The Bluebird Cafe listening-room

The Bluebird Cafe is an intimate, reservation-focused listening room that opened in 1982 and is credited with helping launch the careers of numerous Nashville songwriters. The venue seats under 100 people and is well known for 'writers-in-the-round' shows where songwriters perform and tell the stories behind their songs. Its small size and emphasis on songwriting culture make it a long-standing local industry and music-community institution.
