"Lots of Nashville music royalty got their start at the Bluebird (like Taylor Swift and Garth Brooks), and it has remained relevant ever since. The listening room-style venue is owned by a non-profit, and all of the ticket proceeds go to the talent. One of the best parts about visiting is that you never know who might pop in to reminisce. It’s essential to jump on tickets when they drop online—usually at 8 a.m.—because seating is limited to just 90, and it's obvious why they go so quickly. If you miss out, it is possible to stand in line for last-minute openings. In fact, that line is a Nashville tradition." - Kristin Luna,Margaret Littman
