“Blending the cool blues-rock of acts like The Black Keys and North Mississippi Allstars with a Memphis soul sound. . .” Glide Magazine

Tony Holiday has been at the center of a Memphis soul blues revival anchored by a contingent of young, savvy, well-schooled musicians who have a “family-like” attitude and a strong belief in one another. Over the past couple of years, Holiday and his talented young band have been touring hard, taking spells in between to write and record with Producer Eric Corne in Memphis and Los Angeles. The result is Keep Your Head Up, an album that covers a tremendous amount of territory over eight pithy tracks. It features a nice array of special guests including Eddie 9V, Kevin Burt, Albert Castiglia and Laura Chavez, last year’s Blues Music Award winner for ‘Guitarist of the Year’.

Throughout the record Holiday demonstrates an impressive command of styles, moving fluidly through Texas, Chicago and hill country Blues with plenty of Memphis soul and even a touch of Afrobeat. He also shows why he’s one of the finest harmonica players on the scene today, despite electing not to play the instrument on over half the songs on the album.

“There’s something in the water in Memphis, and Tony Holiday has tapped into it to contribute to an exciting new chapter unfolding in this storied region.” – Blues Town Music.

To celebrate International Blues Day Jhett Black will be bringing special guests to the stage to capture the improvisational nature and soul of the blues.

The Woodshop | Listening Room

We are a music venue, listening room and neighborhood bar in Chattanooga known for its intimate, musical and cultural experiences. It began as a DIY music venue project back in 2015 by Daniel Pate Russell. He and many others spent a few years redesigning and remodeling an old woodworking shop with the goal of hosting musical performances. Frequent trips to Ace Hardware down the street for supplies, he met his wife and co-founder, Tyler Rozzell. Shortly after, they met Dylan Hackett, a neighbor who had been hosting underground house shows. In 2019, they opened as a bar to keep the live music alive. The Woodshop has undoubtedly matured into one of Chattanooga’s most beloved destinations. BOOK TWO The legacy of The Woodshop is continued by new owners, husband and wife, Jhett Black and Callie Sioux. Jhett and Callie Sioux are musicians, creatives, and have worked a plethora of jobs in and out of the music industry. It’s been a long and winding road of touring and hard work, but their incessant creative energy has finally found a home apart from the road. A space to serve their local community and the others out there still pounding the pavement. The Woodshop continues to host concerts, community events, and be a home to musicians and locals alike. Since opening as a bar in the midst of 2020’s shuttering, we’ve developed into a venue-style neighborhood bar that curates a homelike feeling for anyone who walks inside. Live music is in our DNA, but we’re also known for our cozy seasonal food and craft drinks menu. Between finger-licking BBQ and arguably the best local craft beer and spirits we can find, what we’ve created is a surprisingly wide selection of goods that keeps your heart warm and happy. We promise you’ll remember coming here.
