The Little Dizzy Band
Happy Birthday to me! That’s right, Bill & Nona’s little boy will be a year older this Saturday .Why is that important to the entire music loving world? Because it isn’t about me, it’s about the music and the Little Dizzy Band has come out of hibernation to play at Bud’s Sportsbar Saturday night. With the dynamic singer Mia Younger, backed by a great band that can cure any allergy known to mankind, it is sure to be a fun night out on Brainerd Road. Come by and say hello. If you really want to buy me a gift, go give blood at the blood bank, or send a check to St. Jude’s Hospital. If you insist on getting me one, a Sea Ray 32 foot boat will do just fine, or a transmission for my 1994 Ford F-150 will also suffice.
Last week, I mentioned the new venue, Southside Saloon & Bistro, located on Chestnut Street, in the old Red Lantern building. They are really kicking up the live music heat on the Southside, and it looks like they have a great lineup in place. I think it is going to be a great place to go listen to music. Give em’ a try!
The folks at the Coconut Room in the Palms at Hamilton are starting a new music series entitled "Late Night Set" featuring The Dana Rogers Jazz Quartet. It will include mostly jazz and jazz-influenced performers as well as touches of blues. These concerts will take place every Friday and Saturday night following the dinner hour piano show performed by Jimmy Harris, beginning next month.
"Our focus continues to be to bring a variety of top live entertainment to the Chattanooga area in a fine dining environment," says Ricky Gray, owner of the restaurant. "The Palms, this areas multi-concept restaurant, lounge and piano bar is the perfect place to make new friends while enjoying a great meal. Our "Late Night Set" series every Friday and Saturday night brings another level of sophistication to our late night venue. Customers will be able to enjoy late night dining while being entertained with the smooth sounds of jazz music live."
The Palms at Hamilton is no stranger to providing great entertainment and great food to the Chattanooga area. Since its opening 4 years ago The Palms has transformed into a supper-club type atmosphere in The Coconut Room while remaining a late night venue in The Palms Lounge and Patio.
Live shows take place nightly with The Chattanooga Monday Nite Big Band on Mondays, All That Jazz on Tuesdays; Wednesdays through Saturday features live piano music in The Coconut Room by Jimmy Harris with live entertainment also in The Palms Lounge on Wednesdays & Thursdays. The Palms is located at 6925 Shallowford Road just down from the Hamilton Place Mall. For more information or to make a reservation please call 423-499-5055.
T-Bones, one of my favorite music venues, is celebrating their 25th anniversary Saturday night. Overland Express will play early, followed by Davey Smith. Since I am older, my birthday party trumps theirs, but I may still try to come by and congratulate them on 25 years.
My friend Dennis Massengale at ChattaMusic on Ringgold Road says they now carry band instruments for you up and coming school musicians. He carries flutes, clarinets, trumpets, trombones, and saxophones, which are available as sale items or you can rent them! If you rent the instrument and then decide to purchase it, Dennis will even apply the rental fees to the purchase. Call them at 624-5522.
