First time visiting Backstage Nashville. We arrived early in order to get a table close to the stage. Our waitress stopped by and said she was being water in which she never did. We ordered a beer and waited for about 30 minutes after our beer arrived before she returned for our food Order. Our food took a while to arrive, but once it did it was delicious. The burger had adequate blue cheese and the burger was seasoned and cooked well. The grilled onions added a nice flavor as well. The crinkle cut fries were crispy on the outside. The show was AMAZING. Very cool to see all the songwriters and hear their stories. The show was better than the service but would still recommend to anyone visiting the area. read more

Food was good. Featured writers mostly fine. the MC was an absolute train wreck. She spent way too much time talking and being way o er the top cringy. Will never be back read more

Don't be fooled, they are on a "hiatus" and didn't bother telling anyone! Got dropped off by a Lyft and door was locked. I called and learned they weren't opening. Not cool. read more

What a fantastic experience! Worth every cent. The performers were magnificent. The service and food were outstanding.

This is an awesome singer/songwriter event that I believe only occurs on Saturdays around noonish so book early. Paid about $130 for 4 people and it was so worth it. They featured about 4 or 5 songwriters who sell to country artists like Luke Combs etc. They give insight to how the song took shape and then sing it themselves. This is the backbone of all music! Brady Seals was one of our artists (father is of Seals & Crofts) and we also had someone from one of the TV talent shows. This show was at least 2 hrs. And they have waitresses serving food and drinks to your table. There is a quick meet and greet at the end as well as shirts, books or cds to buy. Best tour type thing I did in Nashville. read more

Backstage Nashville - Performers! - Music Venues Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Awesome venue off the beaten path, seats fill up quick so get early. We were at a sold out show, so it was a bit packed. We were close to the front of the entry line, so we were able to get seats up close to the stage. We found our seat and ordered drinks. We waited a bit to order dinner. That may have been a mistake due to the number of people, it took about 45 minutes to get it. Service could have been better, especially since 20% gratuity is automatically added regardless of party size. The ribeye sandwich was great, good flavor, tender, juicy and the horseradish sauce topped it off! The fries were nothing special. Overall the food was great. Let's face it, if you find yourself here, it's due to the music, or the food. This is where this place shines! It's awesome to get intimate with some great songwriters who will share their stories about how the songs came to be! Can't go wrong here. read more

From the beginning, Dan and Ron were outstanding in their communication with me. My brother in law is handicapped - in a wheelchair and I asked them about wheelchair accessibility. Fast response that they were. They asked to send a note to remind the day before. I did and they were ready for us. We entered through the back door - no stairs, no crowds and we were comfortably seated in the front with the wheelchair right next to the couch before the rest of the audience entered. Now... how have I lived in Nashville 13 years and missed this until now? We have waited online hoping to snag a spot at Bluebird, which I must say is next to impossible the last 4 or 5 years. But, don't bother. This is much more comfortable and food quality better as well. Talented artists took turns on the stage, with a Tennessee Fireball whiskey shot in between one of them. The servers were courteous and attentive - just can't recommend this highly enough. read more

Wife and I had a great time! Staff was always right there to get us anything we wanted to eat or drink. Food was about what you'd expect from a bar type place. Good enough. Overall musical experience was amazing. So cool to listen to the song writers tell the stories behind their music and then to perform it. So much appreciation for the true talent and not just the popular singers that have "made it." We saw Sarah Buxton, Jed's Hughes, Emma Klein and Heidi Newfield. They truly seemed to love to be signing and playing their music. If you enjoy watching live music, this is definitely a must on your visit to Nashville. Much quieter and overall better experience than on Broadway. We will be stopping here every time we are in Nashville!! read more

Good show today 7/15/23. Food was good. Service very good. I've been to several writer's shows at various other venues. This Show would have been better if the top writers had performed their hit songs rather than their selection of mostly unknowns. If you've written multiple top 10 songs, people want to hear them. Ask Shania. read more

This day was the most memorable of visiting Nashville . We enjoyed the music and the food was really good . Employees were all very friendly read more

Great entertainment and good food. What a fabulous time. Highly recommend! We stumbled up it through a Facebook ad and so lucky we did

Songwriters Showcase. A very cool intimate setting, where the writers of some of country music's biggest hits, perform them live giving you the backstory on both the song and the artist that cut it. Not a bad seat in the house, but the VIP tables will put you right down in front. Great food and drink menu. Great staff too. Make sure you book in advance because tickets sell out quickly. read more

Conde Naste says Top 15 in Nashville - they got it wrong. It is without a doubt #1. Absolute fire - intimate and get the background of the song and the version in the songwriters mind. Phenomenal. Will be back EVERY time I come to Nashville. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed the Songwriters show at Backstage Nashville - exceeded our expectations. Fabulous writers, great songs & good drinks. You won't be disappointed read more

This spot is great! It's huge, yet you feel like it's an intimate little show. The folks who run this spot could not be any nicer. My daughter uses a wheelchair and I called before our trip to make sure everything was accessible. They reserved us a table right by the ramp and restrooms and were just as kind as could be! We had such a great time seeing amazing talent. Make sure you hit this spot if you come through Nashville. read more

Very cool venue. Food is good as is the service. The music was amazing. Incredible performances. Definitely will be back next trip to Nashville. read more

Hoping the show is better than the service. We came in and had drink order taken first. we are literally the last table to get our order, and it's been 45 minutes. This isn't a covid issue this is lack of planning and shitty service. I'm visiting from out of state and I will NEVER return under any circumstance. read more

Love this venue. Every time I'm in Nashville I'll be at a show. I love hearing the stories behind the songs. Venue is cozy and comfortable. Food is good as well as the drinks. If I could give this review more stars. I would. One of the best songwriters venues in Nashville. read more

We went to the Songwriters show that they do at 12:30. It was a very good show. The songwriters talk about their songs and sing them. It's very interesting to here how they came up with a certain song and then hear them sing. Emma Klein was AMAZING!!! The food and drinks were great and our waitress was totally on top of things. If you are going to Nashville this is something that definitely should be on top of your list of things to do. read more

Awesome show for anyone looking for an intimate songwriter experience in Nashville! I have been to the show many times and am always impressed by the quality of the artists that perform. We hired Backstage Nashville to handle the entertainment at a fundraiser we hosted. Their traveling show is just as great as the weekly shows at 3rd & Lindsley. Highly recommend! read more

Assume, very personal. Morgan Myles was great. Feels like we're in front row from any where in room. read more
