Desert Man Music - Bob Villa

Tailgater's Il Primo Pizza
Two locations, one in Litchfield Park on the west side of the Phoenix Metro area, and the other further north in Prescott Valley. Tailgater's has great food, featuring pizza and wings, subs, salads, and pasta dishes. They also have a fantastic selection of drinks including a wide choice of beers and ales. Music rocks the house on the weekends, so take a little trip to Tailgater's!

DC Steakhouse
Chandler's finest in elegance and sophistication, DC Steakhouse is a great place to make memories that will last. Each dish is prepared to the highest standard of taste and excellence, the staff is knowledgable and very friendly, and the location is perfect. Make DC Steakhouse a regular stop when you're out for lunch or dinner. Bob performs there many Saturday nights from 8 to 11.

Stella's Coffeehouse
Don Motz owns this great coffeeshop in the plaza on the northeast corner of Warner and McQueen in Gilbert, AZ. You'll find an eclectic mixture of musical acts and events on Friday and Saturday nights, and a lively open mic night on Thursday hosted by gifted valley musician Marconias. It's not out of the way, so plan to visit Don and take in some of the local flavor, in drinks, sandwiches, atmosphere and music.

Taps Bar and Bistro
This is a great bistro on the west side of the Phoenix metro area, in Litchfield Park. Cozy, friendly and well-stocked, they serve up great cold drinks and absolutely delicious food! We especially like the salads and pizza, but we know that the rest of the menu is just as great!

Iguana Mack's in Chandler, AZ
This is a great place for everybody to hang out. They've got plenty of room for an intimate dinner or for office meetings or any size celebration, and the food is fantastic! They have live music every week Wednesday through Saturday, so pick a day and make it a party!

The Blue Adobe Grille
Great place to enjoy New Mexican style cuisine. Master chef Jose Leyva and his staff lay out a tasty morsel, both to the palatte and to the eye. They feature live music most weekends Thursday through Saturday. When in Scottsdale, check them out, and tell 'em Bob Villa sent you. You won't get a discount if you do, I'm afraid, but they might treat you a little extra special!

Scarecrow Songwriters' Night
Hosted by Nashville Mike and Jack Wolf at downtown eatery Latitude 35 in Knoxville, TN, this is a great place to get some internet exposure. The show is webcast live from the venue, and the stage, sound system and atmosphere are great! There is always a great cast of regulars and many talented new-comers every Sunday night. Check out the website for more info!
