Being the first band to take the stage at a venue may seem like a high-pressure gig to some people, but Marty Bohannon said The Bohannons’ show tonight at The Honest Pint should be smooth sailing.
“I’ve got such history in the room,” Bohannon said of the thoroughly renovated, Irish pub-style replacement of Parkway Billiards that opened earlier this month. “It’s got a great vibe.
“I think it’s one of the best places to see a show in Chattanooga. We’re going to put on a big show this year. “
New Year’s Eve celebrations are nothing new to Bohannon, who said his band’s double bill at the Honest Pint with Jason Isbell will mark his 10th season promoting shows in Chattanooga.
The Bohannons first started performing with Isbell when he was still a lead guitarist for the Southern gothic rock band The Drive-By Truckers. Isbell has since split from the Truckers, but whenever he performs locally with his new band, The 400 Unit, Bohannon said his band is invited on the bill.
