The 2021 Moon River Music Festival in Photos

Chattanooga, Tennessee’s Moon River this past weekend marked my first time back to a music festival since 2019. We brought our mobile Paste Studio with us, recording nine of the acts on the lineup, including the Indigo Girls, Madison Cunningham and the Rebirth Brass Band, all of which you can watch here. But I also snuck across the street between most of our sessions to experience music from a big stage with a live audience singing along and cheering. Man, I missed this.

Singer/songwriter Drew Holcomb founded the fest in his hometown of Memphis in 2014 before moving it to Coolidge Park on the north bank of the Tennessee River in Chattanooga four years later. After missing out on the fest because of Covid last fall, fans were eager to return to the sold-out two-day concert. And I was eager to get some photos from the fest.
