Knitting Factory Presents is expanding its footprint into Nashville with a new exclusive deal to book TRUE, a 300-capacity music venue inside the recently-opened Cambria Hotel & Suites in the SoBro area of Downtown Nashville.
Located across the street from Nashville’s new 1.2 million square foot convention center, TRUE boasts a generously sized stage, new sound & lighting systems, an eat-in kitchen and a pool that connects through a retractable glass wall for an indoor/outdoor feel.
Both the hotel and concert space soft-opened on Jan. 15, with New York-based KFP Senior Talent Buyer Dave Poe booking the venue. Veteran national hotel operator, Fillmore Hospitality, will manage the hotel.
“Mixing live music venues with other areas of hospitality has long been a part of the Knitting Factory philosophy,” said KFP President Mark Dinerstein. “As operators of mixed-use spaces, it’s only natural we continue to expand the concept. Thankfully, we’ve found ideal partners in Fillmore Hospitality.”
“We’re looking forward to bringing an expertly-curated and highly eclectic mix of shows to the Cambria,” said Poe. “Nashville is the perfect place to launch this exciting and unique venue, where we can showcase countless different kinds of music, from national artists to intimate singer-songwriter showcases to full band events and everything in-between.”
Knitting Factory Entertainment owns and operates three Knitting Factory live music concert venues, and curates talent for a multitude of non-operated venues and events across the country. Owner/partnerships also include the Regent Theater Los Angeles and Arrive Hotel. KFE has designed, built, staffed and continues to run three Federal bar and restaurant entertainment complexes over the past five years as well.
