Kane Brown is bringing a new entertainment experience to Nashville’s iconic Lower Broadway this summer with the opening of a multi-story bar, restaurant, and live music venue.

The country superstar has teamed up with Elia Group to launch “Kane Brown’s On Broadway,” which will take over the space formerly occupied by The Valentine at 312 Broadway.

“We’ve really taken our time developing the bar. We wanted to make it a place that stands apart from everything else on Lower Broadway. I wanted to build a place that I want to hang out at, my friends want to hang out at and will be an unforgettable experience for anyone who visits. Nights in Nashville are about to hit a little bit different,” Brown shared.

Spanning four vibrant levels and 11,400 square feet, “Kane Brown’s On Broadway” brings together the full range of the singer’s artistry and the lively spirit of Lower Broadway. In his early career, Brown spent countless nights at The Valentine. Now, having the chance to collaborate on a venue of his own is a true full-circle moment. From cheering on the Georgia Bulldogs on Saturdays as a guest to now seeing his name above the entrance, both Kane Brown and Elia Group envisioned a partnership that honors years of deep-rooted connection to the location.

“Our partnership with Kane Brown marks a defining moment for Elia Group and for the city of Nashville,” Zaid Elia, Founder & CEO of Elia Group, stated. “He is a visionary artist who has continually redefined boundaries while remaining deeply rooted in authenticity—a philosophy that mirrors our own approach to hospitality at the highest level. For Elia Group, this collaboration represents the latest milestone in our longstanding and unwavering commitment to Nashville. It underscores our sustained investment in transformative, iconic properties; in immersive, thoughtfully curated design; and in guest experiences that celebrate the city’s rich heritage while actively shaping its vibrant future. We are honored to partner with an artist of Kane Brown’s stature to bring to life a project that is unmistakably Nashville: bold in vision, warm in spirit and unforgettable in every detail.” 

The main floor of Kane Brown’s On Broadway will deliver pure energy, with a full-sized live music stage front and center, surrounded by exposed brick and sleek steel-and-glass details that instantly set the vibe. Up on the mezzanine, fans will get a front-row feel from above, complete with bar service and unbeatable views of the stage, perfect for catching the show or hosting a private hangout. The third-floor lounge takes things up a notch with a cozier, more intimate atmosphere, decked out in warm walnut, platinum records, and handpicked portraits. And then there’s the rooftop,  where Lower Broadway transforms from daytime brunch and frozen cocktails into golden-hour drinks and sunsets, and eventually late-night music, DJs, and cocktails, all with the Nashville skyline as your backdrop.

The announcement of “Kane Brown’s On Broadway” adds yet another highlight to what has already been a memorable year for Brown. In 2025, he released his critically acclaimed album The High Road and launched an arena tour of the same name. He earned his second RIAA Diamond certification with “What Ifs” featuring Lauren Alaina, made a guest appearance on 9-1-1: Nashville, and executive-produced the Lifetime film Thank God: Christmas at Keller Ranch alongside his wife, Katelyn Brown. Most recently, Brown revealed his upcoming single “Woman,” set to drop on March 13

It’s official: Jelly Roll will be inducted as a member of the Grand Ole Opry on Tuesday, March 10, with his friend and duet partner, Opry member Lainey Wilson, inducting him.

The special night will feature performances from his friend and mentor, Opry member Craig Morgan, as well as fellow artists Leanne Morgan, ERNEST, and more, making it a celebration of both his career and the friendships he’s built along the way.

Jelly Roll first received the invitation to join the Opry during an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience last fall. During the interview, Rogan played a surprise video message from Craig Morgan, personally welcoming Jelly Roll into the Opry family.

In the video, Morgan appeared seated in the Grand Ole Opry pews and congratulated Jelly Roll on his accomplishments, while also thanking him for the “positive difference” he has made in the lives of countless fans. 

“You’re doing great work, buddy, and I’ll never forget meeting you on the Grand Ole Opry and how much it meant to me to hear you say my music helped you get through some really tough times. That’s one thing country music does really well,” he said. 

Jelly Roll couldn’t believe his eyes and even tossed his headphones aside when he realized what Morgan had to tell him.

“Who would’ve ever dreamed back then that I’d be back at the Opry house today to say, Jelly Roll, you’re officially invited to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry. It’s an honor to say, welcome to the family brother.”

The “Need A Favor” singer broke down in tears as he realized one of his life-long dreams was about to come true.  

He left the podcast with an inspirational message to listeners : “Somebody out there right now is dreaming of something and it’s too small. Dream bigger baby. Dream bigger baby.”

Jelly Roll made his Grand Ole Opry debut on November 9, 2021, and has made it a priority to return to the Opry stage whenever possible. He has also given back by mentoring artists through the Opry NextStage program and serving as host for Opry NextStage Live shows in Texas.

The Tennessee native’s Grand Ole Opry induction comes on the heels of a remarkable year at the GRAMMY Awards, where he took home every award he was nominated for in 2026. His wins include Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song for “Hard Fought Hallelujah” with Brandon Lake, Best Country Duo/Group Performance for “Amen” with Shaboozey, and Best Contemporary Country Album for his sophomore release, Beautifully Broken, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200.

Tickets to attend the Opry are available HERE.
