Casey Jones Village On Track with Musical Menu!
Homemade cracklin' cornbread isn't the only thing served up on the menu at Brooks Shaw's Old Country Store in Casey Jones Village.
Every week at Casey Jones Village you can find live music to fit your tastes with the many different events held on a regular basis at the Memphis I-40 favorite. Here is a sampling:
Every third Tuesday the Casey Jones Barbershop Chorus croons out old fashioned favorites from 6:30 to 7 pm in the 1890's Ice Cream Parlor at the Old Country Store. For booking information please contact Larry Lewis at 731.234.0360.
Every Thursday night from April to October, bring the lawn chairs for music on the grounds under the stars with our friends from the Jackson Area Plectral Society. This group of 50 to 75 musicians bring their instruments and play old-time music on the front porch. The music starts at 6:30 pm and goes until the last instrument is packed up for the night. There is nothing quite like it between the Ozarks and the Smokies. Save the date for the annual fall bluegrass festival at the Casey Jones Village Amphitheatre September 12th and 13th!
Each quarter the sounds of Southern Gospel can be heard at the Gospel Supper Club held on the Back Porch stage at the Old Country Store. 2008 dates include June 5th, September 4th and December 5th at 6 pm. For more information contact John Blankenship at 731.668.0890 who produces Gospel Supper Club.
Jimmy Stephenson and the Music Highway Band perform Rock-a-billy music live in the Barnside Room the first and third Saturday of the month.
And last, but not least at Casey Jones Village, is the Songwriter's Depot in the Old Country Store restaurant on the Back Porch stage. Each month features guest singer-songwriters from Nashville who share the story behind country music's greatest hits in an acoustic concert. Dinner seating begins at 6 pm and the show at 7 pm. The show is always the last Thursday of the month from January to October. Call our friends at WWYN FM 106.9 for reservations at 731.427.9616. Produced by Shane Connor who does a fantastic job.
An even larger venue is the Casey Jones Amphitheatre located behind Brooks Shaw's Old Country Store. Located in a beautiful park-like setting, it offers seating for 700 under cover and 2,500 on the grounds. It is the site of concerts, company picnics, and more. See our Sales page for more information on booking the Amphitheatre.
