Some of the area’s finest blues artists will be jamming Saturday, Sept. 10, at Blues in the Knob.
Now in its eighth year, this free outdoor concert will take place from 5 to 10 p.m. at Orchard Knob Reservation, a Civil War historic site at the corner of Orchard Knob Avenue and Ivy Street.
In the lineup are Billy Hardwick: Zulu Speaks at 5 p.m., Drew Sterchi Blues Tribe at 6 p.m., Power Players Band at 7 p.m. and Deaconbluz at 8 p.m.
Rangers will be on hand to lead activities for children that focus on music during the Civil War and the rich history of the urban park.
The event is sponsored by the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, Friends of the Park and the Orchard Knob Neighborhood Watch Association. The community group intends the festival to be a means to recruit new members and to use the arts for the neighborhood’s social revitalization.
Lawn chairs or blankets are recommended for seating. Food and beverage vendors will be present. Pets and alcohol are prohibited.
