Shure Celebrates 25+ Years in Nashville with Expanded Office in Rock Nashville Complex

NASHVILLE, July 30, 2026 — From Tootsies to the Ryman and the Grand Ole Opry, Shure has been part of the music community in Nashville for more than 25 years -- enabling musicians and engineers to sound extraordinary.

Shure is celebrating 25 years of having an office in Nashville and expanding into the newly built Rock Nashville facility, a 600,000-square-foot production campus -- the largest purpose-built music campus in the world with 13 rehearsal studios and two arena rehearsal studios.

Even beyond the 25 years of having an office in Nashville, Shure has been supporting the area for decades. Whether it was supporting local independent music venues, or helping artists impacted by the floods in 2010, or supporting music creativity at home through the pandemic, Shure has been here supporting the resilient Nashville community.

Several Nashville performers, audio professionals, and civic leaders helped “dedicate” the new office space with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Shure also presented a check to ECCHO Live, a Nashville-based organization that provides resources to individuals in the touring industry such as mental health services, financial coaching, and full year-round programming, including on-site support at festivals and events.

The Company has been part of the Nashville family for years, even before they had a physical office there.

“Shure has supported country music for decades. Reps from Shure’s Evanston factory would drive a truckload of gear to Nashville for Fan Fair every year to help facilitate that event,” said Chuck Young, retired Director of Production & Technical Services at Opry Entertainment Group. “Even before the Grand Ole Opry House was built in 1974, Shure supplied microphones and a Vocal Master PA at our original Ryman Auditorium home. That partnership has flourished for more than 50 years, and we still use Shure mics and IEMs for the longest-running radio show in history. With more than 300 Opry shows per year, hundreds of performers, and three-minute set changes, gear performance and reliability are paramount in our venues. We get that, along with great engineering support from Shure.”

Both founded in 1925, the Grand Ole Opry and Shure share a rich history together, with music and cultural icons trusting Shure microphones on the Opry stage. During the Grand Ole Opry 100th Celebration, it featured a procession of artists who relied on Shure audio technology as they honored the legacy of the iconic country music institution.

When Opryland USA opened in 1972, Shure was there, providing an array of microphones for performances.

“Nashville has always been an important part of Shure’s history and we’re proud to grow our presence there as we continue to support the community,” said Chris Schyvinck, President and CEO at Shure.

Dave Mustaine, co-founder and frontman of Megadeth added his congratulations to Shure.

"Being a staunch believer in Shure microphones, since I first saw one being swung by Roger Daltry, and used by all the great singers when I started, I was a believer,” said Mustaine. “That was an SM58, and I was convinced. Now I use Shure's Beta 58A. My guitar microphones are also Shure as well--the famous SM57, as being used by almost all the guitarists I respected. At this point, I knew I wanted to be a Shure endorser too.

Mustaine also added praise for Shure’s Nashville-based lead.

“Shure has a secret weapon at their Nashville location, to go with their exceptional audio equipment: Artist Relations Manager Ryan Smith,” said Mustaine. “Ryan can be found most any day at the convenient Shure location at Soundcheck Rehearsals at Rock Nashville, expertly handling his clients and addressing their needs.”
