Bluebird Cafe

Nashville

It's in a strip mall in suburban South Nashville, but don't let that fool you: some of the best original singer-songwriters in country music have graced this tiny stage. Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris and the Cowboy Junkies have all played the Bluebird, which is the setting for the popular CMT television series, Nashville. Try your luck at the Monday open-mic nights.

Pre-plan if you want to score a reservation here. The website has detailed information on the best way to ensure a seating at one of their nightly shows.
