Carlene Carter
The Chattanooga Downtown Partnership continues its Nightfall Concert Series Friday on the BlueCross Stage in Miller Plaza with the country-rock of Carlene Carter.
Review for Carlene Carter:
Daughter of June Carter Cash, Carlene Carter has always straddled the line between country and rock. Beginning her career as a rock singer in the mid-'70s, she became immersed in the new wave of the late '70s, before emerging as a country singer in the late '80s. Throughout it all, her style has always infused roots music - whether country or rock ‘n roll - with a nervy, edgy energy.
Carter’s new album, Stronger, has been voted one of the best albums of the year by Country Standard Time.
She was inspired to write this album after marrying her husband, actor Joseph Breen, in 2006.
Opening act Roger Allen Wade will take the stage at 7 p.m., followed by Carlene Carter at 8 p.m.
