Downtown was not particularly bustling like we thought it would be but rain was moving in and it was a Thursday. Karaoke was everywhere seeing as how everyone is trying to make it as a country music star. Fortunately none of us were trying to make it. It was nice to wander in and out of live music venues without paying any cover.
We finally settled in Layla's Bluegrass Inn mostly because of the dollar PBR special but soon after discovered that the band playing was the one our guide Jason (Martha's cousin) had been looking for. The upright bass thumped out a strong rhythm and everything else had just the right amount of twang, before we knew it we were rocking out to Slim Chance and the Can't Hardly Playboys.
When the band finished their set we moved on to a rooftop bar with a narrow view of the river and the Titans stadium. The band there was less impressive but not nearly as disappointing as the drink prices. Also be forewarned if you are a man and you come to Nashville many of the men's rooms have valets. I hate bathroom valets.
Nude Karaoke?
