In The Round with Tia Sillers, Tony Arata & Blue Mother Tupelo

An intimate evening of songwriting unfolds at The Bluebird Cafe as three acclaimed acts share the stage in the round. Tia Sillers, whose landmark song "I Hope You Dance" earned a Grammy and multiple Song of the Year honors, brings her gift for storytelling alongside Tony Arata, a Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame member best known for Garth Brooks' "The Dance." The married duo Blue Mother Tupelo rounds out the lineup with their deep southern soul and rootsy country rock sound, described as truly Americana.

Attendees can expect a cozy, listening-room atmosphere where each performer takes turns sharing songs and the stories behind them. The Bluebird's intimate setting—with 18 tables, 8 bar seats, and church pew seating—creates a rare connection between artist and audience. Walk-up seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis when doors open, and all ages are welcome for this celebration of Nashville's songwriting tradition.
