WORLD FAMOUS TOOTSIE'S ORCHID LOUNGE
& THE NEW NASHVILLE PALACE
RING IN 2006 IN MUSIC CITY STYLE

(NASHVILLE, Tennessee) The World Famous Tootsie's Orchid Lounge was recently recognized for its' infinite support of the songwriter and the overall country music foundation (ASCAP "Partner In Music"'2005). Tootsie's owner, Steve Smith, has announced the return of an old friend'a partner in the tradition, the New Nashville Palace.

The New Nashville Palace will open its doors on New Year's Eve (Saturday, December 31, 2005). "As most folks know, both venues have a history in the tradition of Country Music to harvest some of country music's most renowned hit makers like Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Roger Miller, Alan Jackson and Randy Travis," says Smith. "It is our intent to continue the traditions established by the precedent of these two world famous honky tonks and we're extending the invitation to folks to celebrate the grand opening of the New Nashville Palace (and the arrival of 2006) at both clubs."

With extravagant remodeling and construction underway, the New Nashville Palace promises to be Music City's most renowned country western honky tonk show club. "Historically, Tootsie's is a small dimly lit bar where folks can come in and just hang-out to enjoy performances by talented local artists and casual, impromptu appearances by country music artists who stop in. It is our hope to make the Palace the place to be' once again where country music fans can enjoy intimate performances by their favorite country stars in a show atmosphere. Just like Tootsie's, we're hoping the New Nashville Palace will become the back door to today's Opry, right across the street."

Locals and out-of-town visitors can celebrate New Year's Eve at both famed venues. A free shuttle will run to and from Tootsie's Orchid Lounge (downtown Broadway) and the New Nashville Palace (McGavock Pike, across from the Opryland Hotel). The shuttle will run all night long.
