Three Ring Circle, The Station Inn, Nashville, TN - 4/20/2011

We had had dinner at Virago in/near the Gulch for a professional event and, being the neighborhood, decided to pay a spur of the moment visit to the Station Inn.  I had read about a sort of bluegrass all star band called Three Ring Circle doing a show, so we figured we'd check it out.

The Station Inn has the coolest vibe and history-soaked feeling of almost any venue in the city.  We got a pitcher of Bud Light and settled in.  It was about half full.  The band came on just after 9:00 and played a pretty killer newgrass set (we only stayed for the first set, as it was a "school night").  The dobro player was especially ridiculous.  It's definitely a Nashville perk to be able to see world class bluegrass players on a random Wednesday night with about 100 other folks, no big deal, just hanging out and enjoying it.
