With the addition of Nashville Thursdays to the weekly lineup, the Club Room is firing on all cylinders. Things are sure to heat up on April 22 when they welcome David Graham & the Eskimo Brothers to the stage. 

This Nashville trio plays hillbilly music with a brashness of punk with influences ranging from Buck Owens to Social Distortion.

This free show will run from 7-10 p.m. and like every Nashville Thursday will feature Nashville Hot Chicken, Macho Cowboy Nachos, and Hubie’s Hootenanny Lemonade in addition to the normal menu. Make your reservations now at (260) 407-8530.
