Upcoming Events At The Legs
Wesley Chi’s Original Staged Play: Concrete
January 22nd, 23rd, 24th Times TBA
*Mature Audiences Only*
Concrete is an original psychological drama exploring corporate alienation and identity loss. Written and directed by Wesley Chi, this 90-minute play follows a construction worker whose promotion leads him into an increasingly surreal corporate nightmare. The production features a cast of 8 local high school actors and deals with mature themes including mental health struggles and toxic work environments. The play is suitable only for mature audiences (comparable to R-rated content due to strong language and psychological themes).
Dubbed one of Chattanooga's best kept secrets, the Monday Nite Big Band has been playing big band jazz music in Chattanooga for over 40 years. The band was founded by pianist and band leader Paul Lohorn and saxophonist Ed Leamon.
The band's monthly "First Mondays at Barking Legs" have become an institution, featuring the power of 17 instrumentalists, plus the exquisite vocals of Paige Denton. Experience the power, straight up!
John Cowan, hailed as the Voice of Newgrass, has been singing his heart out for more than forty years and his soaring vocals have only improved with time. A true innovator, Cowan applies his powerful pipes to genres from country, bluegrass, and gospel to soul, jazz, and rock – often within the space of a single concert. His ability to move fluidly through multiple styles, and carry mesmerized audiences on the journey with him, has set him apart as one of the most loved and admired vocal artists of his generation, not just by fans and critics but among fellow musicians as well.
Luke Bulla has been singing and playing music most of his life. Luke has played fiddle and recorded with Ricky Skaggs, Lyle Lovett, Brandi Carlile, Alison Krauss, Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush, Edgar Meyer, Bela Fleck, Bryan Sutton, Kevin Costner & Modern West, Shawn Colvin, Tony Rice, Chris Thile, and Earl Scruggs, to name a few.
