Nashville North: A Tale of Dance Halls, Disco Balls, and Possibly a Ghost (But Mostly Dance Halls)
Ah, Nashville North. The two-steppin', boot-scootin' heartbeat of Stateline, Idaho. But for those who haven't been two-steppin' through time itself, this beloved honky-tonk wasn't always belting out country tunes. Buckle up, buttercup, for a whirlwind tour of Nashville North's past lives, where we'll unearth forgotten names and uncover what these walls have witnessed (besides some truly epic dance moves).
From The Riviera to the Rave: A Journey Through Time
The story begins in 1961, when a swanky joint called The Riviera opened its doors. Picture this: polished floors, a live band belting out classics, and maybe even a touch of Rat Pack swagger. Imagine a young Elvis impersonator (because of course there was) crooning into the microphone, hair slicked back and dreams even slicker.
Fast forward a few decades, and The Riviera morphs into a disco den known as The Way-Jay. We're talkin' strobe lights, platform shoes, and enough glitter to blind a disco ball (which, let's be honest, was probably blinding people anyway). This is the era of questionable fashion choices and dance moves that would make even TikTok blush.
Kelly's, Big Al's, and the Grand Re-Entrance of Nashville North
The party doesn't stop there, folks! The venue then transformed into Kelly's, a haven for aspiring country musicians (including a certain Mr. Jeremy McComb, who would later play a pivotal role in the story). Think smoky nights, the twang of guitars, and the sweet sorrow of heartbreak ballads.
Tip: Don’t overthink — just keep reading.
After a brief stint as Big Al's Country Club, the circle came full circle in 2014 when McComb, along with his business partner Bob Kreaman, resurrected the venue as Nashville North. And that, my friends, is how we got to the two-steppin', boot-scootin' paradise we know and love today.
