The Listening Room

618 4th Avenue South
Nashville, TN 37210 615-259-3600 |
The Listening Room started in 2006 with a simple idea: There’s nothing like hearing a great song performed live. Not as background music, not as something you shout to hear yourself over, but as the main attraction. With Music City’s best-sounding venue as the foundation, founder Chris Blair set out to pair it with a food and drink menu centered around the freshest local ingredients.
At the Listening Room, you experience the hits you hear on the radio in a way you’ve never heard them before. The songs are portrayed by the writers themselves. We pride ourselves on original music performances with two live shows a night. During the week, expect an acoustic setting featuring anyone from up-and-coming songwriters - to number one hit songwriters. While some of our weekend shows may revolve around singer-songwriters, we will also be showcasing local Nashville bands and popular national acts.
