17th May Maren Morris will return to the iconic Bluebird Cafe to lead an intimate songwriter round. The venue at Hillsboro Pike, Nashville is steeped in music and songwriting history and is where Garth Brooks and Taylor Swift were discovered and many other talented song writers cut their teeth. The cafe has also featured on many films and TV shows, not to mention almost every episode of the music drama ‘Nashville’.
The acoustic by Morris show will feature performances by Ryan Hurd, Jimmy Robbins and Laura Veltz, some of the architects of Morris’ album, Hero.
Monies raised from the event will support The Heroes Fund, her nonprofit organisation that supports fine arts and music education programs in public schools.
Morris’ performance will be filmed for Bluebird, the first-ever documentary about the influence the tiny 90-seat venue has had in Nashville’s rise as a music capital of the world and its influence on popular music in general. The film is in the final stages of production and heading towards post-production stage. In Morris’ history, the Bluebird is the first place she played her breakout hit “My Church” live for an audience. One of her last appearances at the venue was in summer 2016 when she led a songwriting program during the annual ACM Lifting Lives music camp.
