Robert’s Western World on Nashville’s Lower Broadway was home to the Don Kelley Band for as long as anyone can remember. Kelley’s band was an institution in Nashville, serving as a stepping stone for super-pickers like Guthrie Trapp, Brent Mason, Johnny Hiland, Daniel Donato, JD Simo, and more. “Slick” Joe Fick and Luke McQueary also came up through the ranks of the Don Kelley Band. After Don retired in 2020, Fick and McQueary enlisted drummer/vocalist Billy Van Vleet and kept Don’s old shift going, throwing down at Robert's Western World each night from Wednesday through Saturday. John Bohlinger and the PG team joined Kelley’s Heroes pre-shift at Robert’s to rundown their rigs.

I wish I could explain how happy this video made me when I saw the thumbnail and read the title. Got to catch one of their sets a few months ago. They are all just incredibly talented musicians and great showmen. This is the epitome of *chef’s kiss*

[@premierguitar]

🙏

[@shineoncoffee4772]

Agree

[@JosephCompton66]

I was walking down the street and I heard them playing and walked in. What an amazing night.

[@PanamaJack666]

I've seen these guys and they're phenomenal. Real hard working musicians at the top of their game.

[@gregoryguarneri8473]

I was just in Nashville a couple weeks back. Seeing Kelly’s Hero’s was truly a gift. In the break I had to check Luke’s gear out being the geeky gear fan I am. He was so gracious with his time and information, great guy!!!! He managed to have huge, thick open tone with a small amount of gear.

[@delsolsyxx]

Very Cool! Thanks for showcasing smaller bands as well, for me seeing gear from bar bands and smaller acts is where I learn the most about my own set up.

[@jerryhorton5708]

Words are insufficient to express my admiration of Kelley’s Heroes. Thank you, PG, for another stellar rig rundown

[@Jason-cm6uh]

"I'll get the musicians, you get the drummer" HA! That's harsh John

[@d0nniebr00ke7]

Love that these guys got a RR. Now I want a recession special and to hear some killer licks from Luke McQueary. I love that his rig rundown is about 1 minute, yet one of the best players I have seen.

[@ParadNorthProd]

When I'm in Nashville, Roberts is the first and only bar I go to. And I'm not a country music guy. But the music there is just awesome. Long time coming this interview.

[@mukmuk775]

Exactly the same for me regarding Robert’s. I’m not a country guy but if there was a Robert’s in my town I’d be country all the way. Great venue, great band, great city.

[@midlifecruiser]

Place is an absolute treasure.

[@alexmbrenner]

My favorite place in Nashville for the past 20 years! Luke is a beast!

[@waynecorners6]

Robert's is one my favorite places on earth. Saw Luke there few months back. Monster player.

[@JohnW335andTele]

I hope to visit this October and see Kelly’s Heroes!

[@zenmaestro04]

These guys are all incredible! Been watching them for years as my first stop when I have musician friends in town. And so much respect to Luke. I mean the sounds he gets from one (very modest) OD pedal into an amp. So good to see young guys playing like this. He's the real deal!

[@dankauffmanmusic]

I remember being young and playing through the pain. How quickly we forget that resilience is a gift.

[@clementval752]

Thank you for that 🙏 Spending a night at Robert’s and seeing Don Kelley’s band 9 years ago is one of my best (and loudest 😅) memories!

[@mike8610]

I love catching these guys about once a month or so. Their sound in the room is perfect, this video does no justice. Perfect place to bring someone who wants a taste of real Nashville.

[@RobertVincentMusic]

What a great surprise to come across this video! I lived in Nashville for 10 years and played in the bars up and down Broadway. This place is the best. If you're heading to Nashville.. make sure to put Robert's on your list of places to go. Great talent.. you won't regret it!

[@vince3804]

this tera melos and deerhoof have been the ones i wanted the most in the last few years thank you premier

[@mukmuk775]

I visited nashville for work a few years ago. The boys and I walked the strip in the evenings. We stumbled into Robert’s and I loved the music and venue. There’s something about the position of the stage in the front that makes it. I’ve wanted to return ever since.

[@mnicholson2003]

I love this group!

[@Noitpure]

I was in Nashville last summer and went down to the cesspool of Broadway for one reason only. To see Luke play in Kelley’s Heroes. Much to my dismay and bitter disappointment Luke wasn’t there that weekend. The replacement guy, sorry I didn’t catch his name, was damn good but I was there to see Luke. I’m gonna try it again this summer. Thanks for doing a Rig Rundown on these guys. Fantastic musicians!

[@michaelslawrie]

Love the Hero's! Awesome!

[@timodelange]

Finally a bass player rig rundown again. I miss the bassist!! Bring the back!

[@michaelnaretto3409]

When I get to Nashville, I am definitely going to see these guys play.

[@boogerracing]

Saw these guys last weekend and holy hell they blew my mind!!!

[@benlogan430]

You can like the showmanship or not, but these dudes can play for real. So I’m gonna enjoy them doing their thing!!! Serious badness

[@seanflynn7840]

This feels like it was filmed on a lunch break. The PG crew walked in for a lunch beer and said, "hey we can get the camera here quick, right? I got an idea." This is awesome to see working musician's getting some attention. Gigs like this are cutting teeth. Good for them.

[@cb24203]

That bass looks like soooo much fun to play.

[@thewhiteelephant]

I’m from Texas and visited Nashville to watch these guys. To be able to play four hour sets 3-4 times a week, week after week, with the incredible energy and enthusiasm they have is truly amazing. The fact that they are all highly skilled and talented musicians is icing on the cake. And they are all very friendly, to boot. I wish them all the best and can’t wait to see them again in a few months!

[@Weegus]

Another great video as per 💯✌️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@mattlongmusic9139]

Love these guys!! Thanks for interviewing them 👏👏

[@mattwaf]

What a great group of guys. That whole video just made me smile man.

[@muanjoca]

Holy hell Luke!!! 🤘🔥🙌

[@vwharman]

Wow. This is incredible, first, what a band. Second, the fact that you guys covered them is awesome!

[@davegtrman610]

Absolutely phenomenal!!! Love it!!!

[@jonnybeck6723]

WOW!

[@toastoftowne1076]

Not much of a rig to run down. Just loads of chops. Loved it thanks

[@premierguitar]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@MuffEvans]

You tend not to see "house bands" in the UK. This was probably my favourite rundown. The guys were so real, humble and down to earth, and to play 4 hour sets? Wow...

[@monteklein7385]

Love these cats!....Massive tone and talents......I'm suddenly craving a fried bologna sandwich and bag of potato chips......

[@premierguitar]

Recession special

[@thep2pband]

I would travel to Nashville JUST to see these guys. Wow!

[@gregmize01]

takin' us out with Jerry Reed, nice!

[@rynerogers1321]

If y’all are searching for new rig rundowns, gotta start doing country bands, there’s so many bands I tour around with here in Texas that have the craziest rigs, matchless, benson, etccccc

[@HighSideYT]

i used to go see the dempsey's play in memphis YEARS ago. he is an absolute showman.

[@JTCox]

My wife and I saw them in January 2023. A childhood friend of my wife's owns Roberts. We were blown away by this band!! The musicianship and energy were unlike anything I'd ever seen! Met Luke before the show. He's a pretty chill guy, but hand him a guitar...Lord...get ready for some fireworks! Glad to see them getting this exposure!

[@Guitargate]

Now THIS is cool!!

[@Keithrrr]

Great RR ! This guy is a guitar monster, but very humble too.

[@Tomijee]

Holy shit those guys rock

[@shineoncoffee4772]

What a great idea. Thank you

[@samsingletary7004]

Some of the few remaining honky tonk heroes. 🤠

[@muutron5253]

Got to tip the hat to Luke's Roy Buchannon look. Big shoes to fill but he's on his way and killin' it on that Thinline. .

[@Jay-lr3me]

I thought that - Roy always looked super cool. Rock it Luke !!

[@RobertFairweatherLuvMachine]

Honky-tonk country ..this is the best! The is something special. Nice feature. Essentially, the music is being played with no effects.

[@andrewpappas9311]

Never heard of these guys but I they definitely sound cool, that guitar playing at the beginning was so fucking cool

[@willudallmusic]

Robert's is just the best.

[@Foggy-1]

Can't wait to get to Roberts again, heading there in about 3 weeks. These guys are incredible. Luke is a Telemaster!

[@RickMcDanielMusic]

Bollinger does the best Rig Rundowns by far. Let him do all of them!!!

[@bldallas]

Greatness. We have an old tavern called Adair’s, that looks just like Robert’s. It’s in Deep Ellum (Dallas,TX) and I’ve been going there for C&W music and that awesome overall vibe, for nearly 40 years. There are pictures of the original owner, Louis Adair, in the walls with Elvis, Willie, Merle, etc. she was such a nice and super cool old lady; back in the late 80s she drive a Porsche 928 and it was always parked right next to the back door. I love the fact places like these still exist. Greatness.

[@cameronwindland819]

I’m just ready to see John Bolinghers rig rundown. I always see his videos playing at laylas and his tone is KILLER. Let’s make it happen!

[@vancehouse1]

Love Roberts!! HIstoric and great players!!

[@tonelok]

They are just so, so, so damn good. Get to Robert's, buy your buddies some longnecks, tip the staff well, and enjoy the show!!!

[@josephrigan2421]

yeah, this country- rock blows the doors off the rest of the genre(s). these guys astound me everytime i hear them. they need a weekly live-stream on youtube, that would spread the word very quickly...they might even have to tour! take this to the U.K.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!you won't be disappointed...

[@JasonHobbsGuitarist]

👌 great band. The boys are old souls for sure. If I ever make it down to Nashville I’m hitting up Robert’s Western World. 🤘

[@markleyva3108]

The poor Fender Rumble amp doesn’t even get mentioned by name. 😂

[@gregmize01]

OMG YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@canakpinar1020]

19:08 dude singing over them bass lines is extreme!

[@duncanfrere2656]

Great episode! One thought: Luke's done. He's over it. He needs to get out of there! Somebody snap this talent up and get him on the road!

[@robkeke]

What song is played at the end? 18:45

[@premierguitar]

A cover of Jerry Reed’s “Amos Moses.”

[@StandbyCymbalist]

i for one would have liked a drum rundown in addition to this amazingness.

[@drumrundown]

We did it! Its over here on the sister channel!

[@StandbyCymbalist]

@@drumrundown thx!!!

[@drewcaster]

Luke is the best live guitar player I’ve ever heard

[@dejaliloquy]

What is his neck pickup? It sounds so good

[@NathanNagel]

How about DG and the Eskimo Brothers next?!

[@SDakota133]

What is the name of the song they play at the end? Is that an original or a cover? If cover, by whom? Thx!

[@premierguitar]

It’s a cover of “Amos Moses” originally mastered by Jerry Reed.

[@judejudeus]

Luke is the kind of player that I wish I could play like . I'm not asking for much 😆

[@pettipasmusicllc2470]

Does anybody know what the name of the song they played at the end is?

[@slayinbass2396]

I'm sure the answer is no but does Luke ever do guitar lessons online?

[@jefferyschmitz3009]

Pops up in the front there is like WTF is happening

[@presto111man]

Luke and the guy named Porter from a few years ago were Kellys best players.

[@jensk4140]

No offense but i wish we could hear more about the modified pedal, John should've asked.

[@SreyMom-pf2jw]

ចូលមិត😂❤❤😢🎉

[@danielhoskins4690]

I just know the Black Grape song

[@danielhoskins4690]

And now I want to go to Nashville to watch these guys!! They seem incredible

[@midlifecruiser]

The best young guitar player in Nashville uses one guitar, one pedal and one amp. All us old gear pigs should give up.

[@jmd76family]

Wish Ted would had beat you both to do the rundown!

[@shineoncoffee4772]

2:30 He says that ain't a part of nothin'

[@slayinbass2396]

Haha, "i'll film the musicians you film the drummer".

[@dougiemanross]

This video smells like hot tubes, fried bologna and PBR!

[@vintagepipesnightmares]

This is authentic country music??🤷‍♂️

[@cedarbay3994]

Obviously great playing but the showmanship stuff is cornball and gets old fast. How many years do you want to play Ghost Riders in a bar?

[@BradWarrenMusic]

As long as each new audience loves it, stays engaged, and puts money in the top jug.
