Distributors

Chattanooga based Hot Damn features swagger-infused  female vocals,  original compositions , unique harmonies,  and an ‘in the pocket’  rhythm section. They produce an original sound, that can only be described as “the kind of folk music that makes you want to trash a bed and breakfast”.

No More People, was formed in Chattanooga with the sound of lethal doses of hard rock combined with a mixed bag of darkly seductive tunes and some booty bumping grooves guaranteed to intensify whatever mood you’re feeling.

As with all Rhizome Productions events we like to give back to the local communities that we host events in.  To date, we have donated over $90,000 to various charitable organizations.

For CCBF we will be donating 25% of net ticket sale proceeds to two charities.
