RYAN AVIATION GROUP and AUTOBUS launch event brought an exclusive crowd together on Wednesday evening (Oct. 30) in Nashville, Tennessee for an invite-only HANGER PARTY featuring a performance from Country star Nate Smith. The event celebrated the official launch of AUTOBUS, a boutique tour bus venture created by Jeremy Maul in partnership with Prevost and marked the official arrival of Dan Ryan’s RYAN AVIATION GROUP in Music City.
Hosted in a private hangar at the Nashville International Airport, the star-studded event allowed entertainment industry professionals a firsthand look at the level of comfort and innovation that the two company offer. RYAN AVIATION GROUP showcased their Gulfstream G-IV SP, one of the first private jets fully equipped with cutting-edge Starlink technology. Meanwhile, AUTOBUS displayed its luxurious X3-45 VIP Entertainer tour bus, which is 100% customizable and adaptable to the client’s liking, providing top-tier travel experiences for performers and crews on the road.
Guests also got to enjoy exquisite craft cocktails and an array of culinary treats, courtesy of The Electric Jane, whose new private membership club is expanding to include a cigar lounge, complementing their existing restaurant and full production stage. Additionally, professional photographer Katie Kauss captured epic photos of guests on the tarmac in a vintage automobile during sunset.
Before Nate Smith took the stage, hosts Jeremy Maul and Dan Ryan expressed their gratitude to attendees and shared some background on their vision for RYAN AVIATION GROUP and AUTOBUS.
“I am just blown away that all you people have showed up here today. This is insane,” Ryan shared on stage in front of the exclusive audience. “We’re not here to sell anything, just to put a vibe together, meet people and have a good time. We’re here to say thank you, thank you for welcoming us to Nashville. We strive to make people feel special. We put our heart into it. And we don’t care about all the stuff that goes into the lax and luxury – we pay attention to it, but if you’re not putting your heart in it and not making people feel special, then we’re not doing our job.”
“This event stemmed from a little vision that Dan and I had on our morning runs of bringing two companies together in Nashville,” Maul added. “Both of us moved here from California a few years ago and have synergies between us, and we want to bring good people together.”
As industry professionals mingled, Nate Smith closed out the event with a performance that included some of his biggest hits such as “Whiskey On You,” “World On Fire,” “Bulletproof” and more.
The ACM New Male Artist of the Year performance rounded out an evening that celebrated the two companies, RYAN AVIATION GROUP and AUTOBUS, and allowed the guests to network.
