The beginnings, shows, performances, interviews, and behind-the-scenes history of NashTalk at Donatos Music Row in Nashville.
“Chris helped us in growing our sales by 25.2% for the first event, and 77.6% for the second event.”
— Hadley M. Handel, General Manager, Donatos Nashville
Before NashTalk’s Donatos Music Row chapter, the venue had no regular music programming. Chris volunteered his time to schedule, organize, and host the events — and the results were measurable, helping prove the NashTalk concept in its earliest days.
