329 - Nashville's Lower Broadway Roundtable: Kelly Bamberger, Eddie Bell, Billy Freeman, Jake Gammon, John Root & Derek Smith

This episode features six amazing drummers with a wide range of experience, discussing the many unique aspects of gigging in Nashville's downtown tourist district known as lower Broadway. Some have referred to it as "The Honkytonk Industrial Complex". This scene is not for everyone but, for those who are willing to slug it out in the trenches of lower Broadway and perform for a mostly over served audience, the money can be good, great music can happen and important connections can be made.

In this round table discussion, the group talks about: 

• Explaining what the lower Broadway scene is
• The pros and cons of gigging on lower Broadway in Nashville 
• The unique skill set that’s needed to play lower Broadway 
• Advice for the player that wants to break in to the scene 
• Essential gear to carry with you when playing lower Broadway
