The Kusich Family
Born and raised in the western part of Pennsylvania, the Kusich family have made their home in Nashville.
The club "Ms. Kelli's" was named after their only child Kelli Joan who you'll see just about every night singing, bartending, or just socializing aroud the club.
Alice or as everyone calls her (MOM) you'll find in the kitchen or doing her thing throughout the club.
Alex, the man behind it all, bought the club to have something to do in his golden years. (What is retirement?)
On occasion you'll see Grandma Blanche, Alice's mother, who keeps the family straight, and she is dearly loved by all.
The family has a house boat on Percy Priest Lake for relaxing and enjoying family and friends.
The Kusich's try and greet everyone to make them feel they are part of the family here at Ms. Kelli's. Handshakes, Hugs, and pleasant conversation are what you will find when you walk through the door. The regulars who patronize the club enjoy the family atmosphere and say "this is our place, WE LOVE THIS BAR!"
