Joe C. DeVille cover band headlines Summer Nights
The Joe C. DeVille Band, a popular Chattanooga cover band, will take the Rhea County Courthouse outdoor stage Friday, June 20, for the third night of the Nokian Tyres Summer Nights concert series.
The show starts at 6:30 p.m. on the Rhea County Courthouse lawn, and food trucks will be available. Bring chairs and blankets and enjoy the opening of the seventh annual Nokian Tyres Summer Nights concert series hosted by the Rhea Heritage Foundation.
The band includes Joe C. DeVille (guitar/vocals), Dusty Kiser (drum/vocals), Jason Hill (guitar), and Roman Penney (bass).
DeVille has been playing live music in the Chattanooga, Cleveland and Dayton area since 2017 as part of various cover bands and as a solo musician. After things slowed down in 2020, he began to focus on his solo act. He recently formed a band to back up his solo show.
“We have a versatile set list that should appeal to all ages, as well as all fans of rock, pop and country,” Joe said. The band plays a mix of rock, pop and country mainly from the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s, with a few more recent songs mixed in. They are currently working on their first album.
Some of their favorite songs include "American Girl" by Tom Petty, "Hey Jealousy" by the Gin Blossoms, "Summer of 69" by Bryan Adams, "Tequila Sunrise" by the Eagles, "Rainy Night" by Eddie Rabbit, and "Midnight Train to Memphis" by Chris Stapleton.
“Our favorite thing about performing is the interaction with the audience and the energy a good audience can add to a performance,” Joe said.
Nokian Tyres sponsors the event as part of its commitment to serving the community where it operates an award-winning production factory. The company currently employs approximately 500 team members at its Dayton factory, where it makes all-season and all-weather tires for the North American market.
