The festival also includes live music performances with top notch musicians, Troubadour Blue and Monday Night Social.
Troubadour Blue is composed of siblings, Brenna and Eli Wheeler and Daniel Kim Ethridge. While Brenna and Eli are Nashville natives, Daniel hails from Austin, TX by way of Los Angeles, CA. Daniel and Brenna first collaborated during their time at Belmont University in Nashville and several years later Eli found his way into the mix. Together, the three transport listeners into the stories of their songs with captivating three part harmonies and various string instruments.
Monday Night Social is based out of Cleveland, TN, and is known for their melodic blend of multiple influences ranging from folk to blues with slight bluegrass and pop undertones.
The festival boasts plenty of local eats as well from food trucks, Johnny Poppers (fantastic burgers) and Cart and Seoul (Korean fusion tacos). Water and soft drink options will be onsite—organizers encourage participants to sample alcohol safely.
A portion of the proceeds will benefit the non-profit Chattanooga Market. This is an Over 21 only event; a valid legal ID is required for admission.
