Danny Wimmer Presents Opens Downtown Nashville Office

Danny Wimmer Presents (DWP), the leading independent live entertainment company behind many of the largest destination music festivals in the United States, has opened a new office in downtown Nashville. The expansion into Music City marks an exciting new chapter for the company, which has produced premier events across Kentucky, Ohio, Florida, California, and beyond for almost 20 years.

Says Danny Wimmer, Founder of DWP:

“Nashville offers an incredible quality of life that makes it a natural home for our growing team. As DWP has experienced significant growth over the past five years, expanding into a new office in Music City is a strategic step that supports our long-term vision and continued momentum. From affordability and accessibility to the depth of entertainment and culture, it’s a place where people can build meaningful careers and fulfilling lives. We’re already seeing strong interest from top talent, strengthening our ability to recruit, retain, and scale for the future.”

The move further strengthens DWP’s presence in the region, building on the continued success of its flagship Louisville, Kentucky festivals — Bourbon & Beyond and Louder Than Life — located just three hours north of Nashville.

The Nashville office will serve as a central hub for marketing, creative, and administration, led by Boone Vires (SVP, Marketing), Jake Miller (Head of Content & Creative), and Haley Baca (Director of Administration), supported by a rapidly expanding team.

Says Chamie McCurry, GM and CMO of DWP:

“Nashville is one of the most exciting cities in the world for live music — every genre, every generation, and every creative voice is represented here. It’s a place that lives and breathes music, and that energy perfectly matches who we are at our core. With marketing and creativity at the heart of our company, building a strong presence in Music City allows us to stay close to emerging talent, collaborate with the best in the industry, and continue creating experiences that truly connect with fans.”

DWP sold more than one million tickets across its festivals last season and anticipates 2026 will be its biggest year yet. DWP’s portfolio of multi-day experiences celebrates the intersection of music, food, art and community, and includes Aftershock, Bourbon & Beyond, Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival, Louder Than Life, Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival and Welcome To Rockville. Each DWP destination event provides an unforgettable and all-encompassing festival experience featuring reunions, rare shows and special anniversary performances in a unique setting enhanced by additional onsite experiences.

Each festival has its own unique identity, incorporating elements of each distinctive venue setting, as well as regional cuisine and culture. In addition, DWP works closely with local tourism and government representatives, as well as community partners, with events generating substantial economic impact annually in each festival market.

Danny Wimmer Presents is also dedicated to giving back to the people in the communities that host their festivals and has donated over $2.5 million to charitable initiatives supporting local communities via the DWP Foundation.

In addition to festivals, DWP works with a growing network of venues and casino partners to deliver booking, promotion, and event production services that extend its fan-first philosophy beyond the festival grounds.
