Hear it first.
Nashville's best songwriters playing the songs they wrote — and telling you where they came from. Every Thursday at 7PM in Midtown. No cover, ever.
Including a Grammy for Best Country Song, 24 ACM & CMA Awards, and a 19-week Billboard Hot 100 #1
Next one out of town
Whitefish Grind.
Friday, October 2 • The Second Story, Whitefish MTFour of our writers take the round to Montana for one night, with the Whitefish Songwriter Festival. Same stools, same songs nobody has heard yet — 2,000 miles from Demonbreun.
Two blocks off Broadway
Broadway plays the hits.
We play them before they are.
Down the street you'll hear a great band cover a song somebody else wrote. Here you hear the person who actually wrote it, three feet away, explaining what happened to them that week.
The writers, not a tribute act
Every song on this stage was written by somebody in the room. Some of them you've already heard on the radio — sung by someone else.
Songs before the world gets them
Unreleased material, first-ever live performances, and the story behind the cut. Most of what you hear on a Thursday isn't out yet.
Free every week
No cover at the door, and no pay-to-play at the mic. Artists have never paid us a dollar to stand on this stage, and they never will.
They played here first
In April 2021, Ella Langley sat on this stage and played a song called “Damned If I Do” that nobody had heard yet. Stephen Wilson Jr. played “Holler From The Holler” here that July. The room had no idea. That’s the whole point of showing up.
On the road
Thursday is home.
The round travels.
We take the show out — festival stages, destination weekends, private rooms. It has played Half Moon in Jamaica. It has played, once, for a private event, on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry House. Same writers, same stools, same songs nobody has heard yet, wherever the room happens to be.
