Over the past eight years, Main Street Live’s operation has been handled by Josh Qualls along with his family and friends. The venue hosted such events as weekly college nights, ladies’ nights, major touring musical artists and EDM parties. Some of the biggest electronic music shows to hit the music hall over the past year include EOTO, Bro Safari and Wick-It the Instigator.

Qualls’s production company, Bass Warp Presents, has also begun to throw shows in Nashville with acts such as Diesel Boy, and the company predicts via Facebook to host Brillz, Marty Party, Infected Mushroom and other EDM shows at a new location to be called Tempt. That venue will occupy the former On the Rocks location (211 W. Main St.) and will have a similar atmosphere to the EDM shows Qualls promoted during his time at 527.

Tempt will host Skism, Victor Niglio and Crnkn on March 12 and Luminox (pictured above) on March 14. Qualls will also make the club available for rentals and shows brought in by outside music production companies.

“We will have a very open, usable space with a really great opportunity for something new at this venue,” Qualls said. “We will hopefully get a lot of foot traffic being on the Square. We are working with a lot of Nashville production companies and should have a good Nashville/Murfreesboro blend of guests.”

The venue will continue to host an 18-and-up crowd as well as other opportunities during the week, such as songwriter nights, DJ nights and typical bar nights.

“We are happy to be bringing name acts to a city that at the moment does not have a lot of large live shows,” Qualls said.
