Songwriter Stages

Nashville Songwriter Rounds
Nashville Songwriter Rounds or Songwriter Circles are a Nashville songwriting tradition. A Round is where a group of 3 or 4 songwriters share a single stage. They rotate down the line first sharing quick stories about how the song was written and other songwriters that contributed to the song. These people are some amazing storytellers - that's why they say it is all about the song. Some of the biggest names in music have been known to particpate in Nashville Songwriter Rounds. Generally these stages are acoustics and the artist will amaze you with their voice and lyrics and overall talent. Sit back and enjoy why this city is called Music City!

Enjoy a sample of Nashville's Music Scene
Thanks to Nashville Ear for allowing us to give you a sample of one of the unbelievable Nashville songwriters you will see and hear around town. The Nashville Ear was out listening to some of Nashville's songwriters at the Bluebird Cafe when we heard Daniel Ethridge. Wow, what a talented guy. He has been playing around town and staying under our radar until he played the Bluebird. He is very talented and has a smooth mellow delivery and a great stage presence. His mastery of the guitar is apparent and with his smooth vocal delivery he is as smooth as Jack Daniels with cool spring water. His songs are as lyrically pleasing as they are deep and telling. We added a video of Daniel Ethridge below from one of his Bluebird appearances recently.
