Too Opinionated Interview: Jason Hollis

Jason Hollis is a visual artist, entrepreneur, music producer, trailblazer, and now the owner of one of Nashville’s historic and legendary music venues, formerly known as Douglas Corner, and now The Eighth Room. Hollis and his wife Erin have transformed the venue, while preserving and respecting its rich history while also drawing inspiration from The Viper Room and Max’s Kansas City. The Eighth Room is a hybrid of historical charm and modern flamboyance, thanks to Erin’s incredible design vision. From vintage chandeliers to Versace wallpaper, licensed Andy Warhol prints as well as Hollis' original rock n’ roll artwork, the venue is a visual masterpiece, making it the go-to venue in Nashville. Hollis is in the early stages of developing his own vodka, American lager as well as a branded room scent spray.  On any given night, customers can expect celeb sightings and random pop-up shows with legendary bands, including Queen. Known simply as ‘Hollis’; he has collaborated with legends like Justin Timberlake and Pharrell, and played a significant role in pioneering and directing the music TV series, "Motown Magic" (Netflix) as well as YouTube's first branded music show, "Best Cover, Ever" (featuring Katy Perry, Keith Urban). He has been instrumental in helping bands like The Fray achieve their fullest potential and oversaw The Pink Spiders' bi-coastal bidding war.     Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)
