Writers Night hosted by Barbara Cloyd

Sunday Writers Night is a long-running showcase that has been part of The Bluebird Cafe's regular lineup since 1986. This intimate evening features emerging songwriters who have competed for their spots through the venue's audition process. Each artist performs a three-song set in a listening-room setting that encourages meaningful engagement with their work. The show is hosted by local comedian and songwriter Steve Goodie, creating a welcoming atmosphere for both performers and audience members. Tickets are free thanks to support from the Recording Industry Association of America, though there's a $15 per-seat food and beverage minimum, and you'll cover standard taxes and fees. The venue offers reserved table and bar seating, as well as first-come, first-served pew seats available when doors open. Keep in mind that smaller parties may share larger tables with other guests. If your plans change, you can cancel up to 48 hours before showtime for a full refund. This event is open to all ages and offers a great way for music lovers and families to experience live songwriting in an authentic Nashville setting.
