While all the recent successes in the Chattanooga local music scene are underway as long time players get their due recognition in events like the widely popular Road to Nightfall and local opening spots for major touring artists at venues like Track 29 & Rhythm & Brews and a few headlining spots at those venues as well, there is a current wave of newer artists honing their skills for launch into the sea of music that is originating right here in the scenic city. In collaboration with ArtFRONT Presentations, The Left Field Showcase is our most accessable stage setup for newly emerging local artists. We will be looking to have events monthly, usually on a Thursday night in Barking Legs Theater and possibly other locations as well.
