Lily Rose

Thu, 03 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Lily Rose (Country) has never been one to second-guess herself. After her breakout 2020 viral hit Villain was released, the Atlanta native went from local favorite to national name practically overnight landing a record deal, joining tours with Sam Hunt, Luke Bryan and Shania Twain, national TV performances and racking up accolades including an ACM Best New Female Artist nomination and GLAADs Outstanding Breakthrough Artist Award. But even with the momentum, Lily was still searching not for success, but for clarity.

That clarity defines her next chapter in I Know What I Want, her long-awaited full-length debut released Oct 2025. Capturing a new era of creative freedom and blending country, pop and hip-hop influences, Lily is stepping fully into a sound thats unmistakably her own. Named an artist to watch by CMT, MusicRow, Amazon and more, she continues to carve out a path rooted in bold storytelling, powerful vocals, dynamic stage presence and a deep connection to a rapidly growing fanbase who see themselves in her songs.

The Brook & The Bluff – The Werewolf Tour

Sun, 06 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Brook & The Bluff (Folk Rock) return to their rock & roll roots with Werewolf - a high-voltage, live-inspired album that turns up the amps, pushes the tempo, and howls in four-part harmony. Fueled by the sharp songwriting and stacked vocals that have defined their catalog, the collection captures the raw, supercharged energy of the bands concerts.

After nearly a decade of nonstop touring - earning hundreds of millions of streams with fan favorites like Halfway Up and Everything Is Just a Mess - the band regrouped in Nashville, meeting every morning to write and rehearse like their early days in Birmingham, Alabama. Life unfolded in the background: weddings, divorces, real-world growing pains. Inside the room, it was all music.

The band channels the swamp rock spirit of legendary artists like Creedence, Petty, and The Eagles, delivering loud, melodic, deeply human songs like lead single Super Bowl Sunday - a crashing, introspective anthem about ego and emotional blind spots. The goal was to treat the record like a live set, says frontman Joseph Settine. And thats exactly what theyve done.

Armed with a new album and an unflinching spirit, The Brook & The Bluff are ready to hit the road again to continue their 2026 Werewolf tour. The band boasts a history of sold out headline tours across the continent, a number of major festival performances, and have supported artists like Noah Kahan, Mt. Joy, The Avett Brothers, Ashe, and Rainbow Kitten Surprise.

Also featuring:

The Sways (Folk Rock)

The Sways are an indie folk-rock trio from Northern Arizona, made up of multi-instrumentalists Kyle Miller, Andrew Tyler, and Adam Bruce. Rooted in friendship, fatherhood, and a shared love of life, the band writes, produces, and performs everything together. Blending the warmth of classic folk-rock with modern, atmospheric production, The Sways create music built on rich harmonies, organic instrumentation, and honest storytelling. At their core, The Sways are simply three grateful guys making music they love and sharing it with the world.

CupcakKe – 18+

Mon, 07 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Bold and outspoken Chicago rapper CupcakKe (Jazz-Rap) has achieved viral success and critical acclaim with her brazen, unapologetically explicit songs and videos that channeled the likes of Lil Kim, Foxy Brown, and Gangsta Boo. Her work explores sexuality in graphic detail, and while many of her songs are humorous and playful, she has more serious, introspective material that deals with sexual abuse ("Pedophile"), racial issues ("Picking Cotton"), and LGBTQ empowerment ("Crayons"). She debuted in 2016 with a pair of raunchy EPs and a full-length, Audacious, following with the critically acclaimed Queen Elizabitch (2017) and Ephorize (2018).

Elizabeth Eden Harris was born in Chicago in 1997. At the age of 14, she began writing religious-themed poetry, performing in local churches. She started turning her poems into raps and uploading them to YouTube, receiving thousands of views. In late 2015, inspired by Khia's hit "My Neck, My Back," she decided to write sexually explicit material. The videos "Vagina" and "Deepthroat" appeared and quickly spread on the Internet like wildfire. Both songs appeared on her debut mixtape, Cum Cake, in February 2016. S.T.D (Shelters to Deltas), named for Harris' years spent in homeless shelters, followed in June, and the studio album Audacious arrived in October. The releases received praise from Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, MTV News, and numerous hip-hop websites.

Harris guested on Charli XCX's song "Lipgloss," which appeared on her March 2017 mixtape, Number 1 Angel. CupcakKe's second studio album, Queen Elizabitch, appeared soon after, and the rapper toured North America twice during the year, in addition to releasing two subsequent singles, "Exit" and "Cartoons." Both songs appeared on her third studio album, Ephorize, which dropped near the beginning of 2018. The set peaked at number two on the Heatseekers chart, while landing in the Top 20 of the Billboard Independent Albums chart. Months later, she issued her fourth full-length, Eden, featuring the singles "Quiz" and "Blackjack." CupcakKe closed her decade with a flood of singles in 2019, including the size-obsessed viral hit, "Squidward Nose." The following year, she reached a career high with the single "Discounts," which topped streaming charts and rose into the Top Ten of the Billboard Digital Songs chart. ~ Paul Simpson, Rovi

Chattanooga Ballet Presents: ART / Bridges

Tue, 08 Sep 2026 23:00:00 +0000

Chattanooga Ballet is proud to showcase its world-class company in their first performance of the season, "ART / Bridges", featuring works by nationally renowned choreographers Kara Wilkes, Jamorris Rivers, and Chattanooga Ballets CEO/Artistic Director, Brian McSween.

ART / Bridges is perfect for both seasoned and new ballet audiences alike, exhibiting through a wide range of movement styles and storytelling through dance just how varied ballet experiences can be. These works will bridge classical ballet with contemporary ballet; bridge the expected to the unexpected; and create a bridge to the real real bodies, real emotions, and real relations from diverse experiences.

Two of these works explore the theme of technology and relationships, but from different angles. Wilkes ballet examines technologys effect on relationships and how we return to real connections, while Rivers explores what it is like to experience the tension of living in a digital age. McSweens ballet, titled "Opus 25", captures the feelings of community and the unique perspective the city associates with our beloved Walnut Street Bridge. This piece features a live accompaniment by the Chattanooga Symphony.

ART / Bridges opening night performance on October 8 will be followed by a talk-back with all three choreographers! There is no better time to get away from the artificial and be inspired by the artistic.

Tickets for performances, October 8 10 at UTC Fine Arts Center, can be found here:

Niko Moon – Back To My Roots Tour

Wed, 09 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Niko Moon Country When Niko Moon first emerged with his triple-platinum smash GOOD TIME, the Texas-born singer/songwriter lit up the country scene with his larger-than-life energy and heartfelt message of radical positivity. On his latest LP AMERICAN PALM, the Nashville-based artist takes that mission to a whole new level and immerses the audience in the idyllic landscape that never fails to lift his spirits: the sun-soaked serenity and mind-blowing splendor of the beach.

A top-notch lyricist who got his start as a co-writer for the Zac Brown Band and later penned hits for superstars like Morgan Wallen and Rascal Flatts, Niko matches his feel-good fusion of country and timeless pop with plenty of colorful storytelling, instantly submerging the senses in the blissed-out surroundings of the coast. Made with producer Danny Majic (an L.A.-based producer/songwriter whos worked with OneRepublic, Flo Rida, Galantis, and more), the result is a seaside getaway in the form of an albumequal parts carefree, contemplative, and wildly life-affirming.

Whether hes delivering a summer-ready anthem like BOAT SONG or a gently swaying country tune like KING OF THE ISLAND (a duet with his father, Cris Cowan), Niko imbues every song on AMERICAN PALM with the deep intentionality hes embraced since GOOD TIME (a No. 1 single that served as the title track to his Billboard 200-charting 2021 debut album). Through the years Nikos sense of purpose has only gotten stronger, leading him to launch the Happy Cowboy Foundation (a nonprofit that supports mental-health initiatives and addiction-recovery programs) and Happy Himalayan (a premium artesian water brand infused with pink Himalayan sea salt).

As his reach continues to expand exponentially, Niko looks forward to taking AMERICAN PALM on the road and interacting up-close with his vast community of fans. Very few things can unite thousands and thousands of people from all walks of life, but music can, he says. Its an incredibly powerful energy, and as artists were able to utilize it for good or for bad. My goal is always to harness that energy to take people in a positive direction, and create an experience where we can all gather and connect and celebrate life together.

Also featuring:

Blake Proehl (Country)

North Carolina native, BLAKE PROEHL always had his sights set on the NFL, inspired by his father's legacy in the sport. However, in 2021, while playing for the Minnesota Vikings, he suffered a severe leg injury that changed the course of his life. During his recovery, Blake discovered a new passion for music, first teaching himself the guitar and then immersing himself in songwriting. What began as a therapeutic outlet blossomed into a profound love for music and eventually surpassed his football aspirations. After three seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, Blake made the bold decision to follow his heart and pursue a career in music, channeling his experiences and emotions into his art.
