Re: New 2012 Tour Dates?

There is also a decent Hampton Inn on 4th Avenue South that is a really short cab ride away from the Cannery (on 8th Ave South). It is also right across the block from the Country Music Hall of Fame and within walking distance of all the rowdy honky tonks downtown. Yes, there are some lame momentos ...

However, once you do meet the artist face to face the mystique falls away. You realize you are not shaking the hand of "World of Hurt" but the hand of a guy who at that moment is in the middle of a long work day far from home and missing his family. But he is gracious enough to give you a...

Skynyrd playing free in Nashville on New Year's

If you can't make the DBT New Year shows and have ever wanted to see Skynyrd, here is your chance.
Not even close to the real thing, but hey, it's free!

Rent a hotel downtown and then party all night. It gets PACKED!

Okay maybe not.....

It will be interesting to see who does take the spot, and we plan to give them a shot.
Shonna was wonderful but this will just start a new chapter for the DBTs. It is always worth giving it a shot.

The one thing the DBTs will always have over KOL is that they are a band FOR the fans, OF the fans. Someone else put it perfectly for me in another message board I was reading a while back. "DBT is the only band I would scrape, save or quit my job to go a see them play live." I know I am n...

It used to be Your Woman is a Living Thing. For the two Nashville shows, they had some kind of chilled out soul music playing. It didn't *sound* like anything Bettye Lavette has ever recorded. It was really quiet and laid back; she's usually pretty loud. I would LOVE to find out what artist it is. I...

Nope. Jack picked a rough part of town on purpose. Next time try venturing to 12South (litereally take 12 Avenue South from town) or East Nashville for some hellacious bars. That's about all we have.

He was standing near Patterson's sister at some point. Didn't see him myself, but I had that ominous feeling that he was lurking somewhere.
He seriously is like a wizard or sorcerer. Kind of cool and creepy all at the same time.
