    One of our favorite activities while visiting Nashville! We came early, ordered drinks and lunch, enjoyed the emcee, and loved listening to the background of popular songs as well as a few we hadn't heard yet. It was such a good time!

    We loved this show. If you are ever in Nashville check it out . The service , food and drinks are great. You get to hear the stories from the songwriters perspective. It was such a wonderful experience.

    First time visiting Backstage Nashville. We arrived early in order to get a table close to the stage. Our waitress stopped by and said she was being water in which she never did. We ordered a beer and waited for about 30 minutes after our beer arrived before she returned for our food Order. Our food took a while to arrive, but once it did it was delicious. The burger had adequate blue cheese and the burger was seasoned and cooked well. The grilled onions added a nice flavor as well. The crinkle cut fries were crispy on the outside. The show was AMAZING. Very cool to see all the songwriters and hear their stories. The show was better than the service but would still recommend to anyone visiting the area.

    This is an awesome singer/songwriter event that I believe only occurs on Saturdays around noonish so book early. Paid about $130 for 4 people and it was so worth it. They featured about 4 or 5 songwriters who sell to country artists like Luke Combs etc. They give insight to how the song took shape and then sing it themselves. This is the backbone of all music! Brady Seals was one of our artists (father is of Seals & Crofts) and we also had someone from one of the TV talent shows. This show was at least 2 hrs. And they have waitresses serving food and drinks to your table. There is a quick meet and greet at the end as well as shirts, books or cds to buy. Best tour type thing I did in Nashville.

    Performers!

    Best thing we did in Nashville! Such a special time hearing the passion and stories behind the songs. Incredible voices and all-around fun time. Plenty of seating and great food/drink options. What a treat.

    Awesome venue off the beaten path, seats fill up quick so get early. We were at a sold out show, so it was a bit packed. We were close to the front of the entry line, so we were able to get seats up close to the stage. We found our seat and ordered drinks. We waited a bit to order dinner. That may have been a mistake due to the number of people, it took about 45 minutes to get it. Service could have been better, especially since 20% gratuity is automatically added regardless of party size. The ribeye sandwich was great, good flavor, tender, juicy and the horseradish sauce topped it off! The fries were nothing special. Overall the food was great. Let's face it, if you find yourself here, it's due to the music, or the food. This is where this place shines! It's awesome to get intimate with some great songwriters who will share their stories about how the songs came to be! Can't go wrong here.

    Had an amazing time listening to the songwriters tell their stories and perform their songs. I would do this again in a heartbeat!

    Wife and I had a great time! Staff was always right there to get us anything we wanted to eat or drink. Food was about what you'd expect from a bar type place. Good enough. Overall musical experience was amazing. So cool to listen to the song writers tell the stories behind their music and then to perform it. So much appreciation for the true talent and not just the popular singers that have "made it." We saw Sarah Buxton, Jed's Hughes, Emma Klein and Heidi Newfield. They truly seemed to love to be signing and playing their music. If you enjoy watching live music, this is definitely a must on your visit to Nashville. Much quieter and overall better experience than on Broadway. We will be stopping here every time we are in Nashville!!

    At the time of writing this review, the Nashville Predators are the sixth-newest team in the…read more32-team NHL. The Preds' first season was 1998-99. Since that time, the team ranks fifth in the league in all-time points percentage (regular season). After getting off to a slow start that included five consecutive seasons of zero playoff appearances, Nashville now routinely qualifies for the playoffs. The team won its first conference championship (Western Conference) in 2017 and advanced to the Stanley Cup Finals. All in all, not bad. The 2017 Finals pitted the Predators against the well-established Pittsburgh Penguins and NHL superstar Sidney Crosby. The Preds fared relatively well against the Pens, extending the series to six games which, unfortunately, ended on a 2-0 home loss inside Bridgestone Arena. That season (2016-17), Nashville was led by team captain Mike Fisher and guys like Filip Forsberg, Viktor Arvidsson, Ryan Johansen, and Roman Josi. Forsberg, Johansen, and Rosi still play for Nashville today and all three rank among the franchise's all-time leaders in points, goals, and assists. The all-time leader in all three categories is David Legwand. Legwand was drafted by the Predators in 1998 (2nd overall pick) and played 15 seasons for Nashville. The 2017 Predators were coached by current Washington Capitals head coach Peter Laviolette. Laviolette led the Carolina Hurricanes to the 2006 Stanley Cup championship and also led the Philadelphia Flyers to the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals. He's one of only four coaches to lead three different NHL teams to the Finals. Nashville's appearance in the 2017 Finals was the first time a major professional sports team from Tennessee advanced to a championship game. With Laviolette (2014-2020) and the franchise's first head coach, Barry Trotz (1998-2014), the Predators have had some pretty decent coaches. Now a seasoned veteran, the beloved Trotz got his NHL head coaching start in Nashville. Four years after leaving Nashville in 2014, Trotz led the Caps to the Stanley Cup title in 2018. In January 2020, current Preds head coach John Hynes signed a three-year deal that will see him through the 2021-22 NHL season. It will be interesting to see if Nashville sticks with Hynes past 2022.

They have qualified for the NHL…read morepost-season playoffs 14 times out of the past 17 seasons, making it to the finals once, but still haven't won the Stanley Cup. They play their home games at Bridgestone Arena in Downtown Nashville, and they have a very strong and vocal fan base, almost to the point of being obnoxious. R and I went to a Preds home game in late November when the Anaheim Ducks were in town. Since we're from Anaheim, we wore Ducks jerseys, and got some good natured ribbing from Preds fans before the game. Right after I passed through the security checkpoint at the entrance to the arena, one of the young ladies on the ice crew smiled and offered me a sticker with the Predator logo on it and said, "I think this sticker will go perfectly right over here" and pointed right where the Anaheim Ducks logo was on my jersey. Why is Nashville's NHL team named Predators? In 1971, construction crews discovered the bones of a saber-tooth tiger in a cave below the city, proving that they once inhabited this region. During the fans' voting process which determined the name of the team, the three names that got the most votes were "Ice Tigers," "Fury," and "Attack." The original owner of the Nashville team submitted another name "Predators" which he later revealed was the name of the team. I was very impressed by the loudness of the fans' cheers, and physical and vocal participation whenever something happened that triggered more cheers and hand gestures. I listened closely to their cheers and actually learned many of them, especially the ones cheered after the Preds scored a goal. Why? Because we yelled the same cheers after the Ducks scored a goal! Funny, though, that the Preds fans around us just laughed, maybe because they thought it was hilarious that Ducks fans used Preds' cheers. A Preds fan who sat next to R laughed when she heard us using their cheers and said, "Well, I guess it's fair, since the Ducks scored on the Preds!" The Nashville Predators and their fans had a lot to cheer about because the Preds beat the Ducks that night, 3-2, scoring the go ahead goal with less than 8 minutes left in the 3rd period. The Preds' defense stopped the Ducks from scoring after that. Well played, Predators! Predators players have been active in the community with several different initiatives. These include efforts with the Make a Wish Foundation, 365 Pediatric Cancer Fund, and local youth hockey programs.

The acoustics are very lively which means if you're seeing anything other than an acoustic act, lyrics will probably be unintelligible. The center floor seats especially suffer from this when the crowd is standing due to the lack of PA coverage past the front fills that cover the first few rows. The pews are tight...and restrict a crowd from dancing. And if you dare to have an end seat and take one dance step out into an aisle, an usher on a power trip will be on you in milliseconds. The security and ushers roaming the crowd during the shows always lead to an unsettling feeling of supervision in a space where people come to let loose and express themselves. From a visual perspective it's also just odd. Half of the floor seats are covered by the mezzanine with an extremely obstructive view of anything happening above the performers. Then, if you do have a full stage view, the house is painted such a bright color that leaves you feeling like you're in a living room rather than at a concert. Which can absolutely be the vibe for the right act. I understand and respect the history of the Ryman, but just wish bands/promoters would choose more suitable venues rather than booking this room for its reputation. The Ryman is more of a PAC at its core. Great for acoustic/folk/quiet acts.
