Bobby Karl Works The Tin Pan South Kick-off Party

April 2, 2013/by Bobby Karl

TPSSponsors. We love them. I got out my wallet to pay for a glass of white wine at the Tin Pan South Festival’s kick-off party on Monday evening (April 1).
“It’s an open bar,” said the server.
“Isn’t that nice?” I replied. “I love this party,” I thought silently.
The good folks at Jack Daniel’s provided the bar. Thank-you, sponsor. Next, I headed to the buffet table. That’s where they had helpings of meatballs in marinara sauce, chicken pesto sliders, veggies, cheeses, pork sliders and skewers holding Genoa salami, sweet gherkin morsels and grape tomatoes. These were courtesy of Maggiano’s Little Italy. Thank-you, another sponsor.
The event was staged in the Region’s Bank lobby at the Roundabout Plaza. Parking fees in the adjacent garage were waived. There’s another sponsor to thank. Hostess-with-the-mostest Lisa Harless swanned through a crowd that included such swells as Wood Newton, Liz Hengber, Bernie Nelson, Sam Tate, Jerry Foster, Steve Bogard, Jeff Silbar, Jon Weisberger, Richard Fagan and James Dean Hicks, not to mention Mike Sebastian, Mike Sisted, Charles Dorris, Charles Alexander, Charlie Monk, Mark Ford, Hank Adam Locklin, Chris Keaton, Alan Mayor, Susan Myers, Sherrill Blackmon, Jerry Vandiver, Ralph Murphy, Kayla Becker and Bart Herbison.
Tin Pan South showcases begin this evening (April 2). It’s a banquet of songwriting stars during the next five nights. Participating venues include 3rd & Lindsley, Belcourt Taps & Tapas, Douglas Corner, The Station Inn, The Bluebird Café, The Commodore Grille, The Listening Room Café, The Rutledge and Winners Bar & Grill.
Expect to enjoy Jake Owen, Radney Foster, Bruce Robison, Rhett Walker, Rob Crosby, Tracy Lawrence, Joanna Smith, Joey + Rory, Danielle Peck, Tim Nichols, Derric Ruttan, Tiffany, Dave Barnes, Jim Brickman, Richie McDonald, Victoria Shaw, Brett Eldridge, Mando Saenz, Jim Femino, Earl Bud Lee, Shawn Camp, Lauren Lucas, Jeffrey Steele, Jon Randall, Sherrie Austin, A.J.
