Letter from the editor
The calendar has grown to include even more venues and event types. That is what gives me the warm fuzzies. Keep it coming y’all!
I want to welcome Jim Tanner to the Livewire family. He is a talented writer who contributed the Diamond Dogs show review. You will be seeing more from Jim.
Doug Bales delivers another lovely piece, this time with a profile on Lillian. Their shows always draw a great crowd.
Lori Kyle finally got her some Larry’s. She has been looking for the truck to come around, and we get to read how it went.
It was surprising to me how many folks take vacations in July and August. Like shut it all down for weeks vacations. This is the first issue that Theater is missing from the calendar completely. Batteries are recharging for the fall season, which will be a busy one I’m sure.

LILLIAN New Wave in an Old World
The band Lillian defies definition in a lot of ways. Their sound is modern and also retrospective. They float through an atmosphere of thick mixes and songs that bring to mind groups like The Cure, The Church, Radiohead, Wire and New Order. But, they have a very original take on their songs that stem from their multiple influences and musical backgrounds.
Lillian’s music is heavy, but light. Determined and well thought out, but fun and danceable. The band has a sound that is a throw-back and a step forward all at the same time.
The group consists of three long-time friends that share what seems like a familial relationship with one another. Josh Boutwell on drums and vocals, Graham Courter on guitar, keyboards and vocals and Travis Knight on bass guitar and vocals. All three of them have played in and around Chattanooga for decades, in several different bands.
By: Douglas Bales
great, imaginative music in all of its forms, why pay money to see some bands copy-cat what already exists when you could be supporting groups that are real and dedicated artists?
Lillian was formed in 2018 and played their first show in 2019, just before everything was shut down by the covid pandemic. A lot of bands didn’t survive this planet-wide pause in live music, but this trio picked up right where they had left off.
Lillian’s eponymous EP (which was released in 2024) is a great reflection of where the band is headed. Not many people in the Chattanooga scene are making music like this group. It has a clean, tight sound that is something truly refreshing. You might recognize some influences, but you won’t hear any covers out of this group. Their songs are pushed by a driving rhythm section. Knight’s snappy bass-lines and Boutwell’s concise drum beats are layered with Courter’s artsy, ethereal guitar and keyboard sounds and all of it is capped off with expertly delivered vocals. Their recordings are sharp and professional and display the work of some true veterans and masters of their craft.
The entire band is very set on originality. The constant influx of “tribute” bands at local festivals and larger venues in the area is something that is a thorn in their sides, (as well as mine). With
Lillian sticks to their guns when it comes to music. They have no aspirations of grand tours or huge fame. They make music because that is what they do. Writing and playing is what they love, and it is apparent. The group all agree that their main goal is to make music that they want to hear themselves. If others like it, that’s great, but if not, that’s fine too. They make art for the sake of making art, and in my opinion, that is the purest form of vision that any artist can have. Simply put; they are not in it for fame or fortune. They are just three friends that love writing and recording and performing great tunes together.
Lillian delivers what every music fan wants. Good, honest, imaginative songs with great lyrics and infectious grooves. This band produces some true ear-worms that you won’t be able to shake out of your head. They describe what they do as “organic postpunk Gothic pop.” And I couldn’t agree more. Their records and shows capture all of the above and are proof of sheer dedication.
You can find their songs on Spotify and just about every other streaming platform, as well as a few very cool videos on YouTube.
The group is currently in the final stages of mixing a new full-length LP that should be available in the not-too-distant future, and clinging close to their beliefs, they are dodging any “big record deals” and putting it out on their own. The album was recorded at 2 Rabbit Studios by Daniel Nelson and promises to be something that will have lasting value in the world of music.
They play live at various local venues and festivals and are definitely a group worth hearing. Keep your eyes out and your ears to the ground. Put on your boogie shoes and go check out Lillian. You’ll be glad that you did.

Show Review
by Jim Tanner
DIAMOND DOGS
The subject of cover bands has caused angst in Chattanooga this year, with lots of online criticism of the Riverfront Nights concert series, which features a headline lineup composed exclusively of touring tribute acts. This lineup has caused more than a small amount of vitriol from local music fans on social media, and the subject was even called out on these pages in a recent column by Livewire’s resident curmudgeon Chuck Crowder.
Tribute acts can have a complicated relationship with music fans. Bands devoted to reproducing the hits of popular artists certainly draw crowds wanting to enjoy live music featuring songs they know and love, and the large crowds each Saturday at Riverfront Nights are evidence enough of the popularity of these shows.
However, the critics of these shows also make a good point about how cover bands can be detrimental to the local music scene. Tribute bands (particularly out-of-town touring acts) take opportunities from local musicians and limit the ability for new bands and new sounds to find an audience for original songs and new ideas.
Then there’s the Diamond Dogs, who took the stage at Songbirds on July 18 to take the concept of a tribute show in a different, delightfully weird and unexpected direction.
The Diamond Dogs are a local band devoted to the music of David Bowie. Formed in 2016, shortly after Bowie’s death, the band is made up of some of Chattanooga’s top local musicians. The band features Eric Scealf on vocals; Eric Young, on keyboard and rhythm guitar, Mike Courter on bass, Matt Courter (Mike’s son) on lead guitar, and Terry Montford on drums.
“We feel that choosing Bowie is more of an artistic appreciation than a tribute,” Mike Courter said in a recent conversation. “As an artist Bowie always expressed themes that were relevant to the realities of life and beyond.”
The Songbirds show was billed as “Stardust to Ashes: A Night of David Bowie.” For this show, the band played two Bowie albums in their entirety. They opened the show performing 1972’s “Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars” and after a short break (and full wardrobe change) the band performed “Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps).” which was released in 1980.
These two albums were chosen to represent how Bowie entered his superstar era at the start of the 1970s compared to what and who he had become in 1980 after his artistic detour with musician Brian Eno and producer Tony Visconti for the Berlin Trilogy albums (“Low,” “Heroes” and “Lodger”). Additionally, “Scary Monsters” was released just three years before Bowie’s “Let’s Dance” album catapulted him into the MTV limelight in 1983, making him a musical and fashion icon for a new generation of fans. Each set was introduced by longtime Chattanooga radio personality Jeff Styles, who helped put the work into context of where it fit into Bowie’s career and the history of that era of music.
Scealf threw himself into the role of Bowie, wearing a silver jumpsuit to embody the Ziggy Stardust alter ego and later wearing a Perriot costume similar to what Bowie wore on the cover of “Scary Monsters.” He threw himself around the stage throughout both sets and even into the crowd of 60 to 70 fans, who were fully immersed in the show.
The rest of the band also dressed to represent these two aspects of David Bowie’s evolution as an artist and performer, with big hair and shiny suits for the Ziggy Stardust era followed by stark black suits for the “Scary Monsters” set. The music was performed flawlessly, but not so precise as to make it unexciting. The solos had energy and passion that had the crowd engaged with the performance, sometimes dancing, sometimes singing along and sometimes just entranced with the music.

All of the Diamond Dogs are accomplished musicians with their own original music legacy in the Chattanooga region. Scealf is the lead singer for the legendary hardcore band The Unsatisfied, Mike Courter was a member of Musical Moose, and the other members have had extensive careers in other bands and as musicians beyond the Diamond Dogs. Montfort and Mike Courter also run recording studios helping other artists get new music recorded and released in the area.
While the Songbirds show featured songs even casual fans would know, such as “Starman,” "Suffragette City” and “Ashes to Ashes,” the Diamond Dogs’ decision to play both albums from start to finish allowed the band to explore some of the lesser-known songs from these two albums. Performing tracks such as “Hang onto Yourself” from “Ziggy Stardust” and “Scream like a Baby” from “Scary Monsters” give depth and perspective to the performance. “Rock and Roll Suicide” finished out the “Ziggy Stardust” set in the way Bowie intended by bringing the Ziggy persona and the crowd together at the end. These are songs not likely to be heard from a traditional tribute act show at Riverfront Nights (or anywhere else).
In the end, it’s this devotion to the entire David Bowie catalog that distinguishes the Diamond Dogs from other “just play the hits” tribute acts. Leaving Songbirds, everyone felt like they had a better understanding of who Bowie was beyond his bestknown songs as well as how this work inspires each of the Diamond Dogs in their own musical careers.
“Bowie is not just a chart topping pop idol, though he was that, too,” Mike Courter said. “He wrote serious music and always used great musicians, so the music is always challenging.”

AVA Main and Landis Education Galleries: Annual Juried Member Exhibition
Every year, AVA hosts a Juried Show for our Member Artists. Each year a panel of jurors (each an established professional in the visual art field) score and evaluate submissions from AVA’s member artists. This show is a smaller scale group exhibit and helps us determine an artist for our annual Solo Artist Exhibition. The artist whose work receives the highest score from the Jurors is awarded “Best in Show” and will receive a solo exhibition of their work at AVA the following year as well as serving as a juror for the next Juried Show. Jurors are also each asked to select an artist to receive “Juror’s Choice” for automatic inclusion in the exhibition, regardless of score. Those artists are awarded a small group exhibition of their work in the Landis Education Gallery the following year, coinciding with the Best in Show solo exhibition. Exhibit Duration- Friday, July 3rd-August 28th

GOOD EATS
by Lori Kyle
Where We Got Our Flavor On This Week: Uncle Larry’s
We’ve loved Uncle Larry’s for years. We’ve eaten at both of their brick and mortar restaurants, so I’ve been determined to catch their food truck ever since it parked in Red Bank in front of Be Caffeinated’s drive through and the Northside Neighborhood House.
For some reason, I thought the truck was only open in the evenings. Nope! They’re there from noon to 6:30 p.m., which absolutely made my day. Now I can literally walk there on my lunch break, get a little exercise and a little soul at the same time. Win Win!
I squealed in right as they were closing, and while I hate being that customer who keeps people from heading home, the owner smiled and told me to come on up and order anyway. That kindness immediately set the tone.
Sadly, they had already sold out of their famous macaroni and cheese. I was bummed, but honestly, I wasn’t surprised. It’s some of the best mac and cheese in Chattanooga, so of course it’s one of the firs things to disappear.
I ordered the fried shrimp plate with fries and hush puppies, while I picked up a plate for hubs of the two piece whiting with white beans and coleslaw. His fish had that perfect cornmeal crust Uncle Larry’s is known for, crispy without beinggreasy, and the fish was flaky and tende I stole a bite of those white beans, and they were downright delicious. The creamy slaw was fresh and refreshing, and the wheat bread completed the classic Southern fish plate.
My shrimp were huge, perfectly breaded, and absolutely delicious. And those hush puppies? Praise be! I am not a fan of dense, hockey puck hush puppies. These were light, flavorful, and had the perfect crisp exterior.
More than anything, though, I want to thank the crew for their hospitality. They could’ve easily said they were closed, but instead they welcomed me with kindness. Great fish will get people to stop, but genuine kindness is what keeps them coming back.
Get yourself to one of Uncle Larry’s restaurants or their bad ass food truck. You’ll leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit.
If this experience were a song, it’d be “Bellbottoms” by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. Bold, soulful, and guaranteed to leave an impression.

Uncle Larry’s Food Truck In front of Be Caffeinated’s Drive Through and the Northside Neighborhood House Red Bank, TN
I always tip at food trucks. I’ve worked on one before, and I know how brutally hot they get. The crew is cooking, taking orders, and serving customers with a smile in what feels like a rolling oven. They earn every penny.
Monday’s lunch plans? Already made. I’ll be walking over early enough to finally get that mac and cheese.
LIFE IN THE ‘NOOG
by Chuck Crowder
We’re all speaking Spanish now!
Spain won the World Cup 2026! And normally, this wouldn’t be such big news around the Noog—except for one little detail. Chattanooga served as the Team Base Camp for Spain leading up to the start of the FIFA brackets.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past two months, you’ll remember that the Spanish team spent their pre-tournament June hunkered down at the new downtown Embassy Suites, honing their chops at Baylor School’s exceptional football facility. And that’s a big deal. Not only was our fair city just one of 25 around the U.S. selected to host national Team Base Camps, but we were also honored to pamper the number three seed—Spain.
As a nation, the U.S. needed the World Cup more than any other potential host country on the planet. What better diversion from our current shit show in Washington than to have people from around the world descend upon us and remind us of all the uniquely American delicacies we take for granted every day—BBQ, Waffle House, and even Ranch Dressing.
Scottish beer lovers miraculously depleted the seemingly endless supply of Sam Adams in Boston. European football fans marveled at Atlanta’s air-conditioned Mercedes-Benz Stadium. And Norwaysweetheart Erling Haaland proudly carried off the team plane a beloved taxidermy raccoon holding an empty whiskey bottle he purchased somewhere along the way.
If Trump’s failed American State Fair is a metaphor for how we feel about ourselves, a better celebration might be the World Cup visitors from countries far older than 250 years holding up a mirror to America and screaming, “What are you guys all bitching about?—This place is awesome!”
And for Chattanooga at least, the World Cup was. Some lucky fans got to see Spain in practice matches at Baylor, and those who braved the heat on the sidewalks around the Embassy Suites got the rare chance to meet football legends right in their own backyard. One of my friend’s kids hung around for several days back in June seeking glimpses and autographs and was finally rewarded with a soccer ball signed by the entire team.
Given that Spain has now clinched the World Cup, I wonder what that ball is worth now? It was a hard-fought final match, but Spain dominated handily. They racked up an impressive 20 shots on goal to just two by the defending champions, Argentina. One shot landed, and that’s all it took—a one-nil Spain victory!
Throughout the World Cup, local revelers at watch parties all around the Noog hoisted up their favorite Spanish concoctions and cheered on their adopted “home team” every match during Spain’s impressive run to the top. Because Spain’s victory wasn’t just celebrated in Europe, it was cherished right here at home.
