Based out of Montgomery, AL Blue Yonder has carved one of the most distinctive musical identities in the capital city, combining Americana, folk, Ameripolitan, and parlor in a way that’s both haunting and exhilarating, capturing the mood of what critic Greil Marcus once called “that old, weird America.” Listen to their debut EP featuring some of their most rooted tracks; a 5 song grouping that shows a glimpse into their beginnings with hints of the direction

Join us for Concerts on the Dock with Adron! Named Best Songwriter of 2012 by the Atlanta-based arts and culture magazine Creative Loafing, Adron is rapidly being recognized as one of the most uniquely gifted songwriters and vocalists of this generation. She has managed to unite audiences from wildly far-flung backgrounds, age groups, and subcultures with her universally communicative and infectious music. In a style nearly impossible to describe using the terms of conventional genres, she playfully blends Brazilian samba, bossa nova, and Tropicália with the sincerity and thoughtfulness of singer-songwriters like Joni Mitchell and Harry Nilsson, and the full-bodied rhythms of 1970’s pop and r&b. Be on the lookout for her upcoming album “Water Music.”
“Born as it is out of a true love for tradition, Adron’s inclusion of world music elements never feels trite or tacked on; her music is as warm and spirited as the cultures that have inspired it.” -Flagpole, Athens, GAthe band is heading.

Jon Stickley Trio is a genre-defying and cinematic instrumental trio, who’s deep grooves, innovative flatpicking, and sultry-spacy violin moves the listener’s head, heart, and feet. “It’s not your father’s acoustic-guitar music—Instead, Stickley’s Martin churns out a mixture of bluegrass, Chuck Berry, metal, prog, grunge, and assorted other genres—all thoroughly integrated into a personal style,” writes Guitar Player Magazine.
West Coast style swing dance every Tuesday night at the Flying Monkey Theatre at Lowe Mill A&E. Come out for beginner lessons at 7:00 PM to learn the basics, then stick around for open dance at 8:00 PM to show off your moves.
Robin Grant is a jazz songstress based in Chattanooga. Classically trained, she was mentored by Ella Fitzgerald’s bass player and delivers edgy jazz that sizzles and has proven relevant to audiences of all ages. Robin and her band, the Standard, perform jazz standards and originals from her album, “Good Girl” which debuted last summer at #4 on iTunes jazz charts. Performances also showcase songs from the upcoming album. This is smooth jazz, chic and sophisticated, an echo of a bygone era when music as art reached a high water mark.

Join us for Concerts on the Dock with the Dawn Osborne Band! Their smooth and rich sound is rooted in Jazz, Soul, Folk, and Funk mixed skillfully into what can only be described as true Americana.

A summer of wonder and enchantment awaits; prepare to be inspired by nature!
After enduring family tragedies, young cousins Elsie (Florence Hoath) and Frances (Elizabeth Earl) spend time in rural Yorkshire, England, where they see fairies in a nearby meadow. They then snap pictures of the fairies, which suddenly gain international notoriety. Author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Peter O'Toole) announces he's a believer. Magician Harry Houdini (Harvey Keitel), however, is a skeptic. Both join a media circus to see if the pictures indeed are genuine and if fairies are real.
Tickets includes lunch, movie and activities, including building fairy gardens in the Enchanted Forest!
