Owen McAllister is a Nashville writer and musician whose professional life straddles the entertainment industry and the service economy. He spent years touring in a bluegrass band and managing a busy honky-tonk on Broadway before channeling that experience into writing. Owen now covers hospitality, live events, and the creative arts with the voice of someone who’s been on both sides of the stage and the bar. His work is full of practical tips for venue owners, artists, and tourism professionals. He holds a degree in communications from Belmont University and still plays mandolin in a weekly residency. Owen believes a well-run venue can change a neighborhood, and a well-written article can change a business.
