“Noontunes allows us to spotlight our growing local music scene and give both visitors and locals a chance to enjoy some of our home-grown talent regularly and for free,” said Mary Howard Ade, music marketing manager at the Chattanooga Convention & Visitors Bureau.
Each live performance has a host who will discuss with the artist his or her background and song selection providing insight not normally gathered from a standard show.
Also, the musicians get the opportunity to perform to a unique crowd during a lunchtime performance slot.
“We had over 50 local musicians apply for one of the 13 performance slots this year,” said Meagan Shinn, program manager at River City Company. “While it was a tough task for the selection committee to narrow it down, we feel the final artists represent the variety of music you can find day to day in our community. Miller Plaza will definitely be a vibrant lunchtime spot these Wednesdays, and we hope that music lovers or people who are looking for a little different lunch experience will join us.”
Each performance will be open to the general public free of charge, live streamed by EPB Fiber Optics and recorded and aired later on WUTC. This River City Company program sponsored by Millennium Bank is made possible through our partners at SoundCorps, Chattanooga Convention & Visitors Bureau, Jazzanooga, WUTC, EPB Fiber Optics and River City Sessions.
