We’ve finally finished the new site. Stay tuned for more as we roll this out further.

I’m pleased to announce that Daniel Douchette has acquired my interest in Fork’s Drum Closet effective immediately.   I couldn’t be happier here, because one of our goals when we acquired Fork’s was for it to one day go back to local ownership. Daniel has been with Fork’s for most of his adult life, devoting himself to the business during the time of ownership by the Forkum family, and also with us since we purchased it in 2018. Daniel is ideally suited to taking Fork’s forward and continuing to serve the wonderful Nashville community, and we wish him all the best in this initiative. Daniel is the future of Fork’s and that future is in very good hands. Congratulations Daniel!  -Steve Maxwell
