Kanin Wren has skillfully crafted a show through the lens of a singer-songwriter, showcasing spot-on delivery and authenticity.

Kanin, a talented singer-songwriter who began her career at the same age as Taylor Swift, will introduce her first album later this year. Get ready to be blown away by her vocals and become immersed in the music of one of the greatest artists of our time.

Review for The Neon Queen:
This week’s opener is The Neon Queen: ABBAsolutely Mashed Up and Discofied. ABBA — Bright lights, disco beats, soaring vocals, surprising mashups, and the incredible music of ABBA will light up TVFCU Riverfront Nights’ stage this week. This nationally touring act has been entertaining audiences around North America with an ABBA themed show like none other. Keeping the energy onstage is an 80s style LED production, a rocking rhythm section, and amazing harmonies from the lead vocalists, affectionately known as the “Queens.” 

Friends of the Festival have been planning this show for months and will be offering $1 off all drinks for ladies, friendship bracelet making stands, glow sticks and displays of brightly-colored vehicles from Crown Cars.

Mickey McCamish with Friends of the Festival said, “We’re looking forward to seeing our guests dressed from their favorite Taylor Swift era or in the neon dress that reflects colorful ABBA shows. We’re going to be prepared with all sorts of fun offerings and look forward to an evening that is as colorful as it is entertaining.”  

This week will kick off with Food Truck Row opening at 4 p.m. Doggie pools, yard games, water misters and other activities will keep the party going throughout the evening. This week’s Food Truck Row includes Bophca, Broome’s Beverages, C&K’s Snowy Delights, Freaky Funnels, Fro Daddy Donuts, Frut Vybez, I Love Tacos, Johnny Poppers, Royal BBQ, Sidekick Pizzeria, The Bistro and The Freudian Sip.

Planners said, "As a reminder, outside coolers, food and beverages are prohibited. Each vendor is a small business and we hope our guests will enjoy all they have to offer.” 

“We’re grateful for sponsors who are making this series available at no charge for our 18th season,” said Mr. McCamish. “This type of effort takes so much to produce and we couldn’t do it without the strong support from the business community, our guests and of course, the city of Chattanooga.”

Businesses wishing to inquire about sponsorship opportunities are asked to contact Mr. McCamish via email at: Mickey@RiverbendFestival.com
