Hello There Music Lovers!

Well, we've got a sporty new sandwich-making an pizza prep refridgerated table in Justin's kitchen upstairs.....and as of today, we have a new COOLER in the listening room bar to keep your adult beverages chillier than ever. The fireplace is lit and the music is hotter than ever, too. Come on out and hear what's cookin' this week.

LIVE MUSIC this week at Norm's:

Wed., Oct. 21 @ 8:00 pm – RICHIE OWENS & The HILLSIDE STRAGGLERS –
Richie may be Dolly Parton's cousin but when he takes the stage, it's all his. "Fans of ’80s Nashville rock will remember Owens and guitarist Robert Ocker from the tense, modern sounds of The Movement, but the East Tennessee natives have pursued a rootsier, more acoustic sound for well over a decade now. As The Farm Bureau, Owens plays banjo, mandolin and harmonica, while Ocker trades between his acoustic and lap steel guitars, with vocalist Rebecca Seaver adding harmony to Owens’ lead. They play spiked-up mountain music and melodic, sweet-toned originals that show off Owens’ melodic and lyrical know-how. A relative of Dolly Parton’s, Owens comes by this music honestly, and the fact that Parton uses him as a producer and a backing musician in the studio and on the road speaks of his talent for putting it across." — Michael McCall, The Nashville Scene

FRIDAY, Oct. 23 @ 8:00 pm – PHIL LEE and Friends KENT AGEE & TOM LITTLEFIELD !! –
This is what folks call an ONLY IN NASHVILLE moment! This guitar pull brings the return of Phil Lee, the Mighty King of Love - "an artful instigator" as stated in The Tennessean. This time, he's joined by TOM LITTLEFIELD & KENT AGEE. Tom has sung on recordings with Todd Snider, Steve Earle & Maura O'Connell among others. His songs have been recorded by the NASHVILLE BLUEGRASS BAND, Ronnie McCoury, DADDY (Will Kimbrough & Tommy Womack); Tommy Womack; Brooks & Dunn; Shawn Colvin; Kim Richey; Maura O’Connell; Jack Ingram; Nanci Griffith; John Cowan; Ricky Van Shelton; Trisha Yearwood and beyond. And KENT AGEE has cuts by people as diverse as Barbra Streisand, Andy Griggs, Vanessa Williams, Tom Kiefer, Evan and Jaron and Joy Lynn White among others. Kent still writes rock..pop..and some stuff they call country. But when left on his own, he writes songs that are labeled Americana. Mostly celebrations of, and testaments to, humans just trying to do their inadequate best.

Tues., Oct. 27 @ 7:00 pm – SUSAN GIBSON! –
"...Ms. Gibson...possesses clear, crisp, bold pipes. Her vocals have a rough edge that is tempered by a potent sense of melody. When she sings, you can see her body surge with energy. She's pulsating with every word." - Dallas Morning News ; "Susan Gibson's 'Wide Open Spaces' was a massive hit for the Dixie Chicks and her platinum calling card to fame. Last year's Outer Space re-established the Austin area resident in the ranks of popular singer-songwriters and reaffirmed her determined direction down heartfelt highways." – Austin Chronicle
