SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special — 7/29 — Matt Mann
DESCRIPTION:Matt Mann & The Shine Runners are an American rock band residing in Nashville\, TN\, formed by singer/songwriter and Oklahoma native\, Matt Mann.  With influences ranging from the Rolling Stones\, Skynryd\, The Black Crowes\, Social D\, and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers\, Matt Mann & The Shine Runners deliver their brand of raucous and memorable rock and roll music to enthusiastic crowds.  Their bluesy\, boozy\, two guitar rock sounds transports listeners back into the early seventies\, making their music timeless.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Shine Runners include Mann on rhythm guitar\, Johnny Hawthorn/Hunter Wolfe on lead guitar\, Jeff LeGore on bass and Shane Mayo on the drums.  Peter Levin from the Greg Allman Band\, Blind Boys of Alabama and Amanda Shires played B3 organ and upright piano on Anytime But Now and the newest release\, Wrong Side of History. \nThe highly anticipated Wrong Side of History album showcases the band’s signature heavy guitar rock and roll sound across diverse\, well-written tracks\, complemented by memorable drums\, slide guitar\, and keys. Backup singers Angela Primm and Gayle Mayes definitely “take you to church”. The album flows authentically from its powerful opening track to its softer closing song\, leaving listeners wanting to play it all over again. \nAs Mike Shaner from the Hollywood Examiner put it so eloquently\, “Matt Mann and The Shine Runners are just pure whiskey drinking Southern Rock. Crowds eat up Matt Mann’s cowboy-rocker stage presence and raspy Oklahoma twang.”

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special — 8/3 — Laurelyn Dossett / Sam Mooney
DESCRIPTION:Singer/songwriter Laurelyn Dossett lives and writes in the piedmont of North Carolina\, and her songs tend to reflect the stories of the region\, both traditional and contemporary. One of the most sought-after voices in creative collaborations\, she co-founded Polecat Creek with singing partner Kari Sickenberger in 1997. Laurelyn is a frequent performer at regional music festivals such as Merlefest and has been a guest on the radio show Prairie Home Companion. She has toured with folk legend Alice Gerrard and songwriter Diana Jones\, and premiered composer Kenneth Frazelle’s song cycle\, “Songs in the Rear View Mirror\,” in 2010\, and has toured with the North Carolina Symphony in 2009 and 2011 and 2013. \n \nSam Mooney is a musician from Mississippi\, and he considers himself fortunate to have the privilege of making music for others. \nFor as long as he can remember\, few things have brought him as much joy as music. Whether it’s going to a show\, playing piano\, or jamming to music in the car with friends\, he simply loves it. Naturally\, a life working in the music industry became the dream he decided to chase. \nOver the last several years\, Mooney has spent most of his free time on the road playing shows. During that time\, he has been blessed with some amazing opportunities. He has opened for and shared the stage with some of his favorite bands and musicians\, recorded and released three projects\, and traveled around the country performing. Most importantly\, however\, he has made countless new friends along the journey. \nHis hope is to write music that will speak into people’s lives. Music that will bring joy. Music that will serve as a soundtrack to whatever lies ahead on their journey. His goal is to put on fun and exciting shows that allow audiences to escape into a special musical experience and make great memories. And\, hopefully\, he’ll get the chance to meet them at a show sometime.

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special — 8/5 — Lone Cricket
DESCRIPTION:Lone Cricket is the musical project of recording artist David Hall\, blending ambient soundscapes with global rhythms and emotionally resonant songwriting. His debut album\, crafted largely in an off-grid studio in the woods\, weaves atmospheric textures with electronic percussion\, cinematic guitar\, and layered instrumentation. Now leaning more into solo guitar and vocals with ambient textures\, his evolving sound draws from Dark Folk\, Americana\, Cumbia\, and the intricacy of West African and Middle Eastern traditions\, and a raw\, expressive guitar style shaped by modern fingerstyle and early 2000s indie. The result is music that moves between introspection and energy—balancing stillness and movement\, memory and immediacy\, in a deeply immersive sonic journey.

SUMMARY:First Friday Live — 8/7 — Miss Tess
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, August 7 / 6:00 – 7:00 PMKnoxville Visitors CenterFREE!\nHosted by Daniel Fluitt\nJoin us for our next First Friday Live presenting Miss Tess! Our Maker will be Kate Zibas with Illustrate Kate\n\nMiss Tess is one of those singular artists who deserve all the superlatives and accolades one could hoist upon a rare talent such as hers. This unassuming chanteuse is\, as they say in the business\, a true “triple threat” – a superb songwriter and adept multi-instrumentalist with an extraordinary voice that can sing the birds from the trees.\nHer music takes root and draws from an era when country music\, contrary to popular belief\, was downright sophisticated\, and filled with instrumentalists who were every bit as hip musically as their jazz counterparts – stretching back to a time when Western swing bands and jazz bands played a lot of the same material – albeit with a different accent\, informed by their physical location. Location has a lot to do with the new Miss Tess album\, but I’ll get to that in a minute. I would like to stress here that Miss Tess is not necessarily a “country” artist per se\, although if she were invited to play the Grand Ole Opry\, she would not be out of place\, and would no doubt be very well received. Country Soul might be a better descriptor if I was forced to label it\, but her music also has elements of rhythm and blues\, jazz\, country blues\, rock n’ roll – but never manufactured to re-create a particular sound or era. I’m tempted to call this new Miss Tess album “easy listening” except she’d probably slap me. But damn\, it really is so easy to listen to: laid back\, soulful\, funky\, and addictive … much like the place it was recorded in and inspired by.\nThe new Miss Tess album is the product of an on-going love affair with the culturally rich region of South Louisiana known as Acadiana\, or more specifically\, the magical little city of Lafayette. If New Orleans is the “Big Easy\,” then Lafayette is certainly the “Little Easier.” It is hard to describe this sleepy little town unless you’ve been here and experienced its infectious atmosphere for yourself. It may not be for everyone\, but if you are of a certain disposition\, it could affect you in ways you might not have imagined – it might even change your life.\nI sometimes think of Lafayette as a cultural vortex with a magnetic pull that attracts like-minded souls. If you are longing for community\, (music or otherwise)\, you’ll likely find it here. Relaxed\, warm and welcoming\, folks here are unafraid to show affection for one another\, and are there for each other when times get tough. Cajun and Creole music\, mostly sung in French\, permeates the air\, and hardwood floors are filled with excellent dancers of all ages and ethnicities. Each successive generation passes the time-honored traditions down to the next\, preserving the cuisine\, music\, and language. Even in times of great strife and uncertainty\, Lafayette somehow always manages to provide a soft landing.\nMiss Tess lives and works in Nashville these days but is a recurrent visitor to Lafayette. She has played our clubs and is a frequent guest at the beloved Blackpot Festival and Cook Off\, held every year on the last weekend of October since its inception in 2006. She has made many lifelong friends and fans in Lafayette since she first started visiting here back in 2010\, and many of them are among the finest musicians South Louisiana has to offer. The same can be said for her uber-talented musical partner\, the ubiquitous Thomas Bryan Eaton – guitar mastermind and producer extraordinaire. Thomas is an exceptional musician and has been a key element in Miss Tess’s touring band for many years. He is a wizard in the studio and a highly sympathetic musical collaborator. Thomas and Tess met onstage in New York City back in 2010\, and they both visited Lafayette that same year\, attending Blackpot for the first time. They’ve been coming back as often as possible ever since.
