Robert’s Western World is arguably the last bastion of true Nashville Honky Tonk music. Legendary band leader Don Kelley’s band, Kelley’s Heroes, holds down the fort 4 nights a week, ripping 4 hour sets of real live traditional Country music, keeping the original spirit of Lower Broadway alive. Host Jarrad James meets up with his old friend and timekeeper “Backbeat” Bill Van Vleet and chats about what goes into playing a proper Broadway gig, and what it’s like to play the busiest and most iconic house kit in Nashville.
