(Press Release) The world famous Nudie’s Honky Tonk is now open on Broadway in Nashville featuring a three story entertainment complex housing memorabilia, costumes, multiple bars, stages and Southern style comfort food for patrons. “The rhinestone cowboy couture was founded in the hands of Nudie Cohn,” says owner Bill Miller. “Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Hank Williams, Sr, Bob Dylan and Elton John all donned his creations throughout their career where he supplied the fashions for some of their most iconic images. This attraction serves not only as a historical record of the epicenter where fashion perfectly fused country and Hollywood cultures, but also provides a museum-like environment for patrons to enjoy great food, drinks and live music.” In a private ceremony held on November 18th hosted by owner’s Bill and Shannon Miller, Nudie Cohn’s granddaughter, Jamie Nudie, who now runs Nudie’s Rodeo Tailor, welcomed visitors and fans of his fascinating fashions.
“Excited would be an understatement for how I expect my grandparents would feel seeing their artistry on display in Nashville,” says Jamie Nudie. “Beyond the fashions and celebrities, I wanted younger generations to experience the full story of my grandparents. Nudie was an immigrant from Ukraine who came from nothing, but with hard work and creativity he and my grandmother Bobbie fulfilled the American Dream. Keeping this legacy alive is my mission and with Bill and Shannon Miller’s team we have this tailor-made home honoring my grandparents for generations to come.” Below are some quick facts about Nudie’s Honky Tonk: Address: 409 Broadway, Nashville, TN 37203 (formerly Lawrence Records Building) Hours: Monday-Thursday: 11AM to 3AM, Friday-Sunday: 10AM to 3AM Space: 3 stories totaling 12,000 square feet Bar: First floor will house the longest bar in Nashville at more than 100 feet in length.
