Caitlyn’s Nashville To-Do List: Live Music Edition

Writer’s Rounds / Original Music:
Please leave Broadway. I beg you! Broadway is (mostly) cover bands and although it’s a whole vibe, if you want to hear what makes Nashville so special, venture out of downtown. Nashville is home to so many incredible songwriters. Go hear them singing their hits or their next hits. You may not recognize them, but you’ll probably recognize some of their songs.

• • Bluebird Cafe – It’s a classic and one of the most well known historic spaces in Nashville for songwriters. It is, however, hard to get tickets because it’s a teeny tiny venue.

• • The Listening Room – A great option that you can easily buy tickets for. Usually tickets are under $20/ each.

• • Live Oak – No ticket/cover to get in. Usually different writers/acoustic performances every day of the week. This is a bar. They have food and drinks and usually some really great writers/performers! Pretty chill vibe. (Pro Trip: Go on a Wednesday. Start at Tailgate Brewery and Pizza for half price dine-in pizza, then walk down the street to enjoy some live music).

• • The Local – Super chill vibes, right by Centennial Park / Parthenon, so there is also plenty of free parking around (amen). Another bar that hosts writers’ rounds.

• • Station Inn – This intimate venue is filled with incredibly talented musicians. It’s mosty bluegrass and bluegrass inspired tunes. I would definitely recommend!

• • The Palace – You can go for line-dancing in the back dance hall, but up front near the bar they always have artists playing more traditional country western or bluegrass music. I have seen so many talented acoustic and full-band shows here. If you like fiddles, steel guitars, or even the occasional standing-bass, this place is for you!
