According to Nashville Lifestyles, Jon Bon Jovi is opening JBJ's Nashville, a honky-tonk bar in the city's Lower Broadway.
Located at 405 Broadway, the multi-level venue is expected to open in the spring. With five floors and two rooftop spaces, JBJ's Nashville will tower over Broadway as the tallest and second largest bar by square footage, boasting 37,000-square-feet. The building's design aligns with the city's Broadway Historic Preservation Overlay, and has entrances on both Broadway and 4th Avenue.
Jon Bon Jovi comments: "We’re looking forward to having a place in Nashville that we call home. When Big Plan Holdings and the team of Josh and Tara Joseph asked us if we were interested, it wasn’t because we were just another rock band, it was because we are a band with deep roots in Nashville. We have had wonderful times in Nashville recording several albums and working with some of the finest people in all the music business. I can’t wait to toast all of Broadway and get to know our neighbors!"
Jon Bon Jovi was recently honoured as the 2024 MusiCares Person of the Year at the 33rd annual Person Of The Year benefit gala.
During a question and answer session, which can be seen here, the 61 year old singer addressed his recent vocal issues and the steps taken to correct them. According to Jon:
"I've had it become public knowledge now, but I've had major reconstructive surgery in my vocal cords, and I never had anything like this ever. So it's been a difficult road, but I found a doctor in Philadelphia who did something called a medialization, because one of my cords was literally atrophied. Sometimes people get nodules; that's a pretty common place. Sometimes deviated septums and things that they've done take its toll on the cords. The only thing that's ever been up my nose has been my finger. And so it was very difficult this last decade to have to contend with something that was out of my control, which was… the strong (vocal cord) was literally taking what was left of the weak one. So they put a plastic implant in it for the last almost two years now. I've been in this rehab, getting it back together, but I'm getting very close. Friday night was my first live performance in two years. The new record's done. So now I just wanna get back to two and a half hours a night, four nights a week, before I'm gonna go out there on the road for real. But I'm confident in my doctor."
