“The Road to Nightfall competition has been crucial in developing a local talent pool of musicians and bands who are ready to take the stage at some of our city’s larger events like the Nightfall concert series,” says Carla Pritchard from Chattanooga Presents.
“Chattanooga has a wealth of local talent that is eager to work together to build a larger audience base of music lovers dedicated to the local scene," SoundCorps Executive Director Stratton Tingle says. "The Road to Nightfall competition is a great way for these artists to network, build their resumes, and make their mark on our community. We’ve seen so many past participants go on to thrive on larger stages locally, regionally, and nationally. and we can’t wait to see who rises to the top in 2023.”
