Iconic Ernest Tubb Record Shop Reopening In Nashville As Four-Story Venue, Featuring A Honky-Tonk, Performance Space, And Record Store

Three years after closing, the legendary Ernest Tubb Record Shop in Nashville is set to reopen with a revitalized four-story space that honors the late country icon’s legacy. The newly restored venue preserved original elements from the iconic space like the exposed brick and various memorabilia, including letters from Johnny Cash and artifacts from Tubb’s celebrated career. Owned by Tusk Brothers Entertainment co-founders Jamie and Bryan Kenney – who partnered with Tubb’s grandson Dale Tubb to oversee the restoration – the space now features a honky-tonk with two stages (including the original Midnite Jamboree stage), a record shop, private event spaces, and a rooftop bar, aiming to revive the spirit of community, live music, and artist camaraderie that made the shop a historic country music hub since 1947. The reopening celebrates not only the shop’s musical heritage but also its evolving role as a gathering place for both legendary and emerging artists, with the Midnite Jamboree set to return to WSM radio on Saturday night (November 15).
