A writers round is an hour with 3-4 singer/songwriters on stage together, taking turns playing their original songs and sharing the stories behind them. It’s the most common format for live music in Nashville.

Three formats: acoustic writers rounds (our most common), solo acoustic artist showcases, and full band performances.

• Mondays (Weekly) 7–10pm: Garage Sale Bar, East Nashville
• Tuesdays (1st & 3rd) 6–10pm: True Music Room at the Cambria Hotel, Downtown
• Thursdays (Monthly) 6–10pm: The Local (Nashville), West End
• Fridays (Weekly) 6–10pm: 1865 Club, Midtown
• Saturdays (Select) 6–10pm: Jackalope Brewery Taproom, Wedgewood-Houston
