NASHVILLE, Tenn. (CelebrityAccess) – Eastside Bowl, a multi-venue entertainment facility located in Nashville’s Madison suburb, has announced the launch of a new small club space, “The ’58.”
’58, located in a former restaurant with a capacity of 225, will fill what the venue operator sees as a niche for small rock clubs in the East Nashville market, joining Eastside’s existing 600-plus-seat main venue and low-capacity lounge stage.
The venue’s name comes from the color scheme of the room’s interior, which features a mix of gold paint on a 1958 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop that was purchased specifically for Eastside Bowl by Gibson Guitar Company.
Eastside Bowl has announced that senior talent buyer John Bruton has joined the company to oversee bookings for the new venue, joining Santo Pullella who has held the dual role of senior talent buyer and venue operations manager since November 2022.
“Having a two-part vertical venue model for nurturing artists in this city is something I’m excited about. We do our best here to continually evolve the arts and create space for artists to express themselves, and space for fans to discover and share, said Santo Pullella, Talent Buyer and Venue Operations Manager.
“Shortly after retiring, I realized how much I missed being a talent buyer. I felt like the Eastside Bowl and The 58 would be a great fit for me,” added talent buyer John Bruton.
