Chattanooga’s New EDM Organization All My Friends Energizes Local Music Scene
Chattanooga is set to embrace a revitalized electronic dance music (EDM) scene thanks to the launch of a new local organization, All My Friends. Founded by Jake Pearcy and Micah Weaver, with Logan Miller leading tech and laser productions, the organization aims to foster community and enhance the music culture in the area. Their first event is slated for September 2023, marking a significant milestone in the local entertainment landscape.
Despite juggling full-time day jobs, the founders dedicate their evenings to organizing events intended to inject a “unique energy” into Chattanooga’s music offerings. Pearcy, one of the co-founders, observed that local EDM enthusiasts often traveled to major cities like Nashville or Atlanta to experience live big-name acts. This realization sparked the vision for All My Friends, which aims to cultivate a more dynamic homegrown atmosphere in Chattanooga.
In addition to securing local artists, All My Friends encourages patrons to support local vendors during its events. Each occasion is designed to transform the hosting venue into a mini-festival, featuring live artist corners, a friendship hub for social interaction, local vendors, and a wide variety of performers appealing to music lovers of all genres.
Innovative Approach to EDM Culture
All My Friends is not just about music; it aims to reshape the narrative surrounding EDM culture and festivals. The organization has introduced measures such as safety training seminars to ensure attendee well-being. Furthermore, the founders are committed to social responsibility, organizing charity events to impact the community positively, including hurricane relief efforts and toy drives for children.
The organization’s name, “All My Friends,” underscores its commitment to building connections and fostering a welcoming atmosphere, traits that are fundamental to the essence of EDM events. These features are aimed at creating memorable, enjoyable experiences for patrons while nurturing a sense of community among attendees.
Attracting Talent and Diverse Performances
All My Friends is already making waves by bringing in a mix of regional and international headliners, including well-known artists such as Amtrac, Lumasi, TRUTH, and The Widdler. This variety ensures that each event caters to a broad demographic of music enthusiasts, featuring genres from disco and bass music to jam bands, thus appealing to a wide range of musical tastes.
Looking ahead, All My Friends has exciting events on the horizon, including a highly anticipated double-hitter featuring artist Luci on Saturday, May 3. The day will kick off with a pool party at Whiskey Cowgirl, followed by a late-night show at Barrelhouse Ballroom, further solidifying the organization’s commitment to creating engaging and vibrant nightlife experiences for its community.
Building a Thriving EDM Scene
All My Friends is poised to enhance Chattanooga’s local music scene significantly by providing a platform for EDM and house music. With a focus on community-building, safety, and creating unique experiences, the organization is addressing the gaps previously felt by local fans and performers alike. By establishing a thriving atmosphere for collaboration and creativity, All My Friends is setting the stage for an exciting evolution of Chattanooga’s music culture.
In summary, the emergence of All My Friends stands as a significant development in Chattanooga’s entertainment scene, promising to transform how residents experience and engage with electronic dance music, while fostering a sense of belonging and support for local talent.
