ArtFRONT Artists' Presentations opens its downtown Chattanooga concert series

     Utilizing the excellent 800 plus capacity, concert & performance space upstairs at 412 Market St., which has up until now been used exclusively by Fathom Liquid Arts. ArtFRONT will be sponsoring & promoting concerts, Sunday through Thursday nights by artists from all musical styles, from rock to punk, country, pop, indie & experimental. ArtFRONT will be inviting high quality bands & performers to perform in this excellent large capacity venue, looking to bring in up and coming artists who normally would pass by Chattanooga on their tour due to a previous lack of a venue with this large capacity. These shows will also be an excellent way to expose local Chattanooga bands to a broader audience.
      This venue is a music showcase with the focus on performances, rather than a barroom type experience. ArtFRONT will be able to bring audiences of all ages into this large performance space to see some of the more dynamic touring acts which are on the verge of breaking into the bigger concert & recording arenas. For those who would like to partake in a drink or sample a variety of restaurant fare beforeor after a show, or during breaks, there are several bars and restaurants directly across the street and adjacent to the venue. The Big Chill and Buck Wild, Both directly across the street, will offer discount drink specials to patrons of The ArtFRONT Concert series at Fathom on nights when there are performances. In addition "Sticky Fingers" barbeque will be providing food specials and Greyfriars Coffee & Lupi's Pizza are all within one block of the concert hall.
     The restrictive 21 & up laws and thick clouds of cigarette smoke have been keeping a large portion of the music loving community away from the barroom type establishments which have been the only choice to see the majority of the live acts coming to town. For these concerts all smoking will be outside. Rather than compete with the bars we would like to be able to share these acts with other venues which cater exclusively to the 21 & over party crowd that is in full swing in downtown Chattanooga and other cities in the region. Hopefully, we will be able to double book some artists in these other venues as well, ideally matching each artist with the local venue most appropriate for their style of music and audience.
      Future plans include a new Market Street Entrance makeover, including solo and acoustic acts playing just inside the entrance to the venue which is across the street from Panera Bread on Market St.
