COMING SOON TO NASHVILLE: TANYA TUCKER’S TEQUILA CANTINA
March 27, 2024
Nashville, TN (March 27, 2024) – Country Icon Tanya Tucker partners with Nashville’s Nudie’s Honky Tonk on Lower Broadway.
Together, they will unveil Tanya Tucker’s Tequila Cantina, a vibrant pop-up, set to open its doors on May 2.
The second floor of Nudie’s will transform into a lively cantina-style bar, reflecting the spirit and charisma of Tanya Tucker herself. Patrons can expect an immersive experience that captures Tanya’s unique personality and love for fun.
Highlighted by the partnership will be Tanya Tucker’s own tequila brand, Cosa Salvaje, featured prominently in a variety of cantina-inspired cocktails. Accompanying the spirited libations will be a reimagined menu, carefully curated to complement the theme and enhance the overall experience for guests. The menu will be developed by Executive Chef Bryan Lareau who has extensive background in West Coast and authentic Mexican cuisine.
Nudie’s owner, Bill Miller, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, “Shannon and I are thrilled to partner with our dear friend country music legend and icon Tanya Tucker on this incredible pop up. The three of us spent an entire day tasting cocktails crafted by our bartenders at Sinatra Bar & Lounge, Nudie’s and The Southern Turf Club all containing Cosa Salvaje as the primary spirit. This is going to be the most monumental popup Nashville has ever seen. Adding Tanya to the mix makes this project fun, exciting and adventurous, just like she is!”
A longtime customer of Nudie's Rodeo Tailors, Tanya Tucker shared her excitement, exclaiming, “I’m over the moon about Tanya Tucker's Tequila Cantina. It’s been a dream for several years to join the big boys on Broadway and Bill and Shannon Miller are making it all possible. They've done what no one else could do and I am so grateful. I can't wait for the grand opening on May 2. I will be there walking on air!!!!”
Born in Seminole, Texas, Tanya had her first country hit, the classic “Delta Dawn,” at the age of 13 in 1972. Since that auspicious beginning, she has become one of the most admired and influential artists in country music history, amassing 23 Top 40 albums and a stellar string of 56 Top 40 singles, ten of which reached the No. 1 spot on the Billboard country charts. Tanya’s indelible songs include some of country music’s biggest hits such as the aforementioned “Delta Dawn,” “Soon,” “Two Sparrows in a Hurricane,” “It’s a Little Too Late,” “Trouble,” “Texas (When I Die),” “If It Don’t Come Easy” and “Strong Enough To Bend.” Tanya is also the recipient of numerous awards, including two CMAs, two ACMs and three CMT awards. In 2020, Tanya received two GRAMMY® Awards for Best Country Album: While I’m Livin’ and Best Country Song: “Bring My Flowers Now.” In October 2022 “The Return of Tanya Tucker, Featuring Brandi Carlile,” a documentary that chronicles the resurgence in Tucker’s career following the success of her aforementioned 2019 album While I’m Livin’, hit theaters globally via Sony Pictures Classics. Lauded by The New York Times, the documentary raves that Tanya “hasn’t lost a step in terms of phrasing. The teardrop in her voice, strategically used in heartache songs, remains credible. [The doc] interweaves the contemporary sessions…better-than-competent piece of fan service.” In December 2022, Tanya made her acting debut in a lead role in Paramount’s “A Nashville Country Christmas,” starring alongside Academy Award® winner Keith Carradine. On the spirits side, the country icon’s signature tequila, Tanya Tucker’s Cosa Salvaje Tequila, is now available in 14 U.S. states and Canada, with additional stores carrying the tequila every day.
