Industry members gathered at a private hangar at Nashville International Airport to celebrate the official launch of Autobus, Jeremy Maul‘s new boutique tour bus venture in partnership with Prevost, and welcome Dan Ryan‘s Ryan Aviation Group to Music City.

During the event, Maul presented a model of his luxury X3-45 VIP Entertainer tour bus, and Ryan’s team brought in a Gulfstream G-IV SP jet, one of the first to be fully equipped with the newest Starlink technology.

Guests were provided with craft cocktails and culinary treats courtesy of The Electric Jane and its new private membership club, which is currently expanding to include a cigar lounge. ACM New Male Artist of the Year winner and CMA New Artist of the Year nominee Nate Smith rounded out the night by performing his hits “World On Fire” and “Whiskey On You,” among other tunes.

“I am just blown away that all you people have showed up here today. This is insane,” expressed Ryan to attendees. “We’re not here to sell anything, just to put a vibe together, meet people and have a good time. We’re here to say thank you, thank you for welcoming us to Nashville. We strive to make people feel special. We put our heart into it. And we don’t care about all the stuff that goes into the lax and luxury—we pay attention to it, but if you’re not putting your heart in it and not making people feel special, then we’re not doing our job.”

“This event stemmed from a little vision that Dan and I had on our morning runs of bringing two companies together in Nashville,” shared Maul. “Both of us moved here from California a few years ago and have synergies between us, and we want to bring good people together.”
