Barking Legs Theater is a superb little concert hall and has established a reputation as a great place for musicians and listeners alike! We are now known throughout the Southeast as a venue with great acoustics and remarkable intimacy. Barking Legs is a listener’s dream, where each note and word rings clearly, promoting the sort of rapt attention impossible in the typical club or barroom setting. Performers love it! Our 80 fixed seats all have great sight lines, and we can accommodate overflow crowds up to 175.


Flying Fingers Productions continues presenting some of the world’s finest acoustic musicians at Barking Legs! The usual focus of FFP shows is bluegrass, old time and beyond. We aim to present two or three shows monthly, September through May. 

In collaboration with the Shaking Ray Levi Society, CoPAC has helped bring some amazing “experimental, improvisational and out there” music to Chattanooga. ROVA Saxophone Quartet, Amy Denio, Davey Williams, LaDonna Smith, Eugene Chadbourne and the Shaking Ray Levis (Dennis Palmer and Bob Stagner) have performed ear-and-mind-stretching music at Barking Legs. Eugene’s CD Insect Attracter features recordings from his BLT show!

Why not consider becoming a producer yourself? The theater can be rented, and your dream show is in your own hands… Or consider a tax-deductible contribution to CoPAC earmarked for “artists’ fees”. We guarantee your full gift will be used to bring bigger and better artists to Barking Legs! Lastly, suggestions in keeping with our formats are always welcome, particularly if you are willing to help with production, either financially or through facilitation, promotion, or sweat equity. Call your ideas to BLT! 423-624-LEGS (5347)
