We have thoroughly enjoyed every visit to the Walking Horse Hotel, Chais Music Hall. The performances are top-notch and it's so nice to enjoy this quality entertainment inside an elegant historic building in a beautiful setting. We are looking forward to hearing the Beatles' music by The Mystery Trip Band this Saturday night....we just keep coming back for more!

We have been to several concerts/dances at the Walking Horse Hotel Chais Music Hall. The music is extraordinary, the quality is better than most and everyone is treated as VIPs. No one will be sorry once they hear the various groups. We saw the first the Mystery Trip Band's Beatles tribute performance and was blown away. We hope to make the next one. We also totally enjoy the Midnight Special Band and a chance to dance and have fun. Thanks Joe Peters for giving Murfreesboro, Christiana, Wartrace, BellBuckle and Shelbyville residents such an elegant and magnificent place to party!! ROCK ON...

I wanted to thank you again for having us, in one of the best music halls I've played in. Not only was the place so beautiful, but the acoustics, the experience, and the staff, yourself included, were all very accommodating. I would encourage anyone to come to this hidden jewel to perform!

Thanks for a wonderful experience listening to your band, as well as being there to hear Angela and Tom sing. I have to come from Nashville but, it is well worth it. You make everyone feel like they are home with close friends. I can't wait to bring some family members who will love the atmosphere as well. Joy Hendrickson

It's a great honor to be one of the artists that is performing on Inspirational Sundays at the Walking Horse Hotel. The sound is fantastic and the atmosphere just super friendly. Joe has started a great work with his family friendly music of all genres. Keep up the good work. Deon Unthank The Sunday Edition

To say I was impressed with the Walking Horse Hotel and the Chais Music Hall would be be an understatement. The atmosphere, lighting and sound were fantastic, but more than that I felt welcome, comfortable and appreciated. I would highly recommend this establishment to any musician or to anyone looking for a quiet laid back evening in a beautiful environment. I can't wait to bring my music ministry back!

Drove 4-1/2 hours to Wartrace to stay at the Walking Horse Hotel and hear Beppe Gambetta work his magic on the fretboard. WOW! While there is nothing much in Wartrace, this venue is all it needs! The acoustics were superb, and the venue lends itself to meeting other people including the artists. The hotel is a B&B on steroids. Not your usual hotel, Joe runs a beautiful old place with a B&B intimate feel. He is there and always helpful, but not at all overbearing. We'll make the drive again! Big town entertainment in a small town venue, with friendly folks. You can't go wrong. And by the way, be sure to see the countryside. It is beautiful!

I was attending a family reunion with a friend in Wartrace, 7/31/10. When we left, we wanted to explore the beauty and rich history of the area. I live in Huntsville, Al and this was such a thrill for me. We got into the middle town and saw this incredible old building and realized it was an operating hotel. We looked at each other and said, we want to take a look inside. As soon as we opened the door, there stood the owner Joe and he welcomed us with open arms even though there was a wedding reception close behind. He not only gave us a tour of all the incredibly beautiful renovations he has done but, gave us the run of the hotel and allowed us to tour the 2 floors. My friend and I were almost speechless as we walked around and I could actually feel the history and magnificence of this historic hotel. We definitely go back for a weekend stay and enjoy being in the Chais Music Hall listening and dancing to great music. Thank you Joe for your warm hospitality and I know your dream will come true.
