Owner/Propietor: JesseLee Jones (Robert's Western World)

Jrodconcerts: The Podcast

Internationally acclaimed Nashville honky tonk Robert's Western World will celebrate its 25th Anniversary under the proprietorship of JesseLee Jones on August 5th, 2024.

To celebrate, we welcome JesseLee himself to share with us the mega party expected to take over Nashville, and to share with us his one-of-a kind story that shines the American Dream on Lower Broadway.

JesseLee, from his humble beginnings in São Paulo, Brazil, fell in love with classic American music - traditional country, gospel, rockabilly, and roots. He immigrated to the States in 1984, and was robbed of everything he owned on the first day! He was taken in by a family associated with his church, and did every odd job he could find to make money. One job was looking after the family's children, learning English from watching "Sesame Street" with them. JesseLee eventually began playing music and making a name for himself.

In the 1980s, Nashville's Lower Broadway district fell on hard financial times, was run down, and became home to "adult" businesses. In the early 90s, Robert Wayne Moore started the venue which eventually became Robert's Western World. In 1995, Robert booked JesseLee to perform at the honky tonk; the house band at the time, BR549, nicknamed JesseLee "the Brazilian Hillbilly," and it stuck. In 1999, Robert decided it was time to pass the torch, and sold the venue to JesseLee, whose band "Brazilbilly" had become the house band (and it still is!).

Since then, JesseLee has turned Robert's into a destination for people from all over the world who love traditional country music, which includes folks like Sting, Joe Walsh, Post Malone, Kacey Musgraves, and so many more.
