Curren$y “The Winners Circle Tour” w/ The 747 Band + Special Guest Fendi P

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Born Shante Anthony Franklin and raised in New Orleans, Curren$y (Hip-Hop/Rap) was originally signed to Master Ps No Limit label, but in 2005 he made the move to Lil Wayne and Birdmans Cash Money imprint, Young Money. He appeared on Waynes Tha Carter II album that same year, then in 2006, Curren$y's Where da Cash At single was released -- both on its own and as part of Waynes Dedication 2 mixtape -- but a promised album never materialized. Not one to sit idle, Curren$y started Fly Society with professional skateboarder Terry Kennedy in 2007. The brand was originally planned as a line of apparel, but evolved into a music label as the rappers relationship with Young Money soured. After leaving the label at the end of 2007 with Fly Society in tow, a series of underground mixtapes appeared before Curren$y hooked up with the digital-only Amalgam Digital for the early 2009 release This Ain't No Mixtape. The relationship continued that October with the download-only Jet Files, but in early 2010 he joined the Def Jam family via Damon Dashs DD172 imprint. With the labels in-house producer Ski Beatz handling most of the production on both, Curren$y's Pilot Talk album appeared in July of that year, with Pilot Talk II landing in 2010. The stopgap release Weekend at Burnie's followed in 2011, with the retro backing tracks coming from producer Monsta Beatz. Beatz, along with the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. Leauge and Pharrell, was back for the rapper's 2012 street release, The Stone Immaculate. ~ David Jeffries

Ernest: Live From The South Tour

Sat, 28 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Nashvilles most unpredictable hitmaker ERNEST is The Charmer: a triple threat talent who creates a sound all his own and one of Music Citys defining artist-writers who continues to push and challenge the artistic status quo. The GRAMMY-nominated, 4X ACM Award nominee (2024), 2X CMA Triple Play Award winner, and 2022 / 2023 Variety Hitmaker fuses influences ranging from Eminem to George Jones, crafting a twist-heavy verse style thats become his signature, proving its mettle, and earning him twelve No. 1 hits as a songwriter and one No. 1 at country radio himself. The eccentric free spirit released his highly anticipated full-length sophomore album, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE, last year, a set that maintain(s) Nashvilles tethering to its legendary history while wholly embracing the soul of the citys future, featuring 26 songs and collaborations with genre tastemakers Lainey Wilson, Lukas Nelson, Jelly Roll, HARDY, and more. The album was named one of the Best of the Year by Billboard, Los Angeles Times, The Tennessean, and Country Now, following in the footsteps of its critically acclaimed predecessor, FLOWER SHOPS (THE ALBUM), and its cleverly expanded deluxe edition, FLOWER SHOPS (THE ALBUM): Two Dozen Roses.

Also featuring:

Rhys Rutherford (Country)

With the killer instincts of a Music City hitmaker, 25-year-old Rhys Rutherford was raised on songs and is now putting his education to work. Signed to Erns Cadillac Music /DeVille Records and with a commanding baritone vocal, the emerging country songwriters first batch of tunes were just beginning to land, when provocateur (and benevolent bossman) ERNEST encouraged him to pursue an artistic career. His voice is too good to just give away songs, Ern says. Born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, the student of songwriting masters learned at the foot of his father Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame member Rivers Rutherford soaking up the wisdom and sound of chart-topping contemporary country. Matching that to a penchant for classic rock, grunge and hip hop, he wrote his first song at 16 and after coming home from a short stint at Ole Miss, began using that open-minded fusion of styles for real. Years of under-the-radar work led to a publishing deal with Erns Cadillac Music in 2023, and then early cuts like Bailey Zimmermans Is This Really Over?, ERNESTs Hangin On (feat. Morgan Wallen), George Pippens Rest of Our Life, and more. Blending those songwriting chops with his rumbling, soul-piercing vocal and a knack for authentic, relatable hooks, Rutherford is one of the first artists signed to DeVille Records. Hell make his first appearance on the label-launching Cadillac Sessions mixtape, sharing the dusky dive-bar anthem of missed chances Get Her Name and more. And with a solo debut in the works, Rutherford is just scratching the surface of his potential. I think this is just the start of something something really big, he says.

REGISTRATION: Select your branch and then class time. Your child will be attending at the same time daily for the week.

If your child completes all five days of Safety Around Water lessons, you will receive a 25% discount on their next group swim lesson package.

Classes are filling up fast. If you are unable to join a session, consider one of our 2026 Summer Day Camps for your child. All day camps include FREE swim lessons. Browse options now.

Be Water Smart From the Start!

Annually, over 3,500 American children are treated in the emergency due to a drowning-related incident. Approximately 75% of child drownings occur because of a lapse in adult supervision of less than five minutes.

It takes less than one minute for a child to silently slip below the water's surface.
Most drownings occur within 10-30 feet of safety.

You are your child's best lifeguard. However, without proper training or strong swimming ability, you could put yourself in danger. If possible, only swim in areas where a lifeguard is present. Use barriers around the pool and assign an adult to supervise pool activities even when a lifeguard is on duty. Never jump in to save someone. Throw out a flotation device or use a pole to reach a drowning child or adult.

We believe the ability to swim is a critical life skill for every child, teen and adult. In swim lessons, we use a variety of methods to help overcome fears, build confidence in the water and develop skills that last a lifetime. Qualified instructors meet kids and adults at their own level, help families set achievable goals and celebrate all successes.

We offer free swim assessments to Y members under the age of 12 that include:

Treading water for one minute
Swimming the length of the pool
Floating on front and back
Jumping into water over their head

If your child is unable to complete this test, they should remain in the shallow end of the pool and within arm's length of an adult at all times.

Swim Test

All children age 13 and under must take a swim test before entering any swimming pools at the YMCA of Metropolitan Chattanooga. This video will walk you and your child through each step of the swim test, demonstrating what they'll need to do to pass the swim test.

GWAR

Sat, 28 Mar 2026 23:30:00 +0000

The story of GWAR (Heavy Metal) is carved across the history of this hopeless planet, but GWAR themselves are not of this world...Their story begins far past Uranus, in the deepest reaches of space, where the beings known as GWAR were warriors in the Scumdogs of the Universe, an elite fighting force in the army of the Master of All Reality. But GWAR proved too reckless and powerful, and after a series of tragic but hilarious blunders, they were banished to the furthest reaches of the galaxy, with orders to conquer an insignificant backwater prehistoric mudball known as the planet Earth. Once here, GWAR, the original Ancient Aliens, shaped the face of the globe, wiping out the dinosaurs, and mating with apes to create the human race. Having accidentally given rise to all human history, the Master of All Reality froze them in Antarctic ice where they could do no more harm. It was there they were discovered by a shady entrepreneur known as Sleazy P Martini, who sat the band down in front of professional wrestling, late-night horror movies, heavy metal music, and a steady diet of crack cocaine until GWAR became the cultural force they are today!

Also featuring:

Soulfly (Heavy Metal)

SOULFLY has been spearheading the movement of groove metal for decades now, reaching into limitless directions while seamlessly retaining the expert quality and perfection that bears the Cavalera seal of approval. Coming straight from the deep jungles of Brazil to the arid expanses of Arizona, Max and company are soon to deliver their thirteenth album, the mighty, heart-pounding, tribally fueled CHAMA. Once again, a remarkable testament to the Brazilian songwriters natural affinity for slamming yet rhythmic riffs that defined his signature sound to listeners around the world. A true return to the spiritual upbringing of SOULFLY that somehow bears a modern-day edge and vitality. Something that could only be attained by a true master of the craft, and Max has stunned us all again per usual.

It has always been apparent that Max has brought attention to Latin American culture, art, and spirituality through his music, and CHAMA brings him back to those dirty streets of Belo Horizonte as he screams in Portuguese. The name Chama itself literally translates to Flame, but it also embodies the burning vitality of the human spirit, the strength of ancestors, the forces of nature that bind us to the tempo of the earth. Accompanying the album CHAMA is the story of a boy from the dingy favelas of Brazil, who in search of a higher power, finds himself amongst the tribes of the Amazon, who show him the way of the jungles souls. Max comments that the album itself loosely follows this concept, the boy Chama finding his fire amongst the chaos and debris of a collapsing industrial world.

The tribes and indigenous peoples of the Americas play a large role in the inspiration for many of Maxs recordings, and Chama is certainly no exception, bearing the scene of a Navajo ceremonial dancer on the cover of the album. Featured on the inner label is also the image of Oxossi, a guardian of nature. Drums and fire and a ritual that beckons the summoning of ancestor spirits, a burning fuel that defies the darkness, SOULFLY ventures into these sacred spaces where few other metal bands dare to tread. The album kicks off with an intro track, Indigenous Inquisition, an homage to the genocide and extinction of the original American people, as Max hauntingly recites the names of long forgotten tribes, a proclamation to the bloodshed and warrior pulse of those wrongfully persecuted. An uprising for the underdogs, a home for the homeless, peace for the war afflicted. The song remains insane.

Jake Worthington – Intent to Tonk Tour

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

For Big Loud Texas traditionalist Jake Worthington, country music is in his DNA. The La Porte, Texas native was raised on his grandfather's porch performances of Ray Price, Merle Haggard and George Jones, and soon picked up his own Gibson acoustic to realize the breadth of his soon-to-be-classic, wide and wild voice. Now, Worthington breathes fresh life into dance halls, beer joints and ballrooms from Texas to Tennessee with his growing catalog his sophomore album When I Write The Song is out now with Miranda Lambert collaboration Hello Shitty Day, Im The One (feat. Marty Stuart), viral It Aint The Whiskey and more. Captivating the masses with his honky-tonk stylings, the singer-songwriter hits the road this year on his headlining Intent To Tonk Tour, as well as opening dates with Luke Combs, Luke Bryan, HARDY, Parker McCollum, Riley Green and Ian Munsick. I believe in country music as much as I believe in my next breath, Worthington declares, and blame it on my raising, but I think there ought to be room for country in country music.

Also featuring:

Julianna Rankin (Country)

An undeniably talented singer-songwriter, Big Loud Texas artist Julianna Rankin was raised on classic country and the blues. Discovered by musical heroes Miranda Lambert and Jon Randall, the rising Texas native makes her label debut with "Bad Habits and Good Horses" featured in the season finale of Landman via Paramount+.

CLUTCH: Suffer No Evil US Tour

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 23:30:00 +0000

CLUTCH (Heave Metal) shares more in common with The Grateful Dead, Rush, and the Allman Brothers than their heavy riffs and heady twists-of-phrase might suggest. Because like those bands, the supporters who adore CLUTCH are there for the experience, community, and authentic connection.

To love CLUTCH is to feel a sense of ownership, membership, and belonging.

Seneca Valley High School classmates Neil Fallon (vocals), Tim Sult (guitar), Dan Maines (bass), and Jean-Paul Gaster (drums) share an unshakeable musical and personal bond now three decades strong. Shaped by the same region which birthed Bad Brains, Minor Threat, and Rites Of Spring, CLUTCH crafts hyper-literate and libertine jams informed by hardcore fury and fuzzy, athletic, stoner rock.

A worldwide cabal of fans and critics cherish the bands dense and diverse catalog of underground classics, released through major labels, indies, and since 2009, Clutchs own Weathermaker imprint. Sunrise On Slaughter Beach, the bands thirteenth studio album, is a slamming summary of everything that makes the band great and another giant leap forward into career longevity.

Theres no question that Clutch etched themselves a name in the pantheon of great rock bands, Lambgoat wrote in 2004. Classic Rock Magazine counted 2013s Earth Rocker and 2015s Psychic Warfare among the 50 Best Rock Albums of the 2010s. Rolling Stone described 2018s Book of Bad Decisions as bathed in the grit and liberal fuzz tone that have made their live shows legendary.

Those live shows over the years include tours with Slayer, System Of A Down, and Marilyn Manson, and more recent co-headlining treks with Dropkick Murphys, Killswitch Engage, and Mastodon. Like Slayer or Iron Maiden, CLUTCH outlasted rock bands anchored to hit songs and the pressure of replicating them. The foursome from Germantown, Maryland, isnt bound by trends. Across 13 studio albums and assorted releases since 1991, theyve earned a reputation as one of the best around.

Also featuring...

Corrosion of Conformity (Heavy Metal)

Corrosion of Conformity (also known as C.O.C.), was founded in North Carolina by guitarist Woody Weatherman in the early 1980s as one of the first punk metal fusion bands. C.O.C. were known in their early years for their aggressive sound, their clever political lyrics and their willingness to turn away from hardcore and metal conventions. Their shift to a more essential and reduced sound (kind of a deep-South Black Sabbath) in the 1990s brought them closer to the alternative metal zeitgeist and gave them some favors within the mainstream scene.

C.O.C.'s debut was the 1983 thrashy and BLACK FLAG influenced "Eye For An Eye", which brought the lineup Weatherman, drummer Reed Mullin, vocalist Eric Eycke, and bassist Mike Dean to the screen for the first time. They laid the first stone of their cult after the 1985 release "Animosity". However, their former label didnt cope with the bands internal instability - Eycke had to be replaced by Simon Bob - and gave them up after "Technocracy" (1987). It took several years until a new lineup could come together - with Weatherman, guitarist Pepper Keenan, Mullin, vocalist Karl Agell, and bassist Phil Swisher - but it finally resulted in the release of "Blind" (1991), a powerful, focused, metallic record which significantly increased their audience. Agell would be fired after this success, with Keenan becoming the full-time vocalist on the even more Sabbath inspired "Deliverance" (1994) which also saw the return of original bassist Mike Dean. Deliverance would eventually go Gold in America (500,000 units sold) and be the bands most successful album. In 1995, Keenan made a short detour to the southern metal supergroup DOWN (also featuring PANTERA's Phil Anselmo and members of CROWBAR).

Thanks to a change in popular taste in favor of the ultra-heavy side of alternative metal which helped the band getting established, C.O.C. found a bigger fan base than ever before with the release of "Wiseblood" (1996), expanding their rock radio success even further. After a long break from recording and a tour with METALLICA, C.O.C. came back in autumn 2000 with a new album entitled "America's Volume Dealer". Another break followed, and the band came back in April 2005 for the harsh and complex "In the Arms of God". C.O.C. had another break (members were involved in several side projects) until 2010, when drummer Reed Mullin rejoined the band, reviving the lineup of "Animosity" while Pepper Keenan stayed with his other band DOWN. The remaining trio started to work on new material and released the eponymous eighth record "Corrosion of Conformity" in 2012. Their ninth album, wisely named IX, came out in 2014.

In 2018, CORROSION OF CONFORMITY returned with No Cross No Crown - featuring the return of the legendary Deliverance and Wiseblood era line-up of Keenan, Weatherman, Dean, and Mullin. The album received both critical and fan acclaim and charted at #67 on the Billboard Top 200 (their fifth album to chart in the Top 200) . In 2020, tragedy struck the band as Reed Mullin passed away. Keenan, Weatherman, and Dean would continue on.

In 2024, Mike Dean decided to part ways with the band. Upon his departure, Keenan and Weatherman announced their promise to keep the COC legacy moving forward with a new album in 2026 and an active return to touring.

JD Pinkus (Rock)

JD Pinkus is an American bassist best known for his work with American punk band Butthole Surfers from1985 to 1994 and since the 2009 reunion. In 1990, he and Butthole Surfers' lead vocalist Gibby Haynes released Digital Dump, the only album from their psychedelic house music side project The Jackofficers. Upon leaving Butthole Surfers, Pinkus worked full-time with the Austin trio Daddy Longhead, which he had assembled during his waning months in the band, and which included longtime Atlanta associate Jimbo Young on guitar and Rey Washam on drums. Daddy Longhead retired after 10 years, leaving Pinkus free to explore other projects including Skinny Leonard and Areola 51. Pinkus played with Helios Creed on his albums NUGG The Transport [1996] and Activated Condition [1998], and has also collaborated with Bad Livers frontman Danny Barnes several times in a live setting. JD Pinkus then co-founded the band Honky who went on to record five albums and are still currently active. Pinkus also performs with Pure Luck,who released a self-titled release in 2017 on Heavy Feather Records. He leaves his bass to play Banjo and Guitar in this project. On their 30th anniversary tour in 2013, Pinkus joined the Melvins in place of Jared Warren (on paternity leave) as well as performing with the opening Honky. He subsequently joined the Melvins full-time, touring with them in 2014 in support of the album Hold It In, which also featured Butthole Surfers founder Paul Leary, and again in 2015. He also plays on the song Captain Come Down which was first released in 2015 on Chaos as Usual, a split release with Le Butcherettes, and later included on the 2016 album Basses Loaded. In 2018, JD Pinkus released a solo album, Keep on the Grass on cassette tape on Danny Barnes Minner Bucket Records and later Vinyl and Compact Disc through Heavy Feather Records. It was recorded entirely on banjo and features a rendition of the song Bride of Crankenstein from the Melvins album Hold It In. The Keep on the Grass album release show was with Sleep in San Pedro on September 15th 2018. On February 12, 2018, the Melvins announced that Pinkus would be joining them, alongside current bassist Steven McDonald (Redd Kross), on their next album and subsequent tour. Released on April 20, 2018, the aptly titled Pinkus Abortion Technician features both bass players and four songs written or co-written by Pinkus. In May of 2021 JD Pinkus and Daddy Longhead released another album titled Twinkle which was originally recorded but not distributed in 1998. JD Pinkus then released his second solo space grass banjo album titled Fungus Shui. The album was written, recorded, and mixed by Pinkus himself at Plastic Cannon Studio in Asheville, North Carolina. The album was mastered by Kramer. Fungus Shui LP's were released on Shimmy Disc and CD's available through Heavy Feather Records on August 20th 2021. A duo album with Tall Tall Trees called Ponder Machine was released June 20th 2023 on Shimmy Disc. The follow up solo album Grow A Pear was released on Shimmy Disc, June 20 2024 and was a combination of songs originally written for the Butthole Surfers album that was not to be and the other side is a continuation to the solo banjo releases but with friends joining in. Currently youll find JD Pinkus playing Solo or with his 3 Piece Combo called the JD Pinkus Triptych with Billy Sheeran on Piano and Richard Kirby on Cocktail Kit. The first Triptych record is currently being mixed as of October 2025 and a new unannounced as of yet project of past recording associates to be recorded in December of 2025... Shhhh..

Violent Vira – Our Lady of Sorrows Tour

Sun, 05 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Violent Vira (Alternative Rock) A girl abandoned by her lover is ostracized by the people of the small religious town she lives in for refusing to believe he fled the scene of a deadly crime. Following the last signal from his cell phone, she arrives at the location he was last pinned only to find yards of bloodstained caution tape wrapped around the trees and a chalk outline on the road. The unspoken horror before her fractures her sanity with unexpected grief. Desperate for answers, she returns to the scene in search of clues, only to be met by the silent gaze of a ghost standing in the corner of where it all took place. Will she come to terms with the reality of her abandonment, rooted in homicide, or will she let her mind be consumed by the illusion of a lover who will never leave?

Nightfall 2026 featuring Alicia Blue

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 23:00:00 +0000

opener: Blake Worthington

Alicia Blues path to music didnt follow a straight line. Born along the San Bernardino line in California and raised between Southern California and South Texas, she grew up between cultures, rhythms, and storiesmariachi on her dads stereo, West Coast soul in her headphones, and notebooks full of poetry in her backpack. Music wasnt the plan, but life had other ideas. A chance run-in with an aging soul singer changed everythinghe saw something in her, and she leaned in. The poems turned into songs, and the guitarbarely more than a few chords at the timebecame her tool for survival and connection...

COME EARLY AND SHOP HANDMADE ARTISAN GOODS, PURCHASE BEVERAGE TICKETS & GRAB SOMETHING YUMMY FROM THE FOOD TRUCKS DURING NIGHTFALL, BEGINNING AT 6:00PM.

MUSIC BEGINS AT 7PM.
