Behold The Brave has toured nationally, with song placement on Showtime’s ‘Shameless’, a performance on Chicago’s ‘Audiotree’ and lead singer Clayton Davis’s appearance on NBC’s The Voice. Whenever they take the stage, the house is always packed. DAYS NOW Chase Waller began releasing music as El Rocko in 2019. As his songwriting and composition pushed him into new territory, Waller’s project grew to include four other gifted musicians. The quintet began to push beyond the boundaries of El Rocko’s intimate world, until the collective launched it’s own project, Days Now, named after one of El Rocko’s early songs. After almost five years of writing, composing, recording and mixing, Days Now will release their debut LP in early 2027. ABE HOUCK Abe Houck is singer/songwriter and musician based in Chattanooga Tennessee. Over the years playing in bands and solo projects his music has spanned styles and genre’s from folk, garage rock, post punk and country. Abe’s upbringing was a peripatetic one, born in Iowa, grew up in the Midwest, South Africa and Texas, he came to Chattanooga in 2009. He is currently working on a debut solo album to be released in 2027. TELEMONSTER Over the last 10 years, the band Telemonster has produced 12 kids and 1 record. These days their music comes from this particular place in life – a place where you carry toddlers more than guitar cases; where you play hide ’n’ seek more than you play shows; where music is made from 9:00 pm to 2:00 am because everyone else has gone to bed. Telemonster’s 15-year run is no small feat considering the band was originally formed for a one-off college talent show in 2009. Telemonster’s early output stemmed from collaborations between cousins Ben VanderHart (guitar/vocals) and Josh Barrett (drums) who had moved to Chattanooga, TN from their respective hometowns in Iowa and New Mexico. John-Michael Forman stepped in on bass to round out the band’s earliest lineup, and over time they added Dave Hess (keys) and Paul Smallman (guitar/keys). Telemonster released an eponymous EP in 2011 and quickly followed up with 2012’s self-released A Girl I Knew. After a 6-year hiatus, the band returned to the studio in 2018 and self-released their sophomore effort, Introspecter, Pt. 1 on Yellow Racket Records. Over the last few years, the band has continued writing and recording amidst the disarray of having kids, running their own businesses, founding a record label, opening a record store, and, whenever possible, enjoying a quiet life.
