Willie Geist Brings Sunday Sitdown LIVE to Nashville with Luke Combs
NBC’s Willie Geist is taking his popular Sunday Sitdown series on the road for the first time. He is set to host a live show in Nashville featuring country music star Luke Combs.
The event will take place at City Winery on January 19. Geist previously taped an episode in New York with comedian Nate Bargatze, drawing an audience that traveled nationwide.
Geist has a strong connection to Nashville, being a Vanderbilt University graduate who considers the city a second home. He emphasized that after New York City, Nashville was the only place to bring the live sitdown next.
“We wanted to invite our viewers into the room with us and get kind of see how the sausage is made, ask some questions, be an interactive part of the conversation,” Geist said. This approach aims to create a more intimate experience between the host, guest, and audience.
Tickets for the live event are in varying availability. While some VIP ticket levels have sold out, general admission tickets remain available for purchase. VIP tickets include access to a pre-show reception, allowing attendees to meet Geist and take photos.
The Sunday Sitdown series features in-depth conversations with notable figures in entertainment, adding a personal touch to the traditional interview format. Bringing this format live to Nashville highlights the city’s cultural significance in the music industry.
City Winery, the venue for the event, has become a popular spot for live performances and unique live experiences. Hosting the Sunday Sitdown there aligns with its reputation for intimate shows and audience engagement.
Fans of Luke Combs and Willie Geist can expect an engaging conversation that dives into Combs’ career and insights. This live taping promises to offer fresh perspectives not commonly seen in regular television interviews.
The move to bring Sunday Sitdown live to different cities opens new opportunities for audience participation and expands the show’s reach beyond the television screen. Geist’s choice of Nashville underscores the city’s influence in the country music scene and beyond.
