Deer Tick

The Nightfall Concert Series will host the Rhode Island based band, Deer Tick on Friday at 8 p.m. Their opening act will be the local band, Behold the Brave, beginning at 7 p.m. The bands will be performing on the River City Stage in Miller Plaza, and, as always with the Nightfall Concert Series, the performances will be free.

Deer Tick was started by John McCauley as his own solo project in 2004 at the age of 17, and by 19 he had not only toured across the United States, but had also self-released three cassettes and a number of CD-Rsseveral recordings. Now, Deer Tick is five members strong, with McCauley still doing a majority of the vocal work, and the group has professionally released four different albums, including their newest album released in 2011, Divine Providence. The band has become known for a sound that has been recognized by many as aincludes a mixture of folk and country, but now, with grittier instrumentals mixed with McCauley’s guttural , scratchy voice, that sound is trending more and more towards pure American rock and roll. 

The Nightfall Concert Series works to bring Chattanooga denizens quality live and free music that fits into the eclectic lineup of styles that has brought the concert series its widespread recognition. To help concert-goers beat the heat, Nightfall has also now installed a misting tent on site.

Location Of The Delta Queen Is The Problem

The Delta Queen is a magnificent part of history and in many ways I'm pleased she is in town. Having the boat where she is is the problem. The boat blocks the view of and from the prettiest park in our town. The crew take many of the parking spots around the park leaving families to park across Frazier and schlep their kids, strollers and picnics to the park. You don't get fireworks ... (click for more)
