Many Chattanoogans seek out live music for a fun, communal experience that is superior to listening to a song on the radio or hearing a playlist at a party, restaurateur Scottie Bowman says.
The Big Chill and Grill, which has been hosting brunch since 2014, is one of the many bars and restaurants around the greater Chattanooga area fusing local musicians and brunch festivities on the weekends.
People who love brunch, music or both pack into The Big Chill every other Sunday to enjoy artists such as Chad Yates, drink daiquiris and indulge in Monte Cristos, chicken fried steak, Eggs Benedict and shrimp and grits, owner Bowman says.
“I have an amazing group of friends,” she says. “We look for the live music, and I think a lot of people are that way. I think it really does bring people together.”
