Contractors working on the Trueline music venue in downtown Greenville have filed mechanic’s liens alleging unpaid debts against the project developer, Trueline Greenville LLC, and Hellbilly Reserves LLC, the registered owner of the property at 401 Rhett St..
Charlotte-based Steel Fab Inc. filed a mechanic’s lien naming Trueline Greenville LLC, Hellbilly Reserves LLC and project general contractor Brasfield & Gorrie LLC with the Greenville County Register of Deeds on April 14 for $1.27 million in unpaid labor and materials costs associated with the project.
Brasfield & Gorrie LLC filed a mechanic’s lien with the Register of Deeds April 16 naming Trueline Greenville LLC and Hellbilly Reserves LLC for $3.51 million in unpaid labor and materials.
A mechanic’s lien is typically used to guarantee payment for contractors or laborers on a project. The lien is filed against the property.
When contacted about the legal filings, founder and CEO of Trueline Brands Michael Grozier provided the following written statement: “Construction on Trueline is progressing as we work through the final stages of project financing. In partnership with Brasfield & Gorrie, we anticipate entering the final phase of construction shortly, with an opening targeted for early 2027. We remain committed to delivering a world-class venue and look forward to sharing its impact with the Greenville community.”
Trueline Greenville is a 34,000-square-foot music venue being developed at the corner of Rhett and Wardlaw streets in Greenville’s West End. Plans call for a 1,700 capacity performance space with tiered seating and a mezzanine.
The project broke ground in April 2024 and celebrated the topping out phase of construction in October 2025.
