Doe's

I'm performing at Doe's Eat Place in Jackson, TN Saturday from 6:00 - 9:00 PM. This restaurant and bar are located in the old Greyhound Bus Station.


Sorry, my photo is of me playing my Yairi DY-87

Google says a little over an 8 hour drive, or I'd be there. Video?

I realized a couple of things at tonight's gig.
1. I don't want to play for longer than two hours.
2. I would rather play where there is a backline. I don't like being a roadie.
It's been about a year and a half since I've played a three-hour gig. It's been longer since I've used my sound equipment.
I've been spoiled by not having to load and unload equipment. I think I'm just getting old.
Other than that, it went well. I meet some interesting people. Everyone seemed to enjoy the music.

Sorry, no videos or pictures.

What a cool take on a food and drink spot! Did they have to get permisison to keep the name on the building?

A local contractor owns the historic landmark and has an agreement with this family-owned restaurant.
Here's some info. https://jacksontn.com/famous-restaurant-destined-for-historic-greyhound-bus-station/
The two-bay garage is the bar. This is where I played.

The house that stood on this lot before the bus station is where my mother was born. So that makes it extra special to me.
