Working the Tip Jar: Patronage and Culture in the Control of Service Workers on Nashville’s Honky-Tonk Row

How does the entertainment engine of downtown Nashville pattern tip work? Further, how do musicians working for tips in Nashville’s entertainment industry navigate the risky experience of tip work? Drawing on two years of multi-organizational ethnography in Nashville’s honky-tonk clubs, this presentation follows the lives of four honky-tonk musicians at different career stages through a neo-feudal employment landscape.

Presented By: Adam Schoenbachler, Sociology Department, Vanderbilt University
