Hi Amy,
SoundCheck Entertainment is right in East Nashville — same neighborhood we've been smoking brisket in since 2015. I'm Derek from Brick & Smoke BBQ.
For entertainment companies doing artist hospitality or crew catering, BBQ is a reliable crowd-pleaser that travels well and doesn't need a lot of plating work on your end. We've catered a few music events in the corridor this year.
Would a tasting or sample box for your team be useful?

Hi Amy,
Following up. Artist riders get complicated, but BBQ is almost universally loved — and Southern Living called us one of the top 10 BBQ joints in the country, so it's a name that lands well in the industry.
We do bulk orders with 24-hour lead time, full packaging for transport. Happy to send a menu.
