Description

WDVX 89.9/102.9 FM Knoxville's Blue Plate Special featuring Shawn Camp & The World Famous Headliners, The Hackensaw Boys, Duty Free, and Wise Old River are coming to the Paramount Center for the Arts in historic downtown Bristol on April 9 at 7pm. Presented by Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion and Alpha Natural Resources. General admission tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Shawn Camp & The World Famous Headliners As individual songwriters, The World Famous Headliners create Nashville's heart and soul. After all, they've supplied shooting stars like Trisha Yearwood ("Powerful Thing"), Garth Brooks ("Two Pina Coladas"), Don Williams ("Send Her Roses") and countless others with hits a generation deep. Now they're stepping into their own spotlight as Music City's premier songwriting think tank led by Al Anderson, Shawn Camp & Pat McLaughlin. Currently finishing their first album, much is expected of this talented group of Headliners. The Hackensaw Boys Jambase states: “One never doubts the Hackensaw Boys are giving you everything they have in them. It’s refreshing in a world of half measures and empty talk. They have their sights on the right things and it always comes through in their music.??? This high-energy, folk/rock/country ensemble was a crowd favorite at BRRR 2009 and have toured with a bevy of diverse acts including The Flaming Lips, Cracker, Modest Mouse, Cake, Railroad Earth, Cheap Trick and De La Soul. Duty Free Bristol's Duty Free is garage bluegrass at its best. Comprised of some of the area's best known players, their reputation for precision picking and expert licks is only matched by the enthusiasm they generate with audiences. Wise Old River Well-crafted songs and outstanding vocals are the hallmark of this southwest Virginia family band. Among the top tier of regional talent, their Americana flavor is heartfelt and completely original.
