Eastside Bowl opens The ’58, a new club in Nashville

NASHVILLE, TN (CelebrityAccess) — Eastside Bowl, the multi-venue entertainment facility in the Nashville suburb of Madison, announced the opening of a new intimate club space, the “’58.”

Housed in a former diner, the 225-seat ’58 will fill what the venue’s operators see as a niche for a small rock club in the East Nashville market, joining Eastside’s existing 600-plus-seat main venue and the Low Volume Lounge stage, which continues The Family Wash’s “neighborhood stage” legacy.

The venue takes its name from the color scheme inside the room, which uses the gold color mix of a 1958 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop that Gibson Guitars donated to the Eastside Bowl as a special purchase.

Eastside Bowl announced that experienced talent buyer John Bruton has joined the company to oversee bookings for the new venue. He joins Santo Pullella, who has held the dual role of Senior Talent Buyer and Venue Operations Manager since November 2022.

“I’m excited to have two parts of the vertical venue model for emerging artists in this city. We are here to do our best and evolve to give artists space to express themselves and fans the opportunity to discover and share,” says Talent Buyer and Venue Operations Manager Santo Pullella.

“Shortly after I retired, I realized how much I missed working as a talent buyer. I believe Eastside Bowl and The 58 are a perfect fit for me,” added talent buyer John Bruton.
