SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special – 11/22 – Will Kruger / Chris Long
DESCRIPTION:Kruger shares a style that recalls many of his earliest folk music influences\, among them\, Peter\, Paul and Mary\, Simon & Garfunkel\, Gordon Lightfoot\, John Denver and James Taylor in particular. \nHe’s toured nationally\, sharing his “Folk Legend’s Tribute Show” at house concerts\, libraries\, conservation events\, coffee houses\, corporate functions and larger auditoriums in addition to appearances at a number of Nashville venues. \nFour of his songs were featured in the films\, “God Where Are You” and “Grace Of The Father.” In addition\, he played the part of Noel Paul Stookey in the nationally touring Las Vegas tribute group\, “Peter Paul & Mary Alive\,” for several years. \nKruger\, who performs regularly in East Tennessee at The Smoky Mountain Brewery\, The Listening Room Cafe\, Calhoun’s\, and The Abbey\, said he’s been playing music over 50 years. “Music can convey emotion on so many levels\,” he said. “Music does that for me. The songs that I write touch on love\, relationships\, and faith. If I can communicate those things with my audience and touch their hearts\, then all the work that I do is well worth it. I have a saying: ‘Have I ever told you how much I love music?”‘ \n \nSinger-songwriter Chris Long\, music is an adventure that keeps getting better and better. He grew up with a father who was a musician\, and learned to play guitar at age 12. Since then\, the adventure’s just kept going. Chris Long writes and performs music from the Heartland\, Roots Rock & Americana genres. \nChris played in two bands with his father in the late 90s and early 2000s. They played together in the bands Sloe Ginn and Stonewall Gray. Since then\, he’s moved away from performing with a group to focus on a career as a solo singer-songwriter. He has performed across the US and internationally\, including performances at Nashville’s famed Bluebird Cafe and The Commodore. Chris has graced the stages of Dollywood’s famed DreamMore Resort\, Jim Oliver’s Smokehouse and the infamous WDVX “Blue Plate Special” along with radio & television appearances. \nChris’s music blends Americana and rock to create a rough yet classic sound. His focus is on telling stories of everyday life and the world around him through his songs. He’s heavily influenced by Bruce Springsteen\, John Mellencamp\, and Creedence Clearwater Revival. The sounds of classic rock come through in his music. He’s also a history teacher\, something that’s had a strong impact on his songwriting. He says\, “For me\, music has to mean something. I love songs that speak about life and the world we live in. That’s the music that tells our story. That’s the music we carry with us throughout life.” \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special – 11/12 – Stephen Simmons
DESCRIPTION:In the years since his first album\, 2004’s Last Call\, Nashville singer-songwriter Stephen Simmons has wandered the wide landscape of American roots music\, from contemplative country and finger-picked folk to rugged and ragged blues-rock. \nOn his 12th album\, Hunch\, released October 24\, 2025\, he hints at the thread that ties 20 years of ideas together. \n“It makes me feel better when I tap into the truth” he sings in the closing track on Hunch\, “Someone Like You\,” a ballad brimming with Rhodes chimes and gentle longing. \nTapping into the truth doesn’t only mean one thing\, and the 10 tracks on Hunch show the breadth of what it means to mine what feels real\, from connection and disconnection to wonder\, sorrow\, reflection and confusion. \n“It’s not therapy\, but it’s therapeutic\,” Simmons says. “People talk about when you first start writing\, sometimes it’s almost like clearing your throat. You’re not really at the thing yet\, and sometimes you write for a while before you get in some kind of flow. And then something starts coming together. And when you feel it\, you know it’s true — and you didn’t know yet how you were gonna say it ’til it comes out. It’s gratifying.” \nHunch’s predecessor\, 2020’s Family Album\, explored the truth of where Simmons comes from in deep detail\, with 18 songs about family and hidden history captured inside his grandmother’s empty house in Woodbury\, Tennessee. \nReleased amid the pandemic\, it originated and unintentionally stayed close to home\, as Simmons and so many of his contemporaries got stuck introducing and supporting new music virtually\, smartphone sets streaming from living room to living room. \nHunch is the post-pandemic door flung wide open\, carrying Simmons back to the road and miles away from Tennessee. He’s in a Dresden sushi bar\, wondering how and why love sparks. He’s in a rented car in Amsterdam\, tracing what takes us toward wrong turns. He’s gazing at the moon. \nBut wherever Hunch travels\, the narratives always seem to pull Simmons back home. \nMid-tempo country cut “Grandpa’s Jacket” considers how we crave ties to where we came from\, even while we chase adventure. The album’s title track\, while just as imbued with truth\, comes at life decisions with a wink and a bluesy lurch. Everyone had ideas for where that kid from Woodbury might go. But\, “Uncle Glen had the best plan of the bunch\,” Simmons sings\, “strummin’ on the guitar and live your life on a hunch.” \n“That’s the only one that’s a little cheeky\,” Simmons says. “It’s tongue-in-cheek. It’s a blues-rock song. Then everything else goes a completely different direction. I don’t know why\, it just kinda felt like a pivot.” \nTo render the full pivot\, Simmons turned to folks who’ve been part of his musical story tracing almost back to when he first left Woodbury. \nGoffrey Moore (Jonatha Brooke\, Maia Sharp) produced Hunch in his Madison\, Tennessee\, studio\, and he and Simmons invited contributions from lap and pedal steel player Paul Niehaus\, singer/pianist Molly Jewell\, bassists Dave Jacques and Billy Mercer\, and drummers Matthew Crouse and Bryan Owings. \nAll accomplished players who’ve collaborated with country and Americana greats from John Prine to Patty Griffin\, they’ve all played with Simmons on various songs and stages over decades. \nThese well- and long-established personal and musical connections allowed Moore and Simmons to experiment in comfort\, letting songs go where they seemed to want to. The songwriter’s initial intent was to hole up in Moore’s century-old cabin to capture a stripped-down set. But as the recording progressed and friends came in\, Hunch took a more dynamic and textured turn. \n“It was a different way to do it for me\,” Simmons says. “It kinda lent itself to\, like\, ‘OK\, well\, maybe we’ll go big on this one.’ And then all of a sudden\, it presents itself.” \nCall it following intuition. Call it living on a hunch.

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special – 11/10 – Michael Delisle / Pete Erlandsen
DESCRIPTION:My music has roots in blues\, old folk\, outlaw country\, and acoustic adaptations of 60s and early 70s tunes (I’m a genuine old fart\, turned 75 a while back)\, as well as several dozen tunes I wrote myself. \nI began performing in my teens and played regularly through the 60s\, 70s\, 80s\, and early 90s\, starting up in the midwest with bands like Appaloosa\, Pythea’s Tribe\, Briarwood Thyme\, and the Smokin’ Grays\, and working as a solo artist\, too.​ \nUpon moving to Tennessee in 1982 I put together a great blues and southern rock band\, the Michael Brothers Band\, with Knoxville lead guitar stalwart Michael Jordan. We rocked it till the early 90s\, and after stints with Mojo and The Works\, I kinda retired when son Jesse was born\, and didn’t pick it back up till about 2014. But as soon as I started back\, I started playing every day\, actually more than when I played out so much.​ \nYou’d think that somebody who’d been playing almost 60 years oughta be damn good by now\, but I’m living proof that’s not always true. I consider myself fair to middling: I can hold a decent rhythm\, know quite a few chord voicings\, can forge my way through leads and fills\, and play most of the parts on my recordings. \nI’ve done hundreds of open mic performances over the past several years\, along with dozens of gigs and house concerts. Jesse comes out to most of the shows and has almost as much fun as I do. Bottom line? I’m loving it all and intend to keep at it as long as I’m able. \n \nPete Erlandsen will also join us this day.

SUMMARY:First Friday Live - 11-7 - Sophie Gault
DESCRIPTION:Sophie Gault has always been a little unhinged. A Nashville-based Americana rocker with a midnight voice and an eye and ear for last call rock and roll\, she writes songs that swagger\, stumble\, wink\, and bleed. With her third full-length album\, Unhinged\, Gault triples down on the risk-taking drive that has revved her from dive bars to the big tents\, crafting a record that feels at once deeply personal and side-eye defiant. \nUnhinged is a dare. A fast\, reckless\, one-eye-open ride through cow-punk Buck Owens\, punked-up Robert Johnson\, outlaw cruise mischief\, shipwreck coins\, blackjack tables\, and backroom heartbreak. It’s the sound of someone doubling down on 17 when everyone screams “No!”—and winning. It’s the smell of whiskey and Monte Cristos at 2 AM; the taste of cheap red wine mixed with heat lightning\, then you cross a forbidden line while laughing to the stars. \nBorn with a restless streak that fuels musical infernos\, Gault quickly found her place among the city’s creative underground. Over the years\, her biting songwriting and electric live presence have made her a name to circle on the Americana scene\, praised for both her razor-edged honesty and her sly sense of humor. The songs on Unhinged twist between the sly revenge of “Merlot Dodge Dart\,” the fingerpicked confession of “Chestnut St\,” the cocky sway of the title track\, and the tender\, water-lit ache of “Is There Anyone Out There\,” sung with Gurf Morlix himself. \nTradition gets honored\, flipped\, and satisfyingly kicked over—from classic Nashville to Robert Johnson to the ballad from Gurf that no one else would think to touch. Across ten tracks\, Gault raises a glass to the chaos of life\, leans into the messiness of desire and reinvention\, and proves that the most outlaw thing you can do is trust your gut and live with the outcome. \nDirty guitars snarl like a late-night confession\, and grooves pull you headlong into the storm. Her voice can smolder one moment and cut like a Katana the next—raw yet deliberate\, wild yet anchored in a truth that refuses to apologize. \nWith Unhinged\, Sophie Gault has solidified her place as one of Nashville’s most compelling voices\, an artist who isn’t afraid to take chances and tell the truth—even when it stings\, even when it doesn’t wrap up neatly. It’s the sound of a songwriter who has stopped caring about fitting into boxes\, and scoffs at boxes altogether. Above all: life is too short to play it safe. Raise a glass\, place your bet\, and get a little Unhinged.

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special - 10/27 – Michael Dinallo / Jon Byrd
DESCRIPTION:Michael Dinallo is an award winning Producer\, Guitarist\, & Songwriter from Boston\, Massachusetts. \n \nBorn in Birmingham\, Alabama\, JON BYRD lived his formative years in small town America\, deep in the piney woods of south Alabama just one county over from the birthplace of legendary country artist Hank Williams. In the 90s Jon became pivotal in Atlanta’s storied Redneck Underground music scene. Always a featured sideman\, Jon’s first solo recording didn’t come along until after migrating to Music City nearly 20 years ago. Jon’s fourth solo album DIRTY OL’ RIVER harkens back to the first Byrd’s Auto Parts record: up-tempo country songs\, lots of pedal steel\, and some really strong country covers. Jon’s originals “I Get Lost” and “If Texas Is So Great” will be heard for years to come. \nWhen Jon Byrd was just eight years old\, his dad was diagnosed with TB and began singing the immortal Jimmie Rogers’ song “TB Blues” all around the house. That same year Jon saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan and his obsession with the musical tension between country and rock ‘n’ roll was born. Less than two years later he was conscripted into the drum corps of his tiny high school’s marching band and played Booker T. and the MG’s “Green Onions” while the majorettes held the cymbals and danced. There was no turning back. \nAfter touring nationally with jangle-pop purists Tim Lee and the Windbreakers\, and Birmingham’s Primitons in the 1980s\, the 1990s saw Byrd attempting a Ph.D. in American Studies at Emory University in Atlanta… all while becoming a central figure in Atlanta’s storied Redneck Underground music scene as lead guitarist for the seminal and legendary country band Slim Chance and the Convicts (Letters to Mama\, 1993\, and Twang Peaks\, 1996). He also formed the hard country band the Ratchet Set as a musical outlet for his love of old trucking songs and two chord honky-tonk gems.

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special – 10/20 – David Singley
DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in rural central Illinois\, David Singley is a singer- songwriter- guitarist living in Saint Paul\, Minnesota\, whose music is born of the street\, the country\, and the academy. An experienced veteran with decades of backing world-class artists and performers\, he has recently joined the “Great Resignation” and set his sights on his own artistic pursuits. His music evokes the golden era of the singer-songwriter: the late ’60’s and early-to-mid ’70’s; with its chameleonic stylistic twists and turns\, as well as its memorable melodies and insightful\, poetic lyrics. His music expresses a point-of-view that is at once highly personal and triumphantly global. His voice evokes traces of many of his influences: James Taylor\, Gordon Lightfoot\, Jim Croce\, Jackson Browne\, Dan Fogelberg\, and many others. His guitar playing is at once highly focused and passionate\, impressive yet always absolutely appropriate to the song at hand. \nHis two singer-songwriter albums\, 2021’s The Long\, Slow Fuse of Night\, and 2024’s Fools & Mystics\, have each received substantial airplay on noncommercial radio. David has multiple music videos on YouTube with over 100K views\, with some as high as 400+K views. A third album is planned for the Spring of 2026. His solo performances include sharing the stage with artists such as Crys Matthews\, Heather Mae\, Claudia Nygaard\, The Twangtown Paramours\, Paul Kamm & Eleanore MacDonald\, and Caroline Cotter.
