A small, growing group of hospitality and live-music ventures — all built on the same idea: put people in a room and give them something worth listening to.
One of Nashville's premier venues for hit songwriters, housed in the historic International Harvester Building. Two main stage shows run every night of the week, plus two Saturday brunch shows with an exclusive brunch menu.
The stage has hosted talent including Vince Gill, Trisha Yearwood, Chris Stapleton, Garth Brooks, Lainey Wilson, and HARDY. In 2026, The Listening Room celebrated its 20th anniversary with a sold-out show at the Ryman Auditorium.
A 156-room, Marriott-branded hotel bringing The Listening Room's hospitality philosophy to a full stay — warm materials, intentional design, and music woven through the experience rather than performed at it.
A new Listening Room venue anchors the ground floor — live music at the center of the stay, not an afterthought. The property will also include The Hook, a signature bar; outdoor gathering space; and a coffee shop and retail concept, all built around the same "discovery, not display" approach that shaped the original room.
Chris is a co-owner of Trinity Parking, a Nashville-based parking management and valet company he co-founded with Hunter Allison, supporting the city's growing hospitality and event footprint.
Chris's artist management company, where he currently manages recording artist Emmet Stevens Jr. — helping guide the business side of an artist's career so the artist can focus on the music.
A live-performance booking and ticketing platform built for venues and artists who want fair, transparent payouts — starting with The Listening Room's own stages.
TEMPI is currently in beta testing, with a full public launch to follow.
Chris is also an LP investor in a handful of Nashville hospitality concepts:
