When he first arrived in Nashville sight unseen, Ron Brice was just here for a job — running a video arcade. So how did a Michigander with no background in music aside from being a fan end up owning one of the city's most important independent venues? That story involves a gym, a professional wrestler, a Mexican restaurant and a whole lot of sweat equity.
The club Ron eventually opened up, Third & Lindsley, has hosted some of the city's best musicians for three decades, with some updates to the sound system and floor plan along the way. In a changing Music City, it's one of the last indie venues standing. And with a brand new lease, they will keep that tradition going for at least a few more years.
