After offering group lessons in borrowed spaces during the Fall of 2009, they moved into their own brick and mortar location on Forest Avenue in January 2010. In the Summer of 2012, they relocated to Chattanooga's growing Southside at 1800 Rossville Avenue. >> >> >> More info: http://www.chattanoogafolk.com/ >> >> >> >> >> >> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
