THE PLUG

Joel Edwards

Owner of Evolve IMG

Nashville is one of the most unique & distinct cities in the world. The artist/entrepreneur spirit here harbors some incredibly talented & un-tapped creative minds which is why we’re thrilled to be part of the NFG community. Their goal to foster and provide a meeting place for these talents is what Nashville was in desperate need of.
