What Are the Conductors
- The Conductors were founded in 1982 by a group of friends in Nashville who shared a passion for leather culture.
- Over more than four decades, they have become one of the longest-standing gay social and service clubs in the city.
- The club is part of a tradition of Leather/Levi clubs in the United States that blend social connection, community support, and leather culture.
Mission and Community Work
- In their early years, the Conductors recognized the importance of giving back. They organized charity events such as food drives, worked with local organizations, and contributed to early community AIDS-relief efforts.
- They have maintained a long-standing commitment to social responsibility, offering support to those in the community in need, especially during health crises and times of hardship.
- Through these efforts, the Conductors helped broaden acceptance of leather culture in Nashville’s gay community — helping turn what was once risky or fringe into a respected subculture.
What They Do
- The Conductors host regular club-nights at their “home bar,” currently listed as TRAX in Nashville.
- They organize annual “runs” (weekend gatherings) that bring together members and guests for fellowship, leather/Levi culture, socializing, and community building.
- These runs typically feature leather-community events and provide a social opportunity for people interested in leather, kink, and community.
- The club environment emphasizes respect, consent, and a sense of brotherhood (and sisterhood), welcoming people of many backgrounds who share an interest in leather and community.
Why the Conductors Matter
- The Conductors are part of the legacy of Leather/Levi clubs that preserved and passed on leather culture, values, and community when mainstream acceptance was rare. Their early willingness to be visible and charitable helped pave the way for broader acceptance.
- Their ongoing work shows that leather culture is not just about gear or nightlife, but about community, solidarity, support, and history. The Conductors help keep that living tradition alive.
- For people exploring leather, Levi, or kink culture — or seeking a welcoming, affirming community — the Conductors represent a stable, long-established entry point grounded in respect, support, and shared values.
