Chattanooga has a deep Irish-music history if you know where to look. From early pub sessions to brewery gatherings and St. Patrick’s Day celebrations at the Chattanooga Choo Choo, this city has quietly carried the tradition for decades.

This group exists to support Irish traditional music in Chattanooga not just the tunes, but the people and the culture around them. It is a place for anyone who loves the music and wants to help it stay alive, welcoming, and rooted in respect for the tradition.

Since June 2025, we have hosted two sessions a month at Wanderlinger Brewery, creating a steady home for the local trad community. We draw on The Session website, nearby regional sessions, and local musicians to keep the music strong, the standards clear, and the door open to anyone willing to learn.
