The Nightfall Concert Series will continue Friday with a headline show by Plants and Animals. The opening act is Ramble Horse. These free shows are held each Friday on the BlueCross Stage at Miller Plaza, through Sept. 24.
Review for Plants and Animals:
It’s not easy to label the kind of music Plants and Animals make, but it’s easy for it to feel instantly familiar. Maybe that’s because they record to tape, and their records sound like they could have been made in 1972. But for all their analog warmth, it’s also impossible to deny how raw and recent the songs sound, and harder still to find anything else that sounds quite the same.
Presented by the River City Company, and produced by Chattanooga Presents, Nightfall continues to bring an eclectic mix of rock, blues, jazz, world music, funk, bluegrass and folk music to Downtown Chattanooga. Nightfall features Chattanooga musicians for each opening act, beginning at 7 p.m., followed by performances by national and international talent beginning at 8 p.m.
Beer, wine, food and non-alcoholic drink concessions are available on site. No outside food or beverages are allowed.
Corporate sponsors for this year’s series are Fletcher Bright Company, Kelly Auto Group, Bud Light, BlueCross BlueShield, Warehouse Row, Chattanooga Coca-Cola Bottling Co, Walden Security, Chattanooga Choo Choo, The Pulse, Fox 61 and NPR/Music 88.
