Nashville's Newest Music Venue Announced in Wedgewood Houston
Live Nation and AJ Capital Partners revealed details of Nashville's newest live music venue under construction in the Wedgewood Houston neighborhood, including its name: "The Truth."
The Truth will be a 4,400-capacity state-of-the-art venue, with nods to Nashville's songwriter community woven throughout its DNA, from the name of the venue to its partnership with Nashville Songwriters Association International and the W.O. Smith Music School. The three-level venue's name, The Truth, comes from songwriter Harlan Howard's famous quote that all you need to write a country song is "three chords and the truth."
Sally Williams, Live Nation's president of Nashville music and business strategy, said as they planned the venue, the North Star was to create a building that could only exist in Nashville. "We didn't want the black box with a stage that you could pick up and put anywhere in the world," Williams said. "Nashville deserves to have a building that acknowledges its foundation, which is the creators. That led us down a path of being able to imagine a building that is a love letter to Nashville's truth and roots, but also a promise to its future."
