Holographic Welcome: Dierks Bentley's Newest Experience at Nashville International Airport
In an innovative twist to enhance visitor experiences, Nashville International Airport (BNA) has recently introduced a life-sized hologram of country music icon Dierks Bentley. This exciting installation, launched by Bentley’s own ROW 94 Whiskey, runs from June 2 to July 31, aiming to create a memorable welcome for travelers arriving in Music City.
A Unique Cultural Experience
Dierks Bentley, a multi-platinum country music star, founded ROW 94 Whiskey with the vision of crafting a bourbon that reflects both his passion for country music and the essence of shared experiences. The hologram serves as more than just a visual spectacle; it narrates the story behind ROW 94 while guiding passengers to exciting tasting opportunities and drink specials at The Pharmacy Burger Parlor, a highly rated local eatery located in the airport's A/B Rotunda.
According to Doug Kreulen, president and CEO of the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority, “As a former Commissioner and friend to the airport, we’re excited to have Dierks Bentley's ROW 94 hologram to welcome travelers this summer.” This initiative is part of a broader commitment to enhance the travel experience for all who pass through the airport.

First introduced last September at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, this hologram is making its second appearance at BNA, reinforcing Bentley's strong ties to the Nashville community. Bentley’s whiskey is named in part after ROW, a historic area of Nashville’s Music Row, marking its dual significance.
With its upcoming two-year anniversary, ROW 94 has expanded its product lineup to include Broken Branches Bourbon alongside the original formula. Fans can enjoy a refreshing Dierks’ Lemonade cocktail made with ROW 94 at The Pharmacy Burger Parlor, showcasing the whiskey's versatility and appealing flavor.
