WHAT IS DOSEY DOES?

WHAT IS DOSEY DOES? Visit their website for a full description and menu selections but in a nutshell, it’s one of my favorite places. The food is wonderful and the entertainment is exciting. According to their website at www.doseydoescoffeeshop.com, “The Dining/Live Music Hall is built from a 150 year old barn from Kentucky. Hand Hewn (cut by axe instead of saw). It is made entirely of 300 year old growth Oak and Birch. The process of taking the barn down, re-raising it, and finishing it out took two and one half years. Mr. Michael Ford was the construction mastermind and is currently one of our Managers.

We love the idea of bringing this lost art of construction and a very real piece of American History back to life in a fashion that so many can enjoy. Adorned with all original signage, artwork, photos, general store wares, antiques, leaded glass windows, and milk glass (school) lights all from the late 1880’s to mid 1900’s. We hope that visiting Dosey Doe will give you a chance to let the mind rest and just “take you away”. Smoking is available on the outside patio only.

Dosey Doe is now considered to be one of the best music venues in the U.S. by artists and fans alike. Just ask Clint Black, Leon Russell, Marcia Ball, Michael Martin Murphy, Larry Gatlin, Mason Williams, Richie Havens, Deryl Dodd, Radney Foster, Tish Hinojosa, or Lee Roy Parnell (see photo) who have played here. "I have played them all, big and small, but I have never played a place that sounds as good as Dosey Doe!" Gary P. Nunn.

Keep us in mind for corporate and civic meetings as we have several rooms and areas all available with WiFi and plug in computer access and we can come to you with a catered affair including party trays and businessman’s lunches. In addition to a full kitchen we also have a complete bakery where we can supply your Holiday and Special Occasion needs: cakes, pies, cookies.”

Visit the website for more information. You won’t be disappointed.

Aug 20 Thursday W E S H A Y D E N

Opening forWes: 8:30 PM $18 / $12 Cover

Elizabeth made her Grand Ole Opry debut in 2000, appearing repeatedly thereafter

– remarkable, considering she was an indie artist with no airplay. The

excitement generated by her clear, beautiful voice, strong songwriting ability,

live performances have created comparisons to Kelly Willis & Dolly Parton.

Wes Hayden's popularity became obvious when he was asked to play for

President George W. Bush. With the release of Wes Hayden's new album,

"Full Circle", the Houston native has captured the attention of the music

industry and country radio stations. However, it is his appearances on

ABC’s “BACHELORLETTE” that has blown him into the limelight…“Jillian

thinks that Wes is a total hunk and that he's got some of the things she's

looking for in a partner. Sure, Wes is not bad to look at and having a

country music career is certainly a bonus.” Going to be one HOT NIGHT!
