They aren’t leaving Broadway Alone…

They aren’t leaving Broadway Alone…

Country as a genre is one you learn from the past…

That is why Lainey Wilson’s Watermelon Moonshine might remind of you Strawberry Wine. Cole Swindell took a tried and true #1 in Heads Carolina and put his spin on it. Luke Combs took Fast Car and turned it into Gold a 2nd time.

What do you they say, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

Mimickery is the most sincere showing of flattery. With Country Music following in those footsteps. It’s only fitting that the bar business comes along with it. Especially on Broadway in Nashville. Blake Shelton, Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert and many more have local spots in Nashville.

With the recently opened Garth Brooks Friends in Low Places, Eric Church’s Cheif’s opening in the near future, Luke Combs has allegedly been in talks, Morgan Wallen is opening a spot, Hank Williams Jr. Boogie Bar just solidified an address on Broadway…. needless to say the blue print is there in country music. The recipe is pretty simple.

Build a catalog…

Build a Brand/Career/Fanbase….

Don’t take any flack…

Surround yourself with good folks personally, musically and financially.

Get a Bar.

Rinse and repeat.

I know that other artists have done it all before getting their hands dirty making that recipe. Blake Shelton’s Ol’ Red is branching out with various establishments/venues across the country. Jason Aldean opened his 2nd Location in Gatlinburg this past year. Chase Rice has locations of Welcome to the Farm (1 in Cleveland) and others have establishments outside of Tennessee. Proving you don’t have to be on Broadway. It will be interesting to see which artists will succeed and which artists will be getting establishments in the future on Broadway or other locations.
