That being said, there is a band that I have never forgotten about because they are terrific players and wonderful people.  Based in central Illinois, the guys of The Station are old friends who I just discovered are playing Nashville for the first time this Saturday night.  So this note is to encourage you to come out and support them.  I’ve posted the show details below along with links to the band so you can hear how good they are.  There might even be a surprise guest at the show…
