Nashville’s people and places: here today, gone tomorrow | Music City Minute

Feb 24, 2026, 1:00 PM | Updated: 1:01 pm

Perpetual change throughout life’s ebb and flow is inescapable. Thankfully, two things always remain constant: time marching forward and a relatable country song. On that note, sweeping winds of change have picked up in Music City lately. Let us start with huge congratulations to Luke and Nicole Combs, who welcome their third baby, a boy named Chet Wiley! I am sure big brothers Tex and Beau warmly welcomed the news of a baby brother. Next, an upscale restaurant in Nashville co-owned by Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan and former MLB player Adam LaRoche has closed its doors. A statement noted the team at E3 Chophouse is exploring new opportunities and a potential rebrand. If E3 Chophouse sounds familiar, it could be because a second one is located in Steamboat Springs. Solely owned by LaRoche, the Colorado location will not be affected by the closure. Finally, Kane Brown has inked a deal to open a venue on the Honky-Tonk Highway. Kane Brown’s On Broadway will be a four-story saloon, include an iconic rooftop bar and set to open this summer. Hey, if we are lucky, these recent headwinds may stir-up new song inspiration too.
I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
