Riverbend’s Mystery Rock Review Thursday, May 27, 2010
Chattanooga’s Riverbend Festival has featured some notable guests over the years and 2010 is no exception. As usual, there’s a mystery performance this year, the details of which are being kept strictly under wraps until showtime on Sunday, June 13. It’s being billed as the single largest, live “arts experiment” in Chattanooga history and rumors have already started.
What we do know is this: The Chattanooga Symphony Orchestra will be playing the Coca-Cola stage that night along with The Waybacks, a San Francisco based “golden era” cover band best known for performing some of rock’s greatest albums from start to finish. They’ll be joined by guest vocalists John Cowan, a Chattanooga favorite and one of the purest voices in Americana music, and Joan Osborne of The Grateful Dead, whose hit single “(What If God Was) One of Us” made its way up the charts in 1995.
The beloved, well-known album—it could be anything from Led Zepellin to Bob Dylan—is the secret centerpiece of Mystery Rock Review, a concert that promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime event. Maestro Bob Bernhardt of the CSO has already stated, “It’s shaping up to be one of the highlights of my entire musical career.”
Allied Arts of Greater Chattanooga is offering a special discount on 200 pairs of VIP “STAR” seats and 200 single night wristbands for music lovers who want to attend the Mystery Rock Review only. The Allied Arts deal will save concertgoers $12 from the normal price of a Riverbend General Admission Pin.
The folks at Allied Arts say it best: “If you skip out on the Mystery Rock Review, be prepared Monday morning to hear rave reviews of one of the finest moments in Chattanooga’s musical history.”
