This 6/08/2006 article offers reasons why Nashville clubs don't attract more local fans.
Nashville Scene - Wish You Were Here: "Rick Whetsel of Great Big Shows, which owns Exit/In and also books acts at other area clubs, says his company doesn’t compete with other live venues for crowds; it competes with movies, television and living rooms across the city. Terry Cantrell, who ran Cantrell’s back in the ’80s and currently manages Springwater, says audiences in Nashville are so accustomed to live music that they’ve gotten spoiled and now expect it without paying for it. Bruce Fitzpatrick, who has booked rock and punk bands in Nashville for over 20 years, says people are just apathetic, that the spirit of musical discovery isn’t what it used to be."
