Not wanting to be left out, Old Dominion has announced that they, too, are opening up a Nashville bar. The band announced on Instagram that their bar, Odie’s, would be coming in the summer of 2024. Old Dominion’s Trevor Rosen spoke on the idea for Odie’s: "We wanted it to be a place where a group of songwriters who might have a band could play, or someone starting out might be able to be part of a writers thing and get heard. You know, pay it forward because all these years later, we know it works. That’s much better than just a temple to who we think we are." The bar will be located on Division Street, in what used to be ReBar, and is expected to open next summer. See the announcement below...

"It’s a Lone Star anthem honoring the people, places and personas that have made the state a lil’ bigger than the rest,” adds lead singer Mark Wystrach. Check out "Up In Texas" below...
