>> The Folk School of Chattanooga was started in 2008 when Christie Burns and Matt Evans decided to turn a couple of teachers at a retail music store into a full fledged folk school. 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.
