Happy Veteran's Day!!!

Tonight we played one of the cutest and most unique venues - Dosey Doe's right outside of Houston, TX.

Best Sign Ever.


It is a Dining/Live Music Hall that is a 150 year old barn from Kentucky. Hand Hewn (cut by axe instead of saw). It is made entirely of 300 year old growth Oak and Birch. The process of taking the barn down, re-raising it, and finishing it out took them two and a half years!

It's adorned with all original signage, artwork, photos, general store wares, antiques, leaded glass windows, and milk glass (school) lights all from the late 1880’s to mid 1900’s. And the green room for the band is actually the master bedroom from the farmhouse! :) So cool.

They also made sure it sounded great for live music!!! They have had all kinds of incredible musicians there - Clint Black, Crystal Gayle, Hal Ketchum, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Billy Dean... the list goes on and on.

And the food. OH the food. Their chef has won all kinds of awards, been a chef at many of the top restaurants in Houston. Now he has designed a menu just for Dosey Doe's. Tonight I had the salmon. After I had eaten it and raved about it, I found out that he just won Houston's Iron Chef with THAT Salmon recipe!!! SO COOL!!!

Susan Hickman - the hometown artist that played tonight, too!


Awesome audience members!


Peace. Love. Fiddle.

Salmon. It's What's For Dinner.

What kind of food do you expect when you go to an outdoor concert? Burgers, hot dogs, chips... you know... the usual...

Ummm... at Brenau University? Nope. Gourmet. Some of the best Salmon I have EVER had (other than my Daddy's Jack Daniel's Salmon), Sweet potatoes, baked ziti, yummy rolls, red velvet cake... They live it up in Gainesville, GA!

We played at their outdoor amphitheater, and the students in charge said that the seniors have NEVER been able to have an outdoor show. Every year when they've tried, the weather has caused them to have to move indoors. But our recent weather luck did not follow us, and we actually got to play outside!

Brenau is an all-girl campus except for 5 guys that take night courses :)



Tonight we are getting to stay in one of our favorite hotels - Hilton Garden... mmmm... best beds.

Tomorrow? Show 9 of our 15 shows-in-a-row stretch!

Peace. Love. Fiddle.
