This FREE summer-long program, held each Friday evening from Memorial Day weekend (May 23) through the last weekend of September 26 at Miller Plaza, features a wide variety of headline performances by world-class musicians from around the globe. Each show begins at 7:00 PM with a local opening act, followed by the evening's headline performer at 8:00 PM.
Formed in Oxford, Mississippi, the trio of Cary Hudson, Frank Coutch and Laurie Stirratt (twin sister of John Stirratt, bass player for the like-minded Americana band Wilco), is rightly considered one of the pioneering groups of the alt-country movement of the mid-1990s.
Arguably one of the most exciting Canadian acts of late, Basia Bulat performs playful and catchy pop/folk melodies that linger in your mind. This singer songwriter and her band combine a variety of strings, acoustic guitar, and a frantic drum-kit gallop to create their sound, which is heavily influenced by the boisterous music of the sixties.
This startling Austin-based six piece band (guitar, fiddle, drums, piano, upright bass) formed just last year at Merlefest and has gone on to receive critical acclaim. Their tight, seamless, acoustic sound blends gypsy swing, bluegrass, big band jazz and Americana roots music.
Al Anderson was named one of the 100 greatest guitarists of the 20th century by Guitar Player magazine as well as Nashville songwriter of the year, but his 23 years on the road with NRBQ gave him legendary status with music fans from coast to coast. He brings an all-star band to Nightfall for a rare, jaw-dropping public performance.
To whom it may concern:
Please, PLEASE look into getting a better sound mixer for your Nightfall concert series this year. The local bands have to suffer with your local sound mixer and it sounds AWFUL!!! Please pay attention and see for yourselves. We NEED A NEW SOUND MIXER!!!!!!!!

Thank you for being dog friendly1209732756
You are to be commended for allowing us to bring our four legged family members to Nightfall. You are one of the few venues in Chattanooga that allows dogs, and it is so enjoyable to have them in the crowd. Thank you!
