Nashville Live Music Clubs
Places like the Bluebird Café are the reason that "Music City, USA" can keep its title and dignity. While most tourist gravitates towards big name shows at the Ryman, locals and industry vets know that the heart of country music is located in intimate clubs like the Bluebird, which feature little known and amateur singer-songwriters performing seven nights a week. Another must visit is Douglas Corner Cafe. This Cafe has established many famous acts and top writers. Much more, many of the early shows here have no cover charge. As the “Home of Traditional Country Music” you will not find another like Robert’s Western World. Robert’s Western World draws everyone from the stars to a few homeless fellows who in the glow of the flashing neon guitar and the signature Red Cowboy boot reminisce as the haunted sounds of Hank Williams pierce the night. The Station Inn is Nashville's is the most popular bluegrass club. Besides, you must be age 21 and older or be accompanied by a parent or guardian to enter.

Weather
Nashville is blessed with four distinct but mild seasons and an abundance of warmth and sunshine.
Spring is a delightful time in Middle Tennessee as the rolling hills are a lush, vibrant green. Because of the mild climate found here, many plants are well suited for the area including tulips, azaleas, irises, magnolias and dogwoods. Days are warm while evenings can be chilly.
Summer is ablaze with many concert festivals in Music City. Several nights during the week have live outdoor concerts scattered around town. Midday can be very warm as the humidity tends to be higher in the summer months. Light clothing and sunscreen is recommended for the full season.
Fall is a celebrated time throughout Tennessee. Visitors come from all over to see the annual changing of the leaves in mid-October. Days are warm and pleasant. Evenings require a sweater or light jacket. Since the weather is changeable, layered clothing is a good idea to accommodate sunny days and cooler nights.
Winter is a great time to visit the city's many attractions decked out in their holiday finery as Nashville truly shines throughout the winter with millions of twinkling lights. Although the climate is mild, winter temperatures do range from cool to cold. If a snowfall occurs, it is usually in January or February and is seldom heavy.
