sunday Sunday SUNDAY!!!: Simon's Tavern presents a live and in-person performance with The Country Doctors in our main ballroom and dance hall.

"The Country Doctors founded their practice in 2001. They refer to their music as "vintage country." Their roots are in the heartfelt repertoire of country musicians who played and sang with a purity of emotion often lacking in the genre today, while at the same time embracing contemporary artists who share a similar approach to country music."
