The Bluebird Cafe
A legendary songwriter venue with only about 90 seats, where Taylor Swift was discovered. Tickets must be won or secured in advance.
The Bluebird Cafe is on an unassuming shopping strip in the southern suburbs of Nashville. It is one of the best-known songwriter venues in the United States. Performances are usually “in the round.” Several songwriters sit in the center, taking turns playing songs they have written for famous artists and sharing stories behind them. Taylor Swift was discovered by a record label here at age 14, and the TV series Nashville was also filmed here. The venue has about 90 seats. Online tickets are usually released a week in advance and sell out quickly. You can also try your luck by lining up. Please keep quiet during performances.
Opening hours
Two evening shows, approx. 18:00 and 21:00
