The Bluebird Cafe

The Bluebird Cafe has gained a reputation worldwide for presenting the best original country and acoustic music seven nights a week. Performers do not generally play "cover" songs. Musicians do not jam there, and songwriters frequently are accompanied by just one guitar or piano. New writers who have passed the audition process can be heard every Sunday night - it's a great opportunity to hear from tomorrow's hitmakers. Writers night on Sunday is free and there is a special guest hit songwriter as the finale every Sunday.

As a listening room, quiet is requested at all times during a performance, though eating and drinking is fine, of course.
