Located in Nashville's Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood, The Truth is a 4,400-capacity live music venue that celebrates the city's rich musical heritage and creative spirit. Powell contributed interior design services to the project, helping create an immersive hospitality experience that extends beyond the stage.

Inspired by Nashville's songwriting traditions and the neighborhood's industrial character, the interiors embrace an honest, tactile approach to design. Real materials take center stage—brick, concrete, blackened steel, natural wood, and rich textiles are celebrated for their inherent character rather than concealed behind imitation finishes. The result is a layered, timeless environment that feels authentic to its surroundings.

Local craftsmanship and artistry are woven throughout the experience, with contributions from Nashville makers, artisans, and artists adding depth and a distinct sense of place. Thoughtfully selected materials, custom details, and expressive lighting create a balance between industrial simplicity and warm, inviting hospitality.

From the amber glow of Harlan's whiskey bar to the intimate atmosphere of The Vinyl Room and the energy of the rooftop, each space offers its own experience while remaining connected through a cohesive design language.

The result is a dynamic entertainment destination where music, interior design, and hospitality come together—creating a venue that feels unmistakably Nashville.
