BIG CHANGES ARE ahead FOR SOUNDCORPS!
(Including our website & music directory)
The music industry is evolving, and so are we…
Founded in 2015, as SoundCorps heads into its 10th year, we have been reflecting on our mission and vision to enhance Chattanooga’s music scene and position the city as a premier destination for musicians and music lovers alike.
Over the past decade, we’re proud to have directly supported more than 2,500 artists and engaged over 1.8 million individuals through public events such as Chattanooga Hip-Hop Week, Summerween, and Road to Nightfall. Additionally, SoundCorps has generated over $1 million in direct payments and other income for local musicians through live performances, licensing fees, and busking.
In 2025 we are refocusing and reimagining signature programs like Sidewalk Stages, Craft Masters, TakeNote, and SoundBites as well as investing in new partnerships and initiatives, including digital skills and workforce development,
It is also time to update our website! Pardon us while things may look a bit different as we work on a redesign.
In the meantime, we hope you’ll stay in touch and connect with us through our newsletter and socials. And of course, hope to see you at a show!
Volunteer, intern, and sponsorship opportunities available.

a few of our Programs
Sidewalk Stages
Sidewalk Stages is a SoundCorps program designed to activate Chattanooga's streets with local music.
Chattanooga Hip-Hop Week
SoundCorps is a proud partner in this week-long summit, offering workshops and panels on entrepreneurship and business development, highlighting success stories of hip hop-related businesses, connecting artists with potential investors and mentors, while using the summit as a platform to promote Tennessee's overall business climate.
Road To Nightfall
Beginning in 2011, the Road To Nightfall has grown into one of Chattanooga’s staple locals-only music series, allowing one band the opportunity to headline Nightfall, a free downtown concert series that has taken place in the heart of Chattanooga for 37 years!
We are here to support and promote Chattanooga's music industry by creating opportunities for live performances, advocating for the rights and well-being of musicians and industry workers, and fostering strategic partnerships with local organizations to offer vital resources and services that sustain a thriving music ecosystem.
We devote our energies to building local music industry infrastructure and professional expertise through ongoing programs, events, and initiatives.
These efforts translate into increased opportunities to experience Chattanooga music. Our vision is to re-establish Chattanooga as a music mecca with a healthily growing cultural economy.
Success for us means Chattanooga has more music venues, sound recording studios, record labels, record stores, retail outlets, music industry professional services, and more.
