Bill Miller, CEO and Founder of Icon Entertainment Group, has been named to the Nashville Post’s 14th annual In Charge list.
It is the seventh consecutive year that Miller has been selected for the prestigious list that recognizes hundreds of business, political and civic leaders who are driving change throughout Middle Tennessee and contributing to the region’s forward trajectory.
“It is an honor to once again be recognized by the Nashville Post along with so many of Music City’s tourism leaders,” said Miller. “I am proud of Icon’s distinctive place in Nashville’s entertainment landscape and I look forward to bringing more unique and compelling concepts to our city as it continues to grow.”
Additionally, two revered Icon establishments are marking important milestones in 2023, with Skull’s Rainbow Room turning 75 years old and the Johnny Cash Museum – recently named the country’s best music museum in the 2023 USA Today/10 Best Readers’ Choice Travel Awards – celebrating its 10th anniversary. This year will also see Icon closing in on completion of luxury lofts and a members-only club in the landmark Southern Turf building (home to both Sinatra Bar & Lounge and Skull’s), as well as a neighborhood bar in East Nashville’s historic Southern Grist building.
Since opening the Johnny Cash Museum in 2013, Icon’s Nashville presence has grown to more than 100,000 square feet of commercial real estate space and also includes thriving ventures like the Patsy Cline Museum, Nudie’s Honky Tonk, House of Cards, Johnny Cash’s Bar & BBQ and the Music City Threads merchandise line. The company employs roughly 400 individuals and has welcomed millions of visitors from around the world to its establishments.
