The Story Behind Ole Red Nashville

Ole Red Nashville was announced in January 2017 as a $20 million entertainment complex planned for Lower Broadway, with the Nashville location opening in 2018. The project repurposed the historic Broadway National Bank building at 300 Broadway, a building more than a century old at the time of the announcement.

The brand was inspired by Shelton’s recording of “Ol’ Red,” which became one of his best-known songs and reached No. 14 on Billboard’s country airplay chart in 2002.
