The Chattanooga Downtown Partnership concludes its 2009 Nightfall Concert Series Friday on the BlueCross Stage in Miller Plaza with bluegrass act The Gibson Brothers.
Review for The Gibson Brothers:
With harmonies reminiscent of the Everly Brothers, this band captures a lot of the true feelings of country's roots in their upstate New York version of bluegrass. What truly stands out about their music is that they're also songwriters working with a contemporary lexicon of language and issues.
The Gibson Brothers just released a new album in May, titled Ring the Bell.
Fans have described the album as, “Beautiful. Timeless. Wrenching.”
Opening act Dismembered Tennesseans will take the stage at 7 p.m., followed by The Gibson Brothers at 8 p.m.
Celebrating its 21st season, this free concert series continues to bring an eclectic mix of rock, blues, jazz, reggae, zydeco, funk, bluegrass and folk music to Downtown Chattanooga.
