SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special – 11/1 – 2 Bands from UT Appalachian Strings
DESCRIPTION:About UT Appalachian Strings\nUT musicology faculty and local Knoxville musician\, Sean McCollough\, created the first-ever UT Appalachian string-band ensemble in the spring semester of 2022. By spring of 2023\, one student band had grown into two. The two current bands play mostly bluegrass – though one of them includes some modern Americana songs in their repertory. Sean’s hope is that there may be enough interest in the future to also have an old-time band\, an Americana band and perhaps even a country band. If you are a UT student and are interested in joining one of the bands\, email Sean at sean@utk.edu. \n

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special - 10/29 – Sam Varga
DESCRIPTION:Kentucky-born songwriter Sam Varga fuses the energy and wit of the emo scene he cut his teeth on as a kid with the craft and sonics of Nashville\, bringing forth an alchemic blend of rock/alt-country that’s an addictive kind of hurt. His forthcoming debut album “Shadow Work”\, born in the emo diaspora of Nashville\, takes the best of both worlds and arrives at something uniquely his own.\n(From the movie My Country Heart)

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.

With the sounds of classic songwriting in their music and the future in their sights\, The Farmer & Adele are reimagining the modern cowboy/cowgirl while respecting its beginnings.

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.

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special – 10/18 – Elise Witt / Tim Chandler
DESCRIPTION:Elise Witt was born in Switzerland\, raised in North Carolina\, and since 1977 has made her home in Atlanta. She speaks fluent Italian\, French\, German\, Spanish\, and English and sings in over a dozen languages. Her passion for music and languages has led her to take her Global\, Local & Homemade Songs™ across the United States and around the globe. \nAmong her ancestors\, Elise claims “Wedding March” composer Felix Mendelssohn and his grandfather\, Jewish philosopher Moses Mendelssohn; Protestant cow farmers from northern Germany; Russian chemists; Polish intellectuals; French Bordeaux wine growers; a British painter; and a great great aunt from Cuba. \n \nGood songwriting matters to all of us whether we know it or not. It tells the truth in a way that keeps us all moving towards something better. When songs become laundry lists and trend chasers\, they become nothing and so do we. \nTim Chandler is a songwriter dedicated to telling that kind of truth in song in an out of the box way. Combining his influences of bluegrass\, country\, and folk\, his music is drawn from life in work\, family\, and frustrations with songs that don’t say anything. \nGrowing up a preacher’s son in Western Kentucky\, Tim’s first exposure to music came through the traditional hymns that made up every service. Now\, his influences range all over the board\, drawn from the places and people he has worked with\, roamed with\, and written with. From West Coast cover bands to Rocky Mountain forestry crews\, swampy Florida factory floors to construction sites in Alabama. Now\, he wants to share those stories with you. \nTim currently shares his music on a regular basis and has played everywhere from Florida to California to New Jersey – with multiple features on local radio shows and music festivals – including the award winning “Blue Plate Special” on WDVX. He has a whole catalog of songs to his name and now his self-titled record is available to purchase or stream. You can keep up with him and his bandmates on Facebook\, Instagram or wherever you stream music.

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special – 10/11 – Rebecca Porter / Robby Hecht
DESCRIPTION:Born in Guam and raised in the Shenandoah Valley\, Rebecca Porter blends soulful melodies and fearless lyrics with her honey-smooth voice to create her own brand of Appalachian honky tonk. Her 2023 EP\, Queen of the Local\, earned national acclaim and led to recognition in Rissi Palmer’s Color Me Country Class of 2024\, features on Ed Helms’ Good Country\, and a debut on NPR’s Mountain Stage. Known for electrifying live performances\, Porter captivates audiences with her emotional intensity and grit. Porter’s personal and raw storytelling continues to push boundaries\, projecting a cinematic soundscape that balances traditional country’s rugged spirit with an unapologetic journey of perseverance. \n \nRobby Hecht has been captivating audiences as a touring singer-songwriter for over two decades\, combining quietly impactful songwriting reminiscent of Tom Waits or Jim Croce with the graceful vocal resonance of James Taylor. With a remarkable blend of insightful lyricism\, memorable melodies\, and a voice that carries both strength and tenderness\, his music resonates with audiences from all walks of life. \nRobby’s dedication to the craft and collaborative spirit have solidified his reputation as a versatile and respected artist within the industry. He garnered recognition as a songwriter’s songwriter early in his career\, winning a number of revered performing songwriter contests and touring across the US and Europe. His music has been the soundtrack for countless journeys\, amassing over 25 million streams to date. And with more than 60 songs recorded by other artists\, as well as numerous contributions as a featured vocalist\, Robby has added his distinct touch to the work of fellow musicians\, reaching music lovers through the voices of others. \nBeyond his musical endeavors\, Robby is a passionate advocate for mental health awareness. Openly discussing his own journey with bipolar disorder\, he shines a light on these issues\, breaking the stigma and offering support and inspiration to those who may be facing similar struggles. \nRobby’s highly anticipated album\, Not a Number\, is a powerful reflection on the evocative and turbulent journey of the past few years. Featuring twelve introspective tracks\, each with the potential to become a personal favorite\, the album weaves together themes of divorce\, emotional recovery\, nostalgia\, the unity of humanity\, and the profound significance of individual experiences. It is a musical tapestry that resonates deeply with listeners\, meeting them wherever they may be on their own life’s path. \nNot a Number was produced by veteran singer-songwriter and sought after guitarist Anthony da Costa\, who also contributed much of the arranging and instrumentation on the album. The recording process spanned nearly two years\, initially involving remote performances exchanged during isolation until Anthony and Robby were able to complete the project together in person. The album features notable guest vocal performances by acclaimed artists from Nashville and beyond including Caroline Spence\, Jess Nolan\, Jill Andrews\, Katie Pruitt\, Lydia Luce\, The Sea The Sea\, Ruth Moody\, and Trousdale. \nRobby Hecht’s music is a testament to the power of storytelling and the ability of songs to touch our souls.

SUMMARY:Kidstuff Live - 10/11 - Miss Lynn
DESCRIPTION:Join your host Sarah Pirkle every 2nd Saturday at 10:00 AM for a toe-tapping\, family-friendly live music performance made just for kids—and their grownups who love them! From catchy tunes to musical surprises. This day Miss Lynn will be joining us! \nSome Very Good Words to Describe Miss Lynn: \nIDEALISTIC: On the day 9-year old Lynn Hickernell was selected as captain of a gym class kickball team\, she knew just what she would do: the first members chosen for her team would be the classmates who\, like her\, were usually picked last. As the teams assembled\, she ignored the quizzical facial expressions and continued to select smaller\, less-coordinated 4th graders\, instead of the stronger\, faster students who quickly made up the opposing team. She knew that her team might not be obvious victors\, but if they worked together\, they could show the other team what they could do–which turned out to be lose. Badly. By a score of approximately 25 to 0. And while it wasn’t much fun to lose that spring morning\, many years later it made a good story. \nUNPRETENTIOUS: Miss Lynn knows we are all still learning (she even wrote a song about it)\, so she’s not worried about telling stories to try and make herself look cool. The fact that she thinks being cool is overrated is one of the driving forces behind the music she makes and The Good Words Podcast. \nZEALOUS: She loves so many things! Music! Doughnuts! The color yellow! And WORDS! She loves words so much that she created a whole podcast about them. You can find The Good Words Podcast on iTunes\, on the Good Words Podcast Website\, or many other podcast providers. \nTRANSIENT: Even though she’s pretty down to earth\, Miss Lynn also spends a lot of time traveling\, making concerts with kids and adults all over and working on The Good Words Podcast. You can find some of the places she’ll be by looking at the calendar. \nAMBIVALENT: Miss Lynn has very mixed feelings about social media in general and her involvement in particular\, but if you are so inclined\, you can find her on Facebook\, Instagram\, and Twitter. \nUBIQUITOUS: But even though she can only be in one physical location at a time\, you can find her all over the Internet! In addition to all the places mentioned above\, find her music on iTunes\, and CD Baby! \n \n

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special - 10/6 - Pete Denahy
DESCRIPTION:Pete Denahy knew when he was 11 years old he wanted to be a country singer. He taught himself guitar\, started writing songs and at 13 years old saw Slim Dusty in concert for the first time. Twelve years later he was in Slim’s band playing fiddle and doing a comedy spot on the show.\nWhile he has written some ridiculous comedy songs\, he is no stranger to writing a heart wrencher\, but he is fully aware that his songs about insects and toilet paper hold special places in the hearts of his fans.\nHis latest record “She Loves Me To The Moon” is not a comedy release but a traditional country album featuring his own fiddle playing\, twangy guitars and wailing pedal steel. Produced by Simon Johnson at Hillbilly Hut Studio\, it includes fine playing by some of Australia’s best and a collection of new tracks penned with help from the Wolfe Brothers\, Mike Carr\, Bill Whyte and Evan Murphy.\nPete is a five time Golden Guitar winner and is very happy to have won three of those for his fiddle playing – an instrument that has kept him in work for many years. As well as working as a side man and guest artist for Slim\, he has done the same for Sara Storer\, Troy Cassar-Daley and Lee Kernaghan.\nPete takes two trips a year to Japan with Australian music fans to explore the bluegrass and country scene there.

SUMMARY:Scruffy Roots Fest - 10/4 - Vaden Landers\, Wyatt Ellis & a Tom Petty Tribute from The Deep Fakes
DESCRIPTION:Kerns Food Hall presents the first-ever Scruffy Roots Fest Saturday evening October 4th at five p.m. on the big stage outdoors with live music from Vaden Landers\, Wyatt Ellis and a Tom Petty Tribute from The Deep Fakes. Doors at 4 p.m. Thanks to Sugarlands Distillery for their support. WDVX is a media sponsor. \n8pm to 9:30pm – Wyatt Ellis\n6:15pm to 7:45pm – The Deep Fakes (tom petty tribute set)\n5pm to 6pm – Vaden landers \nFrom the enchanting landscapes of Eastern Tennessee comes the burgeoning talent of Vaden Landers\, a 30-year-old artist weaving a tapestry of melodies that harken back to the golden era of country music. Vaden’s journey began as a train-hopping troubadour and street-busker\, crafting songs that resonate with the very soul of Americana. \nAffectionately dubbed “The Yodeling Country Bluesman\,” Vaden has etched his name into the vibrant streets of Asheville\, North Carolina. His authenticity shines as a torchbearer of the classic country tradition\, infused with a contemporary spark. \nWith an eclectic fusion of honky-tonk\, rockabilly\, folk\, blues\, ragtime\, jazz\, western swing\, and old-time Appalachian influences\, Vaden Landers emerges as a pioneer breathing new life into the traditional country music scene. His performances at various music festivals\, including the illustrious WoodyFest and the renowned Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion\, have left audiences enraptured. \nAs Vaden Landers takes the stage\, he invites you to embark on an enthralling journey – one that transcends time and genre. \n \nWyatt Ellis has accomplished more by age 16 than many musicians do in a lifetime. Hailing from the foothills of the Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee\, he’s quickly emerging as one of bluegrass music’s brightest young stars. With virtuosic mandolin playing\, heartfelt vocals\, and original songwriting\, Wyatt blends the deep traditions of bluegrass with a fresh\, youthful energy. Backed by a powerhouse band of Appalachia’s finest young musicians\, Wyatt delivers high-octane performances that range from the Grand Ole Opry to major festivals like MerleFest and Gray Fox. His band’s signature single-mic setup showcases their tight harmonies\, high-lonesome vocals\, and blistering solos\, creating a sound steeped in tradition yet driven by the future. Wyatt’s breakout year included a debut at the Newport Folk Festival\, chart-topping original instrumentals from his debut album\, and becoming one of the youngest regular performers in Grand Ole Opry history. His authentic Appalachian songwriting and seasoned stage presence have quickly set him apart as a once-in-a-generation talent with a deep respect for bluegrass music’s heritage. 2024’s IBMA Momentum Instrumentalist of the Year and twice nominated for IBMA’s New Artist of the Year\, Wyatt has collaborated with legends like Peter Rowan\, Marty Stuart\, and the late Bobby Osborne. His January 2025 release\, Winds of Rowan County\, a duet with Rowan\, celebrated bluegrass roots while symbolically passing the torch. Wyatt’s lead and harmony mandolin solo on Bobby Osborne’s final recording of “Rocky Top\,” along with their co-written instrumental “Fern Branch\,” were both featured on Osborne’s posthumous album\, a tribute to Wyatt’s connection to his hero and mentor. With a debut vocal album of all-new original songs on the way\, Wyatt Ellis stands poised at the forefront of bluegrass\, honoring the legacy of the genre while boldly pushing it forward into a new era. \n \nFrom rock ‘n roll to new wave\, The Deep Fakes play spot on versions of our favorite music of the cassette and vinyl era. Whether it’s a chart topping hit or a deep cut\, every effort is made to accurately capture and reproduce the original studio release. \n  \n \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special – 9/30 – Zach Russell
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, thousands of people flock to the city of Nashville with hopes of “making it”. Ironically\, it wasn’t until Zach Russell made the decision to leave Music City\, USA that he inked his first record deal with Thirty Tigers. The drive back home may have only been three hours long\, but Russell’s journey back to old haunts in Eastern Tennessee isn’t quite that cut and dry. \nIn the 7 years preceding that trip down I-40\, there were stints as a manager at a shoe store and a karaoke host. He calloused his hands installing irrigation systems and working as a carpenter. He traveled the US and Europe as Tyler Childers’ merchandise manager and got to witness firsthand what it takes to chase down greatness. Through it all\, one thing that remained constant was his belief that he could chase it down as well. \nMusic has always played a pivotal role in Russell’s life. A background in Baptist and Hymnal music as a youth and a taste for hip-hop\, rock\, and country music informed his musical style between 2016 and 2020 as he found his footing. In 2021 the world received its proper introduction to Zach Russell as a fully formed artist with the release The Creek. This five-song EP proved not only to be a landmark release in Russell’s career\, but with its lyrical depth\, soaring instrumental jams and infectious melodies\, it served as proof that this landmark was merely the first of many to come. \nSince moving home and finding clarity\, the past 18 months have been busy for Russell. He spent those months writing music\, touring with The Alex Leach Band\, and delivering a guest appearance on Adeem the Artist critically acclaimed album\, White Trash Revelry. That wave of momentum has culminated to this moment\, and the release of his highly anticipated full-length debut\, Where the Flowers Meet the Dew. \nOnce again joining forces with up-and-coming producer Kyle Crownover (Adeem the Artist)\, this ten-song effort never takes its foot off the gas pedal. Dominant themes of wrestling with mortality\, pondering reincarnation\, and finding that ever elusive feeling of contentment in this life weave gracefully through. \nAs the old saying goes\, “Big hitters take big swings.”\, and Russell’s choice as the first single is as bold a statement as can be made. Coming in at a shade over seven minutes long\, “Born Again” begins as a rockabilly banger\, then midway through\, via a psychedelic segue it morphs into a funky\, groove heavy jam. Russell sings of reincarnation and hints that perhaps every waking moment is\, in fact\, an opportunity to start anew. \nThe first half of the record is filled with traditional waltzes (“I Thought I Was the Trees”\, “Take Me Back to Tennessee”)\, haunting electric folk (“What You Want Comes to You”)\, and 60’s R&B style (“Milk & Honey”) cuts. Its deep\, mellow\, and the lyrics are contemplative. It draws you in while not letting the listener get too comfortable. \nBeginning with the aforementioned rip-roaring lead single\, the back half of the record brings with it an altogether different vibe. Greasy\, distorted guitar licks pepper the back half of Where the Flowers Meet the Dew. “Playing House” fully displays his creative dexterity\, and would be right at home on a post-grunge rock radio station\, circa 1998\, sandwiched between Matchbox 20 and Third Eye Blind numbers. Later\, on “Nothin’ to Haul”\, he boldly calls out the posers and wannabes that fill the Nashville scene.
