Hear the music

Those who have come to hear the musician and his hit "Upside"  are enthusiastic. There is dancing, drinking, and there is always money for the singer and his band. It's nine o'clock in the evening in Nashville; a long night has begun, and the mood is already great - not just here in country legend Garth Brooks' shop, but up the street and down the other side.

The music clubs here stretch endlessly along the fronts of the buildings. There are small and large, well-attended and packed; in some, a lone folk musician strums songs in the style of Bob Dylan, in others heavy metal bands play, next to groups with two or three singers rocking the big hits of Bon Jovi, Queen, and Metallica. The beat of the heart of music nation USA comes from unknown bands and newcomers hoping for great fame, and they are playing their hearts out night after night.

Tribute to the South

The menu at Jason Aldean's Kitchen is a tribute to Southern cuisine. The restaurant offers classic dishes with a modern twist. The music acts are similarly geared towards everyone: everyone knows something, everyone knows most of it. Between the Nashville Hot Chicken Sliders, a tantalizing combination of crispy chicken sliders covered in a spicy, aromatic glaze, and working through the decadent dessert menu with bourbon bread pudding, the moods rise and rise.

The real highlight of Jason Aldean's Kitchen, however, is the rooftop bar. The roof of the restaurant offers a breathtaking view of the Nashville skyline, making it the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring.

Every band here seems to be playing for survival: full commitment is a prerequisite for even being allowed on stage. Here and there, however, newcomers who are still playing for the right to play anywhere at all get a chance. Often, a professional band is on hand who, as if by magic, knows how to empathize with the songs brought by the up-and-coming talents.

Some still seem shy, others are overconfident professionals without any fear who transform the lively meeting place of fans of all kinds of music into their own living room, as the Eskimo Brothers manages to do, a duo that conjures up a show with guitar and bass that puts many a world-famous act to shame.

Kid Rock's Big Ass

It costs $100 to order a song of your choice - if it's the right one, the hall goes wild, and a choir of hundreds joins in every chorus.
