Kaki King w/Lady Lamb The Beekeeper @ The High Watt Tonight
Kaki King would never refer to herself as a guitar god. In fact, she considers herself a lifelong guitar student as she is always challenging herself to play something new and different on the guitar. Yet, that was how she was labeled when she first began her musical career. It’s a term that certainly makes some sense, at least…

Machines Are People Too, Brandon Jazz & His Armed Forces, Sol Cat, and VanCo Tonight @ The High Watt
What’s in a name? I usually avoid the dissection of a band name. If it sounds good, it just fits and I use it without thinking about it. But this time, I had to go a few steps further. I heard the name Machines Are People Too (MRP2) through conversations of Chattanooga music lore, especially MRP2’s dance-till-you-drop…
