The air is buzzing with the start of spring, and that means the return of Reflection Riding's flagship program—the Campfire Concert Series, presented by Black Creek Chattanooga.
This spring, they have an exciting lineup filled with nighttime jams and family fun around the campfire, bringing people together for evenings of live music, community, and connection to nature.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Lookout Mountain, these concerts create a warm and welcoming atmosphere around the fire.
More than just music, the series supports Reflection Riding’s mission as ticket sales directly fund their work in conservation, education, and community engagement.
When you join them for the Campfire Concert Series, you’re not only enjoying a night under the stars but also helping sustain the future of Reflection Riding.

The Pine Hill Haints | April 17
Not many bands can claim that they were formed in a cemetery—but it was a perfect and appropriately poetic setting for the birth of roots music trailblazers The Pine Hill Haints. Just to address the obvious, the word “haint,” of archaic English origin, means to haunt or to inhabit aggressively.
With a medium-like connection, The Haints have spent the last two decades resurrecting all kinds of music that has passed out of the mainstream—in a style they call “Alabama Ghost Country.”
