Nightfall, Chattanooga’s longest-running outdoor concert series, features free music on the Miller Plaza stage, with food trucks, local artisan vendors and lawn games in Miller Park.
This Friday’s show features traditional old-time southern music of the Hogslop String Band and local musicians The Other Brothers.
The Hogslop String Band, a Nashville-based old-time string band embracing traditional southern music will headline Nightfall with an 8pm performance. Formed in 2009 with the intention of winning every major string band contest in the south, Hogslop String Band has been described as unmistakably raw and southern. Having released their first self-titled studio album in 2019, this group’s music is the perfect example of a real foot-stomping Tennessee jam band.
Opening the show is The Other Brothers, a local improvisational jug band composed of Jon Wimpee (guitar/vocals), BJ Hightower (bass/vocals), Joe Rogers-Jones (percussion), and Joe Dill (banjo/vocals). Entertaining audiences with a unique blend of music, magic and showmanship, their repertoire includes bluegrass, country, folk, and jazz, as well as hits from the ‘60s to the ‘90s. The Other Brothers will be performing on the Miller Plaza stage at 7:00 p.m.

Immediately following the Nightfall, the Lookout Wild Film Festival will be showing an hour of free short adventure films in Miller Park from 9:45-10:45pm.
