Bekka Bramlett Plays At Nightfall Friday
posted May 30, 2011

The Nightfall Concert on Friday will feature a headline show by Bekka Bramlett. The opening act is Sweet & Lowdown.

These free shows, presented by Chattanooga Presents, are held each Friday on the River City Stage at Miller Plaza through Sept. 9. Beer, wine, food and non-alcoholic drink concessions are available on site. No outside food or beverages are allowed.

Review for Bekka Bramlett:
Bekka Bramlett is a former member of the band Fleetwood Mac. Bekka has also sung backup for many other artists including Kenny Rogers, Rita Coolidge, Bad Company, Richie Sambora, Billy Joel, Vince Gill, and Jonny Lang. Even though Bekka has been offered record deals over the years, she has chosen the independent route to release her material.

Her 2003 solo CD called "What’s In It For Me" was privately pressed and sold only at Nashville area shows, the annual Delbert McClinton Carribean cruise she has frequented, and on her official website.

Bekka continues to build up an impressive list of high profile artists she has worked with and solo work that she is proud of -- including her latest, the 10-track CD "I Got News For You" from 2009.

Bekka remains humble though, referring to the new release as "nothing special" and "just a bunch of demos."

Review for Sweet & Lowdown:
Nightfall will keep its commitment to the local arts community by featuring Chattanooga musicians for each opening act, beginning at 7 p.m. This week’s opener, Sweet & Lowdown plays timeless music with spectacular vocals by lead Shani Hedden and tasteful instrumentation that will put a smile on your face and get your heels tappin'.

Corporate sponsors for this year’s series are River City Company, Bud Light, Fletcher Bright Company, Kelly Cars, Coca-Cola Bottling Co, Warehouse Row, Chattanooga Choo Choo, Big River Grille & Brewing Works, Costco Wholesale, UTC, Southern Honda Powersports, Walden Security, The Pulse, Fox 61 and NPR/Music 88.1.
