Country Swag & Common Ground Partner For New NYC Bar & Event Space
Stephanie Wagner
Country music media brand Country Swag has partnered with NYC hotspot, Common Ground, to bring a new bar and event space celebrating southern flair and country music culture to the Big Apple. Aptly named Common Country NYC, the spot is located at 344 3rd Ave. in New York City.
Country Swag and Founder, Stephanie Wagner, is at the helm of programming, bringing in her expertise in the space and her strong relationships in Nashville. Common Country aims to be an ideal setting for viral pop-up moments and exclusive, intimate events, including album release shows, listening parties, brand collaborations and more.

“As a country music fan from New York, I’ve always felt the city was missing a venue that blends country music with NYC’s vibe. It’s taken the right team and timing, and with Common Ground’s crew and the rise of country music, now is the perfect moment,” Wagner shares. “I’m excited to bring to life concepts I’ve long dreamed of, from live music to unexpected surprises. Most importantly, both fans and artists now have a true home for country music in NYC, and I’m thrilled to be a part of it!”
Wagner launched Country Swag in December of 2015 to become a consistent voice for country music in NYC. She has hosted sold-out events featuring chart-topping stars like Jake Owen, Russell Dickerson and acclaimed songwriter Nicolle Galyon, among many others.
“Stephanie knows country music in NYC like no one else,” Noah Aussems, Managing Partner of Common Country shares. “Our partnership with her and Country Swag is an essential piece to our early success. With her help, we have been able to create and cultivate a space where country music can thrive. Together we are pushing the boundaries of what’s previously been done in New York City.”
