the pandemic\, Larry was beginning to find work as a musician in North Carolina\, playing bass in Salsa bands and booking his own Venezuelan folk group across the state. But the pandemic’s restrictions on social gatherings ended those opportunities\, and Larry returned to full time construction work. \nJOE TROOP \nJoe Troop is a multi-instrumentalist\, singer\, and songwriter hailing originally from Winston-Salem\, North Carolina. The founder of GRAMMY-nominated stringband Che Apalache\, Joe’s music is deeply inspired by his decade living in Buenos Aires and traveling throughout Latin America. When the pandemic unexpectedly landed him back in North Carolina\, he spent 2020 learning direct action from stalwart organizers. In 2021 he channeled that energy into his homecoming album Borrowed Time. The record was co-produced with Jason Richmond (The Avett Brothers\, Branford Marsalis) and features luminaries like Béla Fleck (who produced Che Apalache’s GRAMMY-nominated album)\, Abigail Washburn\, Tim O’Brien\, and Charlie Hunter\, but the visceral songwriting and fine-crafted instrumentals speak for themselves. Joe’s music reflects both his time spent living abroad as well as his upbringing in the North Carolina Piedmont. Now based in Durham\, he leads various ensembles which play his original music.

But\, for me to preach that? I have to practice it.” \nThat attitude resides at the core of the record\, where the trajectory of the songs seemingly — more so purposely — shoot off in the opposite direction of many of his contemporaries in the Americana\, country and folk music scenes. In truth? Chaney is summoning his rock roots. \n“I’m not concerned with being labeled as ‘country’.“There’s not a lot of music being released right now that is doing anything for me. I made something that I would want to listen to.” \nPointing to his lifelong admiration for 1990s rock — specifically Soundgarden\, Alice in Chains and Stone Temple Pilots — as a vital influence on the sonic landscape of the album\, Chaney aimed to find a melodic balance between that raw and real rock sound and the bluegrass and folk music of his native Kentucky. \n“I wanted to make something that sounded like Ralph Stanley went in and got backed up by Soundgarden\,” Chaney jokes. “I write what I listen to. And whatever I listen to is going to come out in my music.” \nIn the Shadow of the Mountain was captured by famed producer Duane Lundy at his legendary studio in Lexington\, Kentucky. While talking at-length about the possible collaboration\, Lundy spoke of his love for Soundgarden\, Alice in Chains and Stone Temple Pilots. \n“I know plenty of bluegrass guys that could have recorded this for me\,” Chaney says. “But\, I wanted to take that string band and folk sound and bring it to a rock producer\, to bring that big sound out of these acoustic instruments — [Duane] was about to do that.” \nThe album was also co-produced by guitarist Zachary Hamilton\, a close friend of Chaney\, who is also the brother and bandmate of rising Lexington singer-songwriter Abby Hamilton. \n“[Zach] has that ability to fill a room with his guitar\, his voicings\, and all the choices he goes for down the neck of the guitar\,” Chaney says. “When Abby was opening for us\, I got to sit there and watch him play every night. I knew when I was going to do another album\, he needed to be involved in some capacity.” \nHeading into the recording sessions\, Chaney brought along his band\, which included Ella Webster (fiddle)\, Kyle Kleinman (mandolin)\, Joel Murtaugh (upright bass) and James Gooding (drums). Acclaimed Kentucky musician (and former bandmate) Aaron Bibelhauser also makes an appearance. \nWith this pivot in his tone and intent compared to his 2021 debut album\, Mercy\, Chaney sees this current path as more in-tune with what he’s not only wanted to do all along\, but has slowly shifted towards in recent years amid endless touring and performing. \n“I was green [while recording Mercy]. I didn’t really know what I was doing\,” Chaney admits. “And\, by the grace of so many people around me\, we were able to get some really great string band music on [that album].” \nSince Mercy\, Chaney has added a full drum kit to his band and live show\, something that was done to enhance his sound and stage presence — this thunderous beat to accompany the sorrowful songs. \n“If I have drums\, then we’re going to do it all the way\,” Chaney says. “And that unlocked some capabilities for me as a writer to pursue a sound that I don’t think I’ve heard yet.” \nAs of late\, Chaney has returned to his hometown of Catlettsburg\, Kentucky (population: 1\,780). The tiny Appalachian community lies along the shores of the Ohio and Big Sandy rivers\, at the crossroads of the borders of West Virginia\, Ohio and The Bluegrass State. \n“I think where I’m from shows through in everything that I do\,” Chaney says. “And if you want to write songs where that is going to come through\, then I feel I need to be around my roots.” \nFor Chaney\, even though he’s only in his mid-twenties\, his journey has been long and bountiful already. From growing up in rural Appalachia to going to welding school\, only to leave it behind and take a leap of faith when an opportunity to pursue music emerged. \nThat life-changing decision led to Chaney hitting the road and finding work at The Burl\, a storied Lexington music venue. Chaney has come full circle with The Burl\, by selling out the space on multiple occasions to fervent crowds\, including the large outdoor stage. \nWith In the Shadow of the Mountain being the latest milestone for Chaney\, what remains is this driven musician in search of not only himself and his sound\, but also an audience just as hungry — for something new\, something different\, and yet something so familiar. \n“In a lot of ways\, things have gone extremely far. And yet\, so many things have remained the same\,” Chaney reflects. “And that’s been the beauty of the journey.” URL:https://wdvx.com/event/the-wdvx-big-plate-10-3-cole-chaney/ LOCATION:Barley’s\, 200 East Jackson Avenue\, Knoxville\, TN\, 37915\, United States CATEGORIES:Free Live Show,The Big Plate ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://wdvx.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/10-3-Cole-Chaney.jpg 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:20250926T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250926T130000 DTSTAMP:20260922T185007 CREATED:20250918T185521Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250918T190025Z UID:10081923-1758888000-1758891600@wdvx.com SUMMARY:The WDVX Big Plate – 9/26 – RB Morris DESCRIPTION:RB Morris is a poet and songwriter\, solo performer and band leader\, and a sometimes playwright and actor from Knoxville\, Tennessee.

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.

Jay grew up in Winchester\, Tennessee\, near where the western escarpment of the Cumberland Plateau crosses from Tennessee into Alabama. His dad was a Cumberland Presbyterian minister for 42 years. His mom an English teacher. Church played a huge roll in Jay’s upbringing. It was in the church where Jay learned to sing & in the mountains where he felt closest to God. Jay wrote his first song in 1990. He didn’t know how to play guitar\, so he taught himself to play in order to put music to his first song. That song was the first of many. \nJay has been a staple in the East Tennessee music scene for more than 20 years. During his college years\, Jay not only trapped & conducted research on black bears in the Smokies\, but also played in a couple of different bluegrass bands\, most notably a brother-style duo with Keith Garrett (currently of The Boxcars) and later in a bluegrass band\, The Stringbeans\, with Robinella and Cruz Contreras (currently of The Black Lillies). Since releasing his first record in 2004 (Pen to Paper)\, Jay has supplemented his career as a scientist with performing his songs across the Southeast & southern Appalachia. Presently\, Jay plays a number of his shows with his band\, Jay Clark & the Tennessee Tree Beavers\, which features Greg Horne on lead guitar & Daniel Kimbro on upright bass. Jay recently released his fifth recording\, Of Mountains & Heartbreak (2016). He still uses the other side of his brain as an adjunct professor in the Biology Department at Maryville College. Jay resides in the foothills of the Smokies on 31.5 acres in Rockford\, TN\, with his wife\, Stacy\, and their pack of rescue hounds.
