Rachel McIntyre Smith is a talented, young, emerging singer-songwriter who came to Chattanooga to study at UTC. While interning at Songbirds, she found that not only did she like making music, she was good at it, and that people liked her work.
So after graduating, she decided to stick around to give music a chance.
Smith also likes cats, and on Valentine’s Day, she will kick off a five-state tour that combines her two interests.
During her Kitten Coma Tour, she will perform at various cat cafes, which are places where people pay a cover charge to watch and play with cats. She will sell merchandise related to her song, “The Kitten Song,” with all proceeds from those sales going to animal rescue organizations. You can watch Smith sing that song and others at https://youtu.be/SFaivFf_fWM.
The tour kicks off at 6:30 p.m. at the Naughty Cat Cafe, 3742 Tennessee Ave. in St. Elmo.
