Hot Ticket Set to Open in East Nashville 

Programs involving painting, writing, sculpting, sewing, and other art-minded gatherings could be offered in time.  This is for people to get off their screens and get involved with their neighbors. Bond made sure to let me know that one policy would be “no phones on the dance floor”.  Hot Ticket will be about staying present and living in the moment. Bond regaled about her time as amusician, “I remember when people danced at our shows.  Nobody dances at shows anymore.  If someone starts dancing now, people are like ‘what are you doing?’” As an artist, a fan and a patron of other spots around Nashville, Bond leans into shifting the paradigm. She went on to add, “We all feed off each other’s energy and being in a smaller and more intimate space for that is vital”.  LGTBQ+ events will also be a focal point for Bond and McCoy.  There are promises of Queer Dance Parties and Drag Brunches among those festivities.
