Founded in 2016 by industry veteran Andrew Kintz, the group has evolved from a local initiative into a robust financial platform serving clients nationwide. Today, the division operates out of Nashville, Atlanta, and Miami, providing tailored banking solutions for high-profile individuals and firms within the entertainment sector. The bank’s commitment to this niche is anchored by a leadership team that includes Kintz, alongside Managing Directors Bryan Bolton and Ben James.
First Horizon Bank Marks Decade of Specialized Entertainment Banking
Ten years after its inception in Nashville, the Music, Sports and Entertainment Group at First Horizon Bank is celebrating a decade of expansion. The specialty division, which began as a focused effort to serve industry professionals, has grown into a cross-regional operation with over 20 experts across three key hubs.

Bolton, who joined the firm at its founding in 2016, oversees the music vertical, focusing on long-term client relationships and capital strategy. Meanwhile, Ben James manages the Atlanta and Coral Gables offices, leveraging his 24 years of industry experience to integrate private banking and corporate services. For Kintz, the group’s success stems from a philosophy that prioritizes human connection over simple transactions. As First Horizon Bank reports $84.4 billion in assets, this specialized group remains a central pillar in the company’s broader strategy to support the creative economy with both capital and professional counsel.
