Nightfall is where the energy is on Friday nights in Chattanooga and this Friday features the southern rock music of headliner Holy Roller, along with the return of Chattanooga’s fun-lovin’ southern blues rock band Marlow Drive opening the show at Miller Plaza in downtown Chattanooga.
Headliner Holy Roller from Richmond, VA, will take the stage at 8pm. This group may well be the new face of southern rock, as they have been dominating the East coast, selling out nearly every venue over the past year and were festival favorites at Bristol Rhythm & Roots and Red Wing. Holy Roller is a harmony-driven Americana and roots rock band known for their blend of rock, country twang and soul.
Their sophomore album, “Good Religion, includes some seriously riff-heavy, yet deeply intimate songs that are best enjoyed loud. Formed out of the ashes of Big Mama Shakes, the band’s remaining members have pivoted into a new, more harmony-heavy and country-tinged direction, building a loyal following with their rich vocal interplay and vivid lyrics.
Starting the musical entertainment at 7pm is Marlow Drive. Led by vocalist and guitarist Chip Abels, this popular Chattanooga group is making music again after a seven-year hiatus. Now back together and never missing a beat, this four-piece band will perform their signature blend of southern rock blues and soul-soaked songwriting for Nightfall’s audience…
