  • Inside Boyd’s Jig & Reel

    We wanted live music, but not in an overcrowded bar. We thought about going down to Nashville and finding something there. But there are too many tourists. This wasn’t the case at Boyd’s. It was really a quiet night for the pub, since it was a Tuesday, but it had… Listen ⇢
