Eric Church is the latest country superstar to announce a bar/entertainment venue in downtown Nashville. He announced details of the new bar, dubbed "Chief's," which is coming in 2023 to 2nd and Broadway in Nashville.

Eric, alongside real estate and hospitality entrepreneur Ben Weprin, announced his flagship bar/restaurant/live music venue earlier this Year. As construction is well underway, the co-owners tease the first detailed renderings of the six-story project.

According to a press release, the new place is designed to celebrate Church's musical legacy. "Chief's" will feature a ticketed music venue plus additional live entertainment throughout the building. The venue will include more than 3,000 concert posters from throughout the CMA Entertainer of the Year's career papering the ground floor. "Chief's" will also house a studio for live broadcasting with the capability of hosting broadcasts by various media partners.

Eric said in the release, "I've had a blast working with Ben on the design of 'Chief's.' Like everything we do with our music, the same care and consideration has gone into every detail of this place. It will be unrivaled downtown. I can't wait to play here."

Weprin, CEO, and Founder of AJ Capital Partners, said, "Chief's is an example of impactful design storytelling at its finest. We are excited to bring an experience unparalleled in the world of music, food, and entertainment to the heart of Broadway with one of the most storied properties downtown has seen. Through Rodney Scott's Whole Hog BBQ, two seated music venues, and a meaningful design, Chief's is a physical manifestation to Eric Church and his musical legacy."
