We were out touring around on Friday afternoon when we walked by Robert's Honky Tonk Saloon! Her voice was just drawing! We went in, ate the best Hamburgers and fries, had a couple Mich Ultra's, took some great pictures, and I must say, had the best time right there!!!

Very tight musical group
We happened to hear them while walking down the street. A few minutes of casual interest turned into 3 hours of rippin' tunes and jaw dropping musicianship. Go see these folks!

Playing classic country and honky tonk music by the greats that started it all: Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Kitty Wells, Ray Price, Tammy Wynette, Hank Snow, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, Ernest Tubb, Bob Wills, Connie Smith, Buck Owens, Skeeter Davis to the outlaw mavericks that kept it going, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Lynn Anderson, Waylon Jennings, Jessi Colter, Merle Haggard, Emmylou Harris and many more….
Singer/songwriter Eileen Rose and her band The Silver Threads play classic honky tonk sets each week in the legendary honky tonks of Nashville’s famous Lower Broad. The Silver Threads have quickly become one of the “must see” bands in Nashville and is comprised of a stunning collection of exciting and seasoned musicians.
Eileen Rose has released 8 solo albums, all written by Eileen herself, on several popular labels (including the much loved Rough Trade Records and Nashville’s own Compass label). She’s toured the world and back, had her song “Shining” featured in the Disney movie, The Rookie and several songs on major television shows. She belts out Tammy and Patsy like she was born to it and writes her own brand of outlaw country songs which have garnered a clutch of fans from Nashville to London, Boston to Rome.
The Legendary Rich Gilbert has been tearing it up on telecaster and pedal steel with some of the greats for years. This year, he appeared on The David Letterman show, Conan O’Brien and The Grand Ole Opry with the great Wanda Jackson and Mr. Jack White! His solos are jaw dropping, unpredictable and thrilling, his pedal steel work so beautiful, he’s made the widow of Don Helm’s himself cry and step up to the stage to thank him and shake his hand.
Johnnie Barber has played drums for some of THE all time greats: Ernest Tubb, Loretta Lynn, Charlie Louvin, Merle Haggard and, from 1978-1984, with Johnny Paycheck! He’s a drummer’s drummer, playing true country drums like very few can these days.
Joe Fick is a doghouse bass thumping phenomenon. Performing for years with the popular Memphis band, The Dempsey’s, Joe’s Nashville star is on the rise. He performed at this year’s CMA awards in the opening song with Carrie Underwood, Brad Paisley and Keith Urban! He also played Elvis’ bass player in the Cash biopic, Walk The Line. NOBODY solos like Fick.
Josh Hedley is another rising star. He is the fiddle player in Justin Townes Earle's band and is a talented vocalist and songwriter, releasing his debut solo EP in 2009. He sung with Eileen on her last album, and she describes him as her 'Emmylou'!

We can perform as a duo, three piece, four or five or six piece (if you'd like one or two fiddles added).
