The couple, who met at Carson Tahoe’s first HopeFest benefit concert in 2011, for patients navigating their cancer diagnosis, says the Nashville Social Club expresses their core values. “Our careers are our calling and we love what we do, so that won’t change,” Kitty says, adding “we look forward to joining up with some super talented people who share our vision for making this a place where people can feel the genuine caring we’re putting into each aspect.” Since neither plan to leave their day jobs, they acknowledge it’s going to be a big undertaking. Locally she is well-known for her commitment to community and advocacy work, as well as for serving as Director of the Patient Experience at Carson Tahoe Health. Kitty owned and operated the popular Wild Alaskan restaurants, with locations in Incline Village and Reno for many years, following years spent living in Japan while working in the Japanese fashion industry. Procaccini and business partner John Pappenfort operated that music venue from 2001 to 2005 and brought in big names including Booker T, Leon Russel and Jessie Colin Young.
Longtime Carson City residents may also remember the Up Stage Theater. He also produced the long running Capital City Music series, and the successful Greenhouse Project’s Concert Under the Stars, which ran for 12 years and featured headliners such as Tower of Power, Jefferson Starship and The Little River Band. It includes performers Michael McDonald, America and Rita Coolidge, among others, while operating the Sierra Starlight Amphitheater in Genoa. He has managed and produced tours for music super stars including The Doobie Brothers and Peter Frampton and the list of headlining acts he’s brought to Northern Nevada is extensive. John, who is currently Vice President of Operations and Touring for Base Entertainment, brings decades of music industry experience to the project. In the past, Carson City has embraced the events I’ve produced in the area, so I think people will really enjoy what we are putting together here.” “We will have soft acoustic acts in the dining and bar areas, and larger, ticketed touring acts in the Music Hall. John plans to have live music several evenings per week. “The recipe testing and sampling has been super yummy.” “We’ll also offer a variety of options for gluten free, keto and plant-based diets,” Kitty explains. The couple says the Club will dish up lunch and dinner, as well as a Sunday Brunch, with a focus on modern southern style dishes.
You could say the birth of the Nashville Social Club is our COVID silver lining.” When Covid shut down live entertainment, I had the time to put together this plan,” he said, with Kitty adding, “the pandemic allowed John to focus on planning what he loves to do, which is WOW-ing people with music and entertainment experiences.
“After spending years on the road, decades in fact, touring with various acts, I wanted to bring something special to Carson City. John says he’s wanted to do something like this for a long time.
