Campfire Concert at Reflection Riding - Nicholas Edward Williams & Friends

Join us for a campfire concert listening to Nicholas Edward Williams & Friends under the stars!

Reflection Riding’s Campfire Concert series, sponsored by Hutton and Smith Brewery, OCI, and the Tennessee Arts Commission, provides a fun outdoor venue to enjoy some of the best artists the Chattanooga area has to offer. Join us on Friday, November 3rd for a night of s’mores, beer, and free burgers (thanks to Tremont Tavern!) while listening to Nicholas Edward Williams & Friends under the stars.

Nicholas Edward Williams is host of the popular roots music history podcast American Songcatcher and a multi-instrumentalist and storyteller who is dedicated to "playing it forward" by preserving the songs and styles that have shaped our country: ragtime, Piedmont blues, traditional folk, old time and early country.

Williams has spent the last 15 years touring three continents, performing all around the US, as well as the UK, Western Europe and Australia, blending the roots music spectrum in his own style. Under his previous project, Whetherman, Williams independently released eight revered records from 2007-2018. Under his own name, his critically acclaimed sophomore release from late 2021, Folk Songs For Old Times' Sake has been heralded by well-regarded figures of the roots community such as David Holt, Oliver Wood, Dom Flemons, and JP Harris. Joining him at Reflection Riding is Emma Dubose (fiddle / harmony), Cody Ray (lap steel / guitar / harmony) and John Benjamin Davis (mandolin).
