From the time we left Alabama we've had simply an amazing, crazy time at every place we stopped.So, to clue you guys in on where we left off we were headed to Nashville to play Acme Feed & Seed. Now, we didn't do much research on where the venue was and it turns out it is right off the main drag. The place was busy as hell. We did ourselves a quick set up, sound check and played about an hr. Playing in Nashville right off the main strip where so many people hear so much different music is rather daunting but we pushed through it and we had a pretty decent response.
When we travel we meet so many different and interesting people. Some places we don't really get the chance to talk to any one or explore too much before we have to take off to the next town. Which isn't the ideal situation but we hope we catch up on things we missed in the future and hope to do just that when we make it make through Nashville, however, we always tend to leave Louisville with a story or two. That;s where we were headed. We were to meet up with our buds in Man With A Gun Productions and Record Company in conjunction with The New Blood Tubs GC. A great group of rowdy and interesting people. The shows haven't been very big but the company the shows bring are always the best.
Louisville is home to some of the best musicians and people we know. You got 40RTY, Allen Curtis and the dudes from Call Me Bronco along with on of our favorite dive bars called Mag Bar. We sat on 40RTY's porch and caught up with him, his awesome wife and Allen before the show. 40RTY had to get up early for work the next day and wasn't planning on staying for our set which, of course, was understandable. He presented us a 12 pack of PBR with as a preemptive apology for not being able to stay for our set. "Reserved for Swamp Rats" was written in Sharpie in both English and Spanish! (A pic of that can be found on our Instagram) We have more stories about our Louisville adventures and the people there but maybe we will share them another time. Big thank you to all of you! You know who you are!
For us, this bar, these people and this city will always be a staple in our routing at least as much as possible. Lets face it. Kentucky and banjos go together like Florida and day drinking. Not sure how it works but it does! It's never a dull moment in Kentucky which we touch on again about a week after this show when we play in Princeton, KY. But that's another story for another blog. Our next stop on the agenda is Cincinnati. Even though this tour has come to an end it doesn't mean the stories will be left by the way side!
