NASHVILLE, TN — Visionary artist, music producer, and entrepreneur Jason Hollis has officially put his stamp on Music City with the grand revival of one of its most historic venues.
Formerly known as the legendary Douglas Corner, the space has been reborn as The Eighth Room—a glamorous fusion of Nashville’s storied past and bold, modern creativity.
From Louisiana to Los Angeles and now firmly rooted in Nashville, Hollis has built a career at the crossroads of art, music, and innovation.
Teaming up with his wife, Erin Hollis, the couple transformed the venue into a sensory experience that’s part rock ’n’ roll fantasy, part upscale lounge—drawing inspiration from cultural landmarks like The Viper Room and Max’s Kansas City.
Inside, guests are greeted by vintage chandeliers, Versace wallpaper, licensed Andy Warhol prints, and Hollis’ own electrifying artwork—making The Eighth Room as visually unforgettable as the performances it hosts.
The venue is already generating buzz for its surprise pop-up performances from industry icons, including members of Queen, and for its growing reputation as Nashville’s go-to hotspot for celebrities, music lovers, and creatives alike.
Hollis is also expanding the brand’s reach with ventures in craft vodka, American lager, and even a signature room scent spray.
Known in the industry simply as “Hollis,” his creative portfolio includes collaborations with Justin Timberlake, Pharrell, and work on groundbreaking music television projects such as Motown Magic (Netflix) and Best Cover Ever (YouTube), featuring Katy Perry and Keith Urban.
He’s played a pivotal role in launching and elevating bands like The Fray and The Pink Spiders, shaping modern music culture from behind the scenes.
“Work hard, play hard—that’s how I’ve always lived,” Hollis says. “The Eighth Room is more than a venue. It’s a living, breathing space for music, art, and unforgettable experiences.”
With its unique blend of history, style, and world-class performances, The Eighth Room is poised to become a crown jewel in Nashville’s nightlife and live music scene.
