Nick Lutsko launches Cuatro de Lutsko at this week’s Nightfall. Randy Steele and The High Cold Wind kick things off this Friday at 7 PM.
This week’s Nightfall Music Series show in downtown Chattanooga is more than just another concert; it marks the beginning of Cuatro de Lutsko, a four-part live music celebration hosted by local songwriter, comedian, and multi-instrumentalist Nick Lutsko and the 100k Band.
Joining the lineup is Chattanooga’s own Randy Steele and the High Cold Wind, who will kick off the evening at 7:00 pm with high-energy bluegrass tunes.
Cuatro de Lutsko
Cuatro de Lutsko is a two-day event that begins with Friday’s free show at Nightfall Music Series in Miller Park on August 16th.
After Nightfall, head down MLK Blvd. to JJ’s Bohemia for part two, where Jakey Lutsko opens, and Nick Lutsko headlines with a full performance of his 2020 album Songs on the Computer.
The event continues on Saturday, August 17th, with two shows at Barking Legs Theatre. The first, an unplugged acoustic set at 1:00 pm, includes a VIP meet-and-greet. The second is a special Saturday night performance featuring musical comedy from Nick, Desmond, Cowboy Jon, Greezy Rick, and other special guests.
While the Nightfall performance is free, the other three shows of Cuatro de Lutsko require separate tickets, available for purchase here.
Lutsko noted that all proceeds from this weekend’s event will go toward funding music videos for his upcoming album.
