The WDVX Blue Plate Special program was created in 1997, the same year WDVX started broadcasting as a community public radio station from a 14-foot camper studio in Norris, TN. The noontime show included themed broadcasts and occasional live performances from visiting artists. In late summer of 2005, WDVX brought back Knoxville’s rich tradition of mid-day live radio shows by producing the Blue Plate Special in front of a live studio audience from its new home in the Knoxville Visitor Center, located at 301 South Gay Street. The WDVX Blue Plate Special is now a signature event in downtown Knoxville and was recognized as the 2006 Knoxville Area Museum/Attraction of the Year.

From blues to bluegrass, country to Celtic, folk to funk, rockabilly to hillbilly, local to international, it’s all part of the real, live music experience on the WDVX Blue Plate Special.


Pullin' at the roots of Alt-country, folk and Americana. Might even dabble in some jangly pop if the mood suits.

Scrogans Run are Kendal based singer-songwriters Wayne Scurrah and Paddy Rogan. A blend of banjo, guitars and vocal harmonies with thought provoking lyrics, they mix traditional influences with their own original bluegrass and folk inspired style. Great for a dance or a listen, their character, melody, rhythm and flow will draw you in....
