BLK FIER

Private format

A private bonfire night out past the city lights: hayrides out to the tents, a live horn and a DJ by the fire, and a crowd that stays small on purpose. Access runs on our own SMS platform — the invite lands by text, a QR code works the gate, and capacity is enforced at the door. Produced with Lovenoise.

Drunk Couples Live

Live taping

The live edition of Drunk Couples — the talk-show-meets-drinking-game series behind drunkcouples.com. Joe hosts three couples on stage for a filmed, ticketed taping: spin the big wheel, pull no-filter questions, let the audience pile on, and keep the bar busy from 6 to midnight. Booked as a package, it turns your venue into a studio audience for a night.

Where it's run

Drunk Couples LIVE

Roasted @ 90s Flavor Bar · Nashville · One-night ticketed taping · July 2025

drunkcouples.com · The original web series

4A 6PM–midnight arc — the show, then the party after the cameras stop

Karaoke Night

Two formats

Not a laptop-in-the-corner karaoke night. Joe has been hosting karaoke like a show since 2019 — big energy on the mic, a DJ keeping the room moving between singers, and game formats that turn the crowd into the entertainment. It comes in two proven flavors: Bop or Drop, the game-show version we ran at Roasted, and Krazy Karaoke, the weekly Thursday party at Calendars with a $100 contest on the line.

Where it's run

Bop or Drop

Roasted @ 90s Flavor Bar · Nashville · Weekly

Spin the wheel — it lands on a genre. Pick a song from that genre. Can't finish? Take a shot. Themed editions, contestant sign-ups, and half-price drinks till 9 driving the bar.

Krazy Karaoke

Calendars Eats & Lounge · Nashville · Weekly · Thursdays

The weekly Thursday takeover — home of the $100 Krazy Karaoke contest, paired with R&B Bingo. Hosted karaoke with real stakes and a crowd that came back every week.

The Bop or Drop game format — wheel, weekly themes, and song catalog

Mid-Week Happy Hour

Weeknight

A hosted happy hour built for the working crowd that needs a break from the weekly grind. Joe has been Nashville's happy-hour host for over a decade — co-hosting Limelight Happy Hour for 6+ years of Fridays, plus Not Another Happy Hour and Eat Drink Play. He brings the energy, the music, and the regulars — turning a slow off-night into a reliable, low-overhead moneymaker.

Band x Brunch

Daytime

A weekly live-music series built around a rotating independent artist doing a one-to-two-hour, mostly-cover set — paired with brunch and a happy hour to draw a music-loving crowd. The artist gets a consistent stage, and your venue gets a unique night that builds your brand and brings people back. We ran it as #BandAndBrunch with a different artist nearly every week.
