When it comes down to it, Puckett’s Gro. & Restaurant is a community kitchen, with live pickin’ performances just a few feet from your table. LIVE MUSIC TONIGHT:Byron Hill, John Ford Coley, and Roxie Dean!
The Puckett’s roots go way back to the 1950s, and a little grocery store in the village of Leiper’s Fork, Tenn. Ever since then, we’ve been focused on providing friends new and old with great food and Southern hospitality.
Authentic comfort food—barbecue smoked slow ‘n’ low over cherry wood, the home-cooked sides, even a few upscale dishes—is what Puckett’s aims for you to remember!

Donna Ulisse and the Poor Mountain Boys Live at Kimbro's
2015-09-17 19:00 - 23:00
The first thing you’re likely to notice when you listen to Donna Ulisse – whether live or on a recording – is the voice. Variously described as “rapturous and angelic,” strong, supple, warm, rich, companionable and crystalline, that voice commands your attention, adapting readily to whatever song she is singing, wrapping itself around the lyrics and imbuing them with just the right emotion needed to bring the song home. Ulisse (pronounced You-liss-ee) also has been called “one of the best singer-songwriters in bluegrass.” Which leads us to the pen. Nominated as the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Songwriter of the year for two years running, Ulisse has been blessed to have her songs recorded by the Del McCoury Band, Claire Lynch, Darin and Brooke Aldridge, The Bankesters and Nu-Blu, among others.
The voice. The pen. The heart and soul. Whether she is singing her own songs or those that have helped to shape her as a singer and a writer, Donna Ulisse continues to make her mark as a uniquely talented artist who gets better with each new release.

The Jake Leg Stompers Live at Kimbro's
2015-09-18 19:00 - 23:00
The Jake Leg Stompers evoke the rebellious spirit and colorful pageantry of American popular music before the Second World War, from the Memphis blues to the Virginia Reel; when jazz began, vaudeville was urgent, and folk music was still dangerous.
From their world headquarters in Bucksnort, Tennessee, the Jake Leg Stompers serve up tangy tastes of chicken-fried, pre-war, hokum-billy jug music to gourmet audiences everywhere. Acclaimed for their spirited, eclectic, and wildly unpredictable street performances, the Stompers are equally at home in night clubs or on festival stages.
Since 2005, the Jake Leg Stompers have built a devoted following in Nashville and throughout the Southeast with their engaging and playful public performances — performances that call forth the manners, moods, and repertoire of early 20th-century medicine shows, featuring period dress and vintage instruments.
Having found warmly appreciative audiences in club scenes and festival arenas, the Jake Leg Stompers look forward to taking their road show worldwide to showcase the breadth and joyous abandon of early 20th- century American string & jazz band music.0

The Highjivers Live at Kimbro's
2015-09-24 19:00 - 23:00
In September 2014, Austin John of the Austin John Band moved to Nashville, TN with his girlfriend Dawna Zahn to pursue their music career. Austin had hit the ground running in the Syracuse music scene with the help of friend and fellow musician Collin Aberdeen (Los Blancos) after Aberdeen discovered Austin at Shifty’s open mic in 2012. Austin then spent the next two years playing in the Syracuse area as a blues trio with bass player Booth Johnson and drummers Louis Miceli, Mark Tiffault, or Dave Olsen. The Austin John Band made a tremendous impact on the blues scene in Syracuse, quickly gaining fans where ever they went.
Auburn, NY native Dawna Zahn had spent the last few years singing in the rock n’ roll, blues and honky tonk band Silver Queen Casket Company, which Austin joined in late 2014. Like the Austin John Band, Silver Queen quickly gained popularity in the Auburn/Syracuse area. Without any formal training, Dawna’s unique vocal style developed through her love of the raw, swampy sounds of early blues and rock n’ roll.
Bassist Hank Miles, also from Seattle, is the son of a touring jazz bassist. Hank has been playing and recording,”since he could move and make noise” and grew up on tour until it was time to start school. Some of his former bands include Redneck Girlfriend, Go Like Hell, and Shivering Denizens (who shared stages with country legends David Allen Coe and Billy Joe Shaver).
Austin, Dawna, and Hank met over a few beers at Mickey’s Tavern in Nashville this February. After a few minutes of rambling off influences such as Howlin’ Wolf, Etta James, Bo Diddley, Big Maybelle, Wynonie Harris, and Nick Curran, the group decided to form an early Rhythm & Blues, Rock N’ Roll combo… And thus, the Highjivers were born.
