The
grand finale to Emmylou Harris's 4 show benefit series for
Bonaparte's Retreat at Nashville City Winery was described by Steve
Fishell as an old fashioned back porch picking party.
Co-hosted
by her long time collaborator, Rodney Crowell, joined at the last
minute by Steve Fishell on dobro, John McTique III on percussion, and
Michael Rinne on bass, they performed without rehearsal or even a
sound check.
Adding
to the special nature of the evening was a 2 song shout-out to Guy
Clark. First up, a “sad and poignant moment”as Steve described
it, was “She ain't going Nowhere”. Next was a song not on the
set-list, written by Guy, first recorded by Rodney, a mega hit by
Ricky Scaggs, “Heartbroke”.
The
stories told, the music played made it a night like no other, a
moment in time to be savored by all who were there. And remember to
visit the Bonapartes retreat website and contribute or even give a
dog their forever home.

You can always find this place packed on a weekend night and sometimes they host parties that you can't get into, but other than that happening every once in a while this is the place to be. The venue Houston TX have nice upstairs and down stairs area.
