S and I have been longtime fans of Billy Reid's. His clothes blend modern, rugged edge with Southern gentility. I'd be a liar to say that we've often been able to resist their charm.
Back in NYC we would frequent the shop on Bowery and 2nd. After all, where else in the East Village could you find the perfect gauzy white button up and Southern Foodways Alliance t shirt?
When we started coming down to Nashville last summer, we were stoked to learn that TN has an outpost. (see post here). Over the past year, we've gotten to be pretty good pals with the people who work there, and they've all been wonderfully supportive of the business venture that brought us back South.
So when our friend Bentley shared that Justin Townes Earle was playing a small show at the shop last night, let's just say we were more than a little stoked.
There were tasty snacks, strong whiskey cocktails and only about 50 people in attendance. JTE played most of our favorites. The setting made for a pretty rad way to see him perform...and we should know!
Check out a few seconds of "Memphis in the Rain" to get a vibe for the low-lit show.
As for libations, Bentley was whipping up the signature "Billy." Recipe to follow in a later post!
P.S. S also left with this dapper pair of suede lace ups he scored for a steal. Not too shabby.
P.P.S. Did I mention that Nashville is awesome?
Dyyyying over this. Who needs NY? ;)
ReplyDeleteIt was pretty amazing! I love how at the end of one of Sam's videos you can hear him saying "Say 'hi' to Luke." Wish you guys were there.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to show you guys around Nash in only a few more days : )
