The Famous Cafe In Nashville Everyone Needs To Visit Once In Their Life
The Bluebird Cafe is a place of Nashville legend. Famously the place where Taylor Swift and Garth Brooks played before their careers skyrocketed, where country legends pitch up for a quick show and you see all the songwriters behind your favorite twangy tunes. This is a place unlike any other, one that has built the country music industry from the ground up. Let's take a quick tour, shall we? Then you can grab a ticket and sit in on a show!
Established in 1982, The Bluebird Cafe is known as one of the top listening rooms in the world. It's where Garth Brooks was discovered, and folks stand in line for HOURS to get a seat in the round.
Located at 4104 Hillsboro Pike, the iconic club is tucked into a small strip mall, unassuming but larger than life.
In 2002, it won the American Country Music Award for the night club of the year. It's also where T. Swift sang her heart out and was discovered at only fifteen.
With only ninety seats in the venue, it's a bit difficult to find a spot. You can either buy a ticket that goes on sale at 8am the week before the show, or wait in line - for absolutely ages.
You may run into LeeAnn Rimes, maybe bump into Phil Vassar - but you're definitely going to find the songwriters behind some of your favorite country songs.
It's not the singers that are behind some of the biggest hits out there - no, the real writers come to the Bluebird and play song after iconic song, in the acoustic style that's so popular.
The movie, "The Thing Called Love," starring River Phoenix revolved around the Bluebird Cafe. It was the actors' last film.
The Bluebird Cafe builds stars - and we'll leave you with this. The first all-female round included Pam Tillis, Tricia Walker who had multiple cuts in later years, Ashley Cleveland who later took home a Grammy and Karen Staley, who wrote multiple hits for Faith Hill.
Check out this neat featurette about The Bluebird Cafe set from the hit television show, "Nashville." It goes into some neat history, and covers the crazy feat of recreating the locally loved spot for the show.

Pretty neat, hey? It's a bit of Nashville history that you can visit on a weekly basis - if you manage to grab those hot tickets!
