Thanks to construction snags, the opening of the latest addition to the reimagined Chattanooga Choo Choo entertainment complex has been pushed back a week.
Austin, Texas-based rock quartet The Band of Heathens was supposed to be the first artist to christen the stage at the Revelry Room, but both that show and Saturday’s scheduled performance by Athens, Ga.-based New Madrid have been shifted across the parking lot to Track 29.
The cost and schedule of each relocated concert will remain the same. The only thing that has changed is the location.
“Construction is just not completed enough to have a show,” says Monica Maples Kinsey, general manager of Revelry Room and Track 29. “It’s not quite where we wanted it to be, but fortunately, we had another venue to move it to, because the show must go on.”
Band of Heathens most recently performed in Chattanooga during the Nightfall summer concert series. The band’s sound is an amalgamation of Southern sounds, mixing in traces of everything from Muscle Shoals soul to Florida Panhandle swamp rock.
