COME ON OVER!

This is the way country music started out, with acoustic instruments, before electricity. People sat out on the lawn, on the porch, or in a friend’s house and played their instruments together.

Enjoy the originality of music which is still present in many circles of friends.

211 Main Street
Louisville, NE

Come on over and take a spin on our dance floor!
This is a family-friendly venue, so bring the kids, too! Relax in nice air-conditoned comfort and support our concession stand - fresh, popped popcorn, candy bars, soft drinks and bottled water.

Sunday, January 26th, 1-4 PM

Join us every Sunday in January from 1-4 PM for open jam sessions! All instruments and skill levels are welcome. Come play along, share your talents, or simply enjoy the music as a spectator. Free and open to the public!
