Returning for another season on September 4, Noontunes will feature local musicians every week from 12pm - 1pm.
Closing out our 2025 Noontunes season are The ChattanooGuys, comprised of Delta blues musician Lon Eldridge, virtuoso Appalachian dulcimer player Butch Ross, and John Prine-inspired singer/songwriter Richard Daigle. The ChattanooGuys bring smiles to faces with original songs about a monkey and his victrola or a getaway by becoming a squirrel for a day or an instrumental of Stairway to Heaven which leaves an audience saying "I didn't think you could do that with a dulcimer." The New Orleans-born Daigle had the idea for this road trip so he could export the richness and diversity of Chattanooga music and enjoy a po-boy or two and some boiled crawfish on the Gulf Coast. This is the inaugural tour for the group.
Hosted in partnership with the City of Chattanooga Parks & Outdoors and the City of Chattanooga Office of Arts, Culture and Creative Economy, Noontunes offers residents, employees and neighbors an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, games, food trucks and much more as a part of the new series, “Take a Break”.
In addition to seeing the concerts in person, shows are later aired on WUTC 88.1FM.
Noontunes has been held since 2016 and features Chattanooga area based musicians. The program has supported over 50 musicians and invested $20,000+ in Chattanooga's local music economy.
2025 Sponsors include City of Chattanooga Parks & Outdoors, Tennessee Arts Commission, EPB, First Horizon Bank and Tennessee American Water.
