Early life edit

He worked as a ranch hand in junior high school and sold firewood door-to-door as a teenager. He continued to pursue entrepreneurial interests following his high school graduation.[1]
Career edit
Roth took seven companies public prior to founding Roth Industries.[4] In 2014 he opened his first restauraunt, Bourbon Brothers Smokehouse & Tavern,[5] and in 2016, to develop upscale entertainment venues in cities with growing populations and limited live music options, he founded Notes Live. In 2019 he opened Boot Barn Hall, a 1400-capacity live music venue adjacent to Bourbon Brothers Smokehouse & Tavern.[6] He resigned as chairman and CEO of Roth Industries to focus on Notes Live in 2021. His son, Mitchell Roth, succeeded him as CEO of Roth Industries.[7]
In April 2022, Notes Live announced the development of The Sunset, a $40-million 8000-seat open-air amphitheater in Colorado Springs scheduled to open in 2023.[8] The development of a 4500-seat open-air amphitheater, The Sunset Music Colosseum on the Stones River, was announced in May 2022. A public-private partnership in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, it was also announced that the 18-acre entertainment complex would include a 1400-capacity Boot Barn Hall and a Bourbon Brothers Smokehouse & Tavern.[9][10] Construction on an entertainment campus that covered a city block in Gainesville, Georgia began in July 2022.[11]
In October 2022, Roth was featured as an "All Star" in the live entertainment industry trade magazine, Venues Now.[12] The Sunset in Colorado Springs and the Sunset Music Coloseum on the Stones River appeared on the Billboard magazine list of Venues to Watch in 2022.[13]
