Yacht Rock Schooner Headlines TVFCU Riverfront Nights Saturday

  • Tuesday, August 5, 2025

TVFCU’s Riverfront Nights is in its final weeks, giving concert goers just four shows left to enjoy this season. Yacht Rock Schooner headlines Saturday’s show with the smooth sounds of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. 

Swayyvo is a Chattanooga-based hip-hop and R&B artist, as well as a saxophone and piano player. Tackling the expanding passages of modern rap music with an eye toward its jazz, neo soul and 90s hip-hop influences, Swayyvo has been breaking down the barriers between various genres for years and reinventing his sound and ear consistently.

“TVFCU Riverfront Nights with the diversity of artists that have performed has been well received by our community. Each week has been well attended. So many thanks to TVFCU as the title sponsor and the many other sponsors that enable this summer concert series to remain free for everyone to enjoy,” said Mickey McCamish, executive director for Friends of the Festival.

The show starts at 7 p.m. with concessions opening at 6 p.m. This week’s food vendor lineup includes America Runs on Pizza, Blended Pedaler, C&K’s Snowy Delights, Chef Chasty Seafood & More, Sweet Treats Ice Cream, Truckin’ Eats, and Windy City Eatz.

Many of the series’ sponsors have been supporters for the last 18 summers.  Event organizers note that each week is made possible by generosity of the following sponsors: Food City, Nature Films Network, Crown Automotive Group, Tri Star Beverage, Coca Cola, UNUM, EPB, The Benwood Foundation, Cartersville Museum City, Tennessee Highway Safety Office, Hamico Inc, Lyndhurst Foundation, and BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee.
