Opening act ignites Nightfall
Dave Dykes and the Grateful Hearts, or Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers? This local band started the opening night of the 2011 Nightfall Concert Series in Downtown Chattanooga. Opening for the Los Angeles band, Dawes, Dave Dykes took the stage as if his songs were in the top 100 charts hits, and sounded even better than that.
Not a person in the crowd wasn’t clapping, up at the stage dancing, or tapping a foot to the beat of the drums, the overwhelming guitar solos, or the moving tone of Dave’s voice.
They certainly served the opening night of the Nightfall Concert Series well, and will continue to keep faces smiling and people inspired with their music.
