STORIES BEHIND THE HITS
Our ‘STORIES BEHIND THE HITS’ show will captivate your audience. Our songwriters perform a Bluebird Cafe/ Listening Room style show (made popular on ‘Nashville.’) They take it up a notch by interacting with the audience and answering questions about songwriting, success, and the music industry. As you know, everyone who comes to Nashville wants to visit the famous Bluebird Cafe and every show is quickly sold out. We can bring the Bluebird experience to you at your venue. The event concludes with a Meet and Greet, chatting, posing for pictures, and signing CDs. Our songwriters will make everyone in your group feel thrilled and grateful they came.
