Fillin' Station the

Okay listen up everybody because I'm about to let the cat out of the bag.  You want to come to Nashville to hear some great live music?  Then you need to visit the Fillin' Station.  Yes, you will have to drive out to Kingston Springs.

The best night is Thursday night.  This is their Blues Jam.  Want to know a secret?  The owner is that salt and pepper haired man who works behind the bar shuffling food and drinks.  Want to know a bigger secret?  Then picture this:

You will be sitting in their open aired patio enjoying your Yazoo beer from the tap, munching on your BBQ sandwich and having your face blown off with some ripping blues guitar when all of a sudden over the sad wailing of the Strat your ears will pick up the distinct tune of a harmonica.  Where is that tune coming from you wonder?  From the dark shadows of the bar comes the answer:  it is Patrick, the owner.  But this isn't your grandpa's swampy harmonica playing.  This is the Captain Beefheart/Steven Tyler kinda wailing that only a true professional can create.  And after Patrick blows everybody's mind with his mad skills he calmly goes back to serving drinks and cocktails while the blues band continues playing.

Ahhhh, only in Nashville.

This is a neat little bar/music venue if you happen to be way out in the Kingston Springs area like I often am.  Its located in an old service station in downtown Kingston Springs next to what used to be Macke and Kate's.

They have a decent selection of wine and beer but they also happen to have some really good food. So far I've had a hamburger and a chicken quesadilla and both were quite tasty. They do have some of the best french fries I've ever had.

If you're out in the area its definitely a cool place to check out. Good music + good food make it a fun stop!
