I need to tell you about this way cool Nashville residency happening right now in downtown Nashville. As far as I can tell, this will be a once a month residency and last month it featured my friends over at Porter Union.
Mr. James Carothers has been making some major waves around town here with his true traditional Country sound. And I have been told he has an exquisite backing band, which provides a great atmosphere.
Jimbo’s Honky Tonk Revival is a new downtown Nashville residency featuring local Honky Tonk Crooner, James Carothers. Once a month at The George Jones on 2nd Ave, Carothers (with full-band in tow) will be presenting original songs from previously released albums and from his forthcoming 2019 monthly singles projects, as well as a few well-chosen classics & gospel tunes from the greats like Haggard, Jennings, Jackson & of course Jones! Different from typical downtown slots, this is a ticketed concert, so there will be no tip bucket. Watch for opening act TBA.
“We decided to put together a monthly Saturday night show for all our friends and fans that we meet playing the bars here in Nashville,” says Carothers. “We’re looking forward to doing it at The George Jones, the place where we got our start and where we’ve met so many great people. It’ll be more akin to a true music show instead of just taking requests to sell beer and whiskey…but not to worry, you can still get beer and whiskey!” laughs Carothers. “We’ll be playing originals and a handful of good covers. There’ll also be twin fiddles so it’s going to be even more country-er than normal. We hope this will become a time where folks from all over make plans to gather for good community and real country music.”
