On Thursday August 8th, the show will feature acclaimed jazz and neo soul singer Julie Dexter.

Born and raised in Birmingham, England, this classically trained artist composes and arranges her own music. Influenced by legends such as Nancy Wilson, Abbey Lincoln, and Bob Marley, as well as popular icons Omar and Sade, Julie takes classic soul to the heart of Artistry.

Fans and critics across the globe have followed her journey through the circles of Jazz, Broken-Beat, Bossa-Nova, Reggae, Afro-Beat and Soul and she was recently honored at the Black Women in Jazz Awards with the Afro Caribbean Soul of Jazz Award.

Her groundbreaking 2002 album, Song For A New Day, marked a turning point in her career. Collaborating with esteemed musicians like Victor, Joseph, and Regi Wooten, alongside the legendary Oteil Burbridge, the album showcased Lisa's exceptional talent and innovative approach to jazz guitar. Lisa's commitment to nurturing musical talent is apparent in her role as a teacher of jazz guitar, as well as serving as a Music Professor at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Lisa’s impact extends beyond her expertise in technical abilities, songcraft and music production. Her live performances challenge stereotypes and redefine the perception of jazz guitar.

Nightfall Jazz Cafe- Special Guest Annie Sellick

The Granfalloon announces a new series of Thursday evening jazz shows called the “Nightfall Jazz Café,” featuring Lisa Anita Baker’s house band with a regional guest artist headliner. 

Annie Sellick, voted “Best Jazz Artist” by readers of the “Nashville Scene” five years in a row, will be the featured performer on Thursday, July 25, for the Granfalloon’s “Nightfall Jazz Café.” This is part of a new series of Thursday evening jazz shows featuring Lisa Anita Baker’s house band with a regional guest artist headliner. Doors open at 6:30pm, and the show is from 7:30-9:30pm.

Annie Sellick, known for her engaging stage presence, has mingled with jazz royalty since her musical beginning in Murfreesboro, TN. She was the resident vocalist for the Nashville Jazz Orchestra for 11 years, and sang for a sold out crowd with the Nashville symphony.  She also makes regular appearances in Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles, Montreal, Germany and Japan as well as making guest appearances with big bands and trios around the U.S.  

She's toured with Mark O'Connor's Hot Swing, recorded albums and performed with jazz luminaries Joey DeFrancesco, Gerald Clayton, the Jeff Hamilton Trio, Akira Tana and Tommy Emmanuel, with whom she is the featured performer for his Christmas Classics album and tours.  You might have seen her perform with her six-piece swing band Annie and the Hot Club or sing with her husband and guitarist Pat Bergeson while accompanying herself in the duo with body-percussion. During the performance break in 2020, she picked up electric bass and has since explored new music, fronting a funk cover band on bass and vocals and also producing dance music on her computer, and yet she loves performing her twist on jazz standards and expressing herself in the way she feels most at home.

Lisa Anita’s House Band is the consistent band featured at the Nightfall Jazz Café shows, and accompanies the featured artist each week. The band consists of Lisa Anita Baker on electric guitar, Andre Manga on bass, and Yakou Daniels, percussionist.

He became a crowd favorite as a Top Nine contestant on the most recent season of “The Voice,” with his unique vocal abilities and entertaining stage presence. BIAS was the only semi-finalist on Gwen Stefani’s team. His “Last Chance” performance of Vince Gill’s “Go Rest High on That Mountain” has received also a quarter million views.

His Chattanooga roots go back to playing as a four-piece band at church here. BIAS' father is a worship leader and auditioned to be a worship pastor at a church in Chattanooga. It was then, at age 15, that BIAS met the pastor's daughter, Karley, and eventually they married. Now, after following in his father's footsteps, BIAS is starting his own path in music.

Doors open at 7pm, and a full bar will be available. This is an all ages show.

Admisson is $10, available for purchase at granfalloonchattanooga.com or at the door.

Halloween with Improv Chattanooga at The Granfalloon

Halloween with Improv Chattanooga at The Granfalloon

Boo! Improv Chattanooga returns to The Granfalloon for a Special Halloween show! Complete with special ticket pricing for anyone in costume... Just $10 at the door! ($15 if you don't feel like dressing up.)

Just like always, we'll take audience suggestions, call up volunteers, and get random submissions to play a bunch of Improv games.

For each one of these Short Form games, we get a suggestion from the audience and use it to create a scene. The catch? Each game has one or more rules that make the scenes hard for the actors, and hilarious for the audience.

For example:

New Choice - Actors start their scene, but whenever the bell rings, they have to back up and redo the last thing they just said or did.

Family Dinner - We get someone from the audience and they cast the actors as family members that they would normally have dinner with. The audience member rings a bell when an actor does something in character, and honks a horn when they do something out of character. (Yeah, it’s complicated, but hilarious.)

ABC - Think you know your alphabet? Our actors usually don’t! In this game, each line of the scene has to start with the next letter of the alphabet. (It’s a lot harder than it sounds.)

Fill In The Blanks - Before the show, we have the audience write words and phrases on slips of paper. During this game, the actors open those slips and read what’s on them into the scene. Once it’s a part of the scene, the actors have to make it make sense.

Moving People - Our actors perform a scene, but YOU join us on stage to make the actors move throughout the scene!

Trust us, if you’ve only experienced Improv on the small screen with “Whose Line,” you’ll love it live and in person! Plus, you get to do it in the fantastic space that is The Granfalloon!
