Bluebird Cafe

A classic little hole-in-the-wall place for live music is the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville -- it only seats 90 people max. Songwriters sit "in the round" and tell the stories behind hit songs you hear on the radio (from the actual songwriters who wrote them). Here's what you can expect before you go to the Bluebird Cafe for the first time, photos from our trips to the Bluebird, comparisons to other live music venues, and insider secrets for making reservations at the Bluebird Cafe.
