Hear that? It’s the scintillating sound of Nashville’s live music venues beckoning you to a performance you’ll never forget.
The concert scene is truly unmatched in our area — from Bridgestone Arena to The Basement East, there’s a stage for any type of tune.

The jazz club offers live music, New Orleans-style food, local brews, and prohibition-era cocktails (no dress code is required). Find limited free parking in the lot off of 9th Avenue behind the venue’s building.
