In Nashville, a writers round is an intimate showcase where 3 to 4 songwriters share the stage, taking turns playing their original songs and sharing the "behind-the-scenes" stories of how they were written. It is a cornerstone of Music City's culture, allowing you to hear future hits or the writers behind your favorite chart-topping tracks in a "listening room" environment.
It is one of favorite events to attend and best of all, these shows are typically FREE.
This page includes ONLY those with events from May 31 - June 9 for CMA Fest 2026.
For a complete list, visit our TRAVEL information page.
We do not include the venues like The Listening Room, The Bluebird cafe or 3rd and Lindsley here as they typically have multiple ticketed shows throughout each week. You can find these on our BY LOCATION page for CMA Fest.
