Colby T Helms Forever Bluegrass Friday

Raised in the Blue Ridge foothills of Southwest Virginia, Helms launched his career as a teenager, writing raw and ragged songs that drew from the people, places, stories, and struggles that shaped him. If his debut album chronicled his own experience, then One for the Losers widens the frame by looking outward. Across a dozen tracks, Helms shines a light on the overlooked and misunderstood characters who've crossed his path, from troubled friends and fallen mentors to moonshiners, immigrants, and working-class Virginians trying to survive in a world that threatens to leave them behind.

Every Friday night in St. Elmo, the Woodshop Listening Room comes alive with Forever Bluegrass, a Chattanooga tradition curated by Cindy Pinion and the Pinion family. Rooted in the legacy of Boxcar Pinion’s festival and carried forward with heart, Forever Bluegrass gathers some of the region’s finest pickers and singers for a night of driving banjo, soulful fiddle, and harmony-rich storytelling. Different bands each week. Seating is limited, and these nights fill fast — so don’t wait. We are a full time music venue and there can be occasional shows early on Fridays from 6pm - 8pm - separate tickets apply. Consult the calendar below.
