music club that takes reservations? (Franklin, Martin: live, restaurant, places to eat)

[nbourbaki]

Hi all,

I am looking for a club with good music (for this Sat. so any recs?) that take reservations for seating. Standing in line for too long is not an option this time.

Normally we try the bluebird or the family wash, but neither will do this time.

any others?

cheers and thanks

oh, music type is pretty eclectic, bluegrass/folk/americana/classic country/indie preferred but quality a key.

Maybe the Exit/In? You can visit their website and see who's playing.

The E/I isn't what it once was, but you might enjoy it. And our trivia factoid for today: Steve Martin claims he perfected his zany comedy routine at the E/I. He used to take the whole audience out into the street back in the 70s.

hey all, thanks for the suggestions.

I will look at exit in in future, but they seem sold out for this sat.

and the ability to make reservations is a must.

how about good places to eat that have music, that way you can reserve a table??

David Ball was great in the early-to-mid 1990's, along with Joe Diffie, Mark Chesnutt, Tracy Lawrence, Doug Stone, Rhett Akins, Doug Supernaw, David Lee Murphy, Wade Hayes, and many others.

That was quality country music, before frosty-haired androgynous p---ies like Rascal Flatts and Keith Urban took over the genre.

yes, thanks, but as I asked in my original post, I have already looked at bluebird (we go all the time) and they are booked this weekend.

I am looking basically for the same set up as the bluebird, but just not the bluebird

Was that really in there this whole time LOL! Sorry, missed it. Try the Listening Room. Very similar. In Cummins Station. You can reserve a table (it'll have your name on it when you arrive), great music and decent food.
