Robert's Western World Fan Fair
Robert’s Western World, known as Nashville’s Home of Traditional Country Music, has announced a spectacular lineup for its August 4th block party, Robert’s Western World Fan Fair. The schedule includes the venue’s beloved house bands - JesseLee Jones & Brazilbilly, Kelley’s Heroes, Joshua Hedley, The Cowpokes, and more, as well as powerhouses like Marcus King, Elizabeth Cook, Radney Foster, Chuck Mead, The Travelin’ McCourys, and others. And, it’s Nashville, so you never know who just might hop onstage.
From the 1950s until the 1980s, the historic building that houses Robert’s Western World was the Sho-Bud Steel Guitar Company, which made custom instruments for everyone from Yes to The Monkees, and sold Willie Nelson his famous guitar, “Trigger,” in 1969. Robert’s is also the only venue on Lower Broadway that still welcomes pedal steel guitars on its stage. In celebration of the instrument’s importance to country music, Robert’s will present a steel players’ extravaganza called “Wanted For Steelin’,” curated by the Sho-Bud steel guitar company. Thirteen-piece Western Swing dance band Eddie Slide and his Cowtown Dozen will get the crowd ready to boogie, and local dance instructor Laura Mae Socks will host a Nashville Street Party and Two-Step Dance Lesson to help attendees brush up on their skills.
Robert’s is taking over the stretch of Lower Broadway between Fourth and Fifth Avenues just outside the venue for the celebration. The all-ages festivities are free and will begin at 10:00 am CT, with bands and special guests performing until 11:00 pm CT between two stages.
Special merchandise will be available for purchase, including a limited edition t-shirt from Any Old Iron, featuring rhinestone details and classic Western motifs in an exclusive design that celebrates Nashville style, music culture, and the vibrant spirit of Broadway’s iconic Honky Tonk. Kustom Thrills’ own Adam The Kid will be on hand tattooing the iconic Robert’s “R” door stamp, and the bar and grill will be serving up their world-famous “Recession Special” - a fried bologna sandwich, Lay’s potato chips, a Moon Pie, and a cold PBR - still just $6.
