Music Events

 


Leon Bridges: Good Thing Tour - Friday, 7:00pm (doors at 6:00pm)

Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Auditorium

On his sophomore album Good Thing, Leon Bridges’ voice breaks into the debut single “Bad Bad News” in much the same way the artist broke into the public eye in 2015 - forcefully, honestly, and all at once. Gone are the days of Leon Bridges, the up-and-comer with potential. In the years since the release of Coming Home, Leon has proved himself a true artist with staying power. Good Thing cements him as complex, multifaceted, and capable of making groundbreaking work. “I really wanted to prove to people that I can exist in any genre, but still be myself,” he says intently.

Lord Huron with Michael at the Signal - Friday, 8:30pm - SOLD OUT!

Evoking wide-open vistas and the spirit of travel, American indie outfit Lord Huron emerged in the early 2010s on the heels of the indie folk boom, bringing together an expansive and dynamic blend of folk, rock, pop, and threads of Americana. Led by Michigan native Ben Schneider, the Los Angeles-based Lord Huron -- who take their name from one of the five Great Lakes -- found mainstream success in 2014 with the release of their lush, Western-inspired second album, Strange Trails, whose closing track, "The Night We Met," reached an even larger audience in 2017 thanks to a key placement in the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why. The song charted in North America, Europe, and Australia. Republic Records took note and offered the band a record deal. Lord Huron's major-label debut, Vide Noir, hit shelves and streaming sites in April 2018, reaching the number ten spot on the Billboard 200 chart.

Emerge with Camp Normal & Seven Stones - Friday, 9:00pm-11:59pm

Songbirds South

Homegrown in Chattanooga, TN, Emerge blends the raw, in-your-face aggressiveness of metal, with the melodic elements of hard rock to form an explosive, guitar driven sound that builds upon the foundation laid by their predecessors. Originally forming in 2011, the band has relied on blue-collar hard work and determination to secure every opportunity they’ve had, proving that anything is possible by sharing stages with rock legends, as well as personal heroes and influences like Red, Fuel, 10 Years, Trapt, and Scott Stapp. Emerge is comprised of brothers Jared (vocals, guitar), and Jeff Jones (drums) alongside Coty Green (guitar). Their new album is set to release Spring 2019. Photo and information about this event are from www.chattanoogafun.com/event

ETC follows up its season opening production of SIDE SHOW, a musical that examined the freak in all of us, with a play that examines the faith in all of us. A relatively new play to hit the market, THE CHRISTIANS is a play about the pastor of a church, that started in a storefront and now finds itself as a megachurch, with thousands of members, a huge building, a debt paid off and a coffee shop in it’s lobby. This Pastor delivers a sermon that ends with an abrupt change in the philosophical and theological beliefs of this congregation he has shepherded. This change forces a schism and also forces personal reflection. Purchase tickets for $17-$20. Photo and information about this event are from chattanooga.events

Chattanooga Film Festival 2019: Deadtectives - Saturday, 11:55pm-1:55am

Chattanooga Theatre Centre in the Screena Turner Theater

Comedy and horror are two genres that, when combined carefully and in the correct proportions, make something special. Few films have managed to achieve this alchemy (Ghostbusters springs to mind as a shining example), so when one gets it—you’ll excuse the pun (no you won’t)—DEAD right, we have no choice but to share it with our CFF audience. Deadtectives pulls off the balancing act of weaving scares, laughs and some serious heart into one delightful package. Purchase tickets via eventbrite for $12. Photo and information about this event are from www.eventbrite.com


Chattanooga Film Festival 2019 - Body at Brighton Rock - Sunday, 2:40pm-4:40pm

Chattanooga Theatre Centre in the Bruce Springscreen Theater

CFF fan favorite filmmaker Roxanne Benjamin is back with a terrifically tense thriller. All alliteration aside (see what we did there?) we’ve loved Roxanne’s work for years, and we’re thrilled to have an opportunity to share her latest. Here’s the story: Wendy, a part-time summer employee at a mountainous state park, takes on a rough trail assignment at the end of the season, trying to prove to her friends she’s capable enough to do the job. When she takes a wrong turn and ends up deep in the backcountry, she stumbles upon what might be a potential crime scene. Stuck with no communication after losing her radio and with orders to guard the site, Wendy must fight the urge to run and do the harder job of staying put, spending the night deep in the wilderness, facing down her worst fears and proving to everyone—including herself—she’s made of stronger stuff than they think she is. Purchase tickets via eventbrite for $15. Photo and information about this event are from www.eventbrite.com


“Meet Me in St. Louis” Presented by the Lee University Theatre and School of Music - Saturday and Sunday at 7:30pm

Dixon Center at Lee University

Based on the heartwarming MGM film, Meet Me in St. Louis is a rare treasure in the musical theatre; a wholesome and delightful portrait of a turn-of-the-century American family. It is the summer of 1903, and the Smith family eagerly anticipates the opening of the 1904 World’s Fair. Over the course of a year, the family’s mutual respect, tempered with good-natured humor, helps them through romance, opportunity, and heartbreaks. Memorable musical numbers include “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” “The Boy Next Door,” “The Trolley Song,” and “Whenever I’m with You.” Recommended for Ages 10+ (no babes in arms, please).

Mike Gardner - Friday-Sunday - shows at 7:30pm (Fri, Sat, Sun) and 9:45pm (Fri & Sat)

The Comedy Patch

Gardner is a rising young star on the comedy circuit! Gardner just released his second DVD Special “Better Than a Real Job”. His edgy autobiographical humor will take you on a roller coaster ride of subjects from his Redneck Mother and growing up with 6-sisters…to his celebrity run-ins during his previous life as a prestigious country club golf pro. You’ve seen him on MTV, FOX, WGN, and you’ve heard him on the nationally syndicated Bob & Tom Show, and Sirius XM Radio. Mike Gardner’s claim to fame came when he once gave Hootie (from the Blowfish) an HJ in a Denny’s parking lot in Lubbock, TX for gas, money, and an autograph.
