Whiskey Jam Pulls Up Stakes To Head To Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row

/by

Whiskey Jam, Nashville’s weekly original music series that has hosted over 875 live shows and thousands of performances, is moving to the heart of downtown Nashville at Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row at 400 Broadway this month.

From its humble plywood stage in a bar just off of Nashville’s Music Row, the show has been a home for the artist and songwriting community for nearly 13 years, hosting shows by then-emerging artists including Luke Combs, Chris Stapleton, Old Dominion, Sam Hunt, Morgan Wallen and Bentley. Beginning Sept. 18, Whiskey Jam’s regular Monday and Thursday events will take place at the new location.

“Whiskey Row is the perfect new home for Whiskey Jam,” says Ward Guenther, Whiskey Jam Founder. “Their commitment to quality and variety aligns with our own values, allowing us to provide a truly unique experience for artists & fans alike. The downtown area has always been the epicenter of our city when it comes to energy, excitement, and most importantly, music. So we’re honored to bring our event into the heart of Nashville.”

“When we started construction on Whiskey Row seven years ago, my first call was to Ward because I knew he would be able to help us establish a music program that’s representative of the most authentic parts of Nashville, which was really important to me,” shares Bentley. “This feels like a natural evolution in our relationship. I’m proud to know that my bar will be home base for artists and fans who want to hear original music of all kinds.”

Whiskey Jam’s 10th anniversary celebration sold out the Ryman Auditorium without announcing a single performer, and the event’s early support of today’s superstars has led to collaborations this year with Combs to provide the “Whiskey Jam x Bootlegger” Tailgate Party at all of his North American stadium shows. Whiskey Jam also presented the opening slots on Old Dominion’s “No Bad Vibes” Tour, which featured up-and-comers like Frank Ray, Kassi Ashton and Greylan James.
