History

Chris Blair opened The Listening Room Cafe in 2006 in Franklin, Tennessee when he could not find a just-right venue for Nashville musicians. Drawn by its exciting music scene, Blair decided to bring the cafe nearer to downtown Nashville in 2008 and moved it to the Cummins Station building. In 2012, this location took a six-month hiatus before reopening in its current location, the International Harvester Building, in the heart of the city.
