The songs on Blackberry Smoke’s sixth album, Like an Arrow, due October14, show just how far this authentic American rock band has come as the accomplished group of musicians tacklesa diverse set of new ideas, sounds and territories, long after most bands with half the success might have settled into a well-worn groove.“We’re all likeminded in that we all want to explore,” singer and principal songwriter Charlie Starr said. “There’s just no way we could make the same record over and over again, though there are some fans who would like us to. That’s just way too formulaic. If the Beatles or Led Zeppelin did that, we wouldn’t love them as much.”

Jonny Lang Live at Walker Theatre
399 McCallie Avenue Inside Memorial Auditorium
Chattanooga, TN 37402
Location: Walker Theatre
It is hard to believe that at 36 years old Jonny Lang has already had a successful career for two decades. Easier to believe when you learn he released his first platinum record at 15 -- an age when many young people are just beginning to play music. Lie to Me revealed a talent that transcended the crop of blues prodigies floating around in the late Nineties. No flashy re-hasher of classic blues licks, even at that early age Lang was a full-blown artist with a style of his own.

It’s intended to be a confidence building experience for folks working on communicating in the rich language of jazz music. the MJJ will be at 3 pm on the last Sunday of every month (except December). The jam is to some extent modeled on the long-running program at the Nashville Jazz Workshop, and special thanks go to David Schwab and Sharon Dunn for spearheading our Chattanooga effort.
