The third rendition of the beloved partnership will welcome back the 'stories behind the songs' format made famous by Nashville's legendary listening room in an exclusive and intimate Southwestern setting
SANTA FE, N.M., Oct. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Bishop's Lodge, Auberge Resorts Collection, the award-winning luxury resort and thoughtfully restored landmark, today announces it has for the third consecutive year partnered with The Bluebird Cafe for the annual tradition that brings Nashville's legendary listening room to the UNESCO Creative City of Santa Fe, N.M. The renowned venue, which has gained worldwide recognition for hosting career-defining moments of beloved artists such as Maren Morris, Taylor Swift, Garth Brooks, and many others, will once again bring its signature 'In The Round' songwriter show format to the intimate setting of the resort's Bunkhouse. Stemming from the success of the sold-out partnerships in 2023 and 2024, Nashville's top hitmakers will inspire travelers and locals with six performances taking place over three weekends on January 17-18, February 21-22 and March 21-22, 2025. It is an unforgettable experience, showcasing why Nashville is known as Music City and Bishop's Lodge is renowned for its deeply rooted creative culture.
While the venue is known as a haven to songwriters, The Bluebird Cafe brings its magic to a limited number of off-site locations. Located in a small strip mall outside of downtown Nashville, the 90-seat venue is unassuming in appearance. Still, some of the most significant songwriters and artists have performed in its room, taking turns playing, collaborating, and telling stories behind their songs. On any given night, the audience may hear from artists like Lee Brice, Vince Gill, or Carly Pearce, "heroes behind the hits" like Tony Arata, Chris DeStefano and Liz Rose, or perhaps a budding singer-songwriter just beginning to make their mark.
Performances will begin each night at 6 p.m., with doors opening at 5 p.m. and guests welcomed with bespoke beverages. Following the exclusive performance, guests are invited to SkyFire for an immersive dining experience ($110 per person) created by Executive Chef Diego Sobrino starting at 7:30 p.m. The artful culinary presentation of Nashville-style barbeque with a New Mexican twist will nod to the Southern roots, gathering all for the weekend. A deeply rooted destination for art and creativity, Bishop's Lodge, Auberge Resorts Collection is known for curating one-of-a-kind experiences in a spectacular natural setting, with the The Bluebird Cafe partnership as no exception.
Tickets are available to locals via Event Create (starting at $150, up to $280 for VIP Admission tickets) and guests through an Overnight Package, which can be built upon additional nights for travelers or serve as an ideal staycation for locals. The package (starting at $1354++) includes overnight accommodations, two VIP Admission show tickets with preferred seating closest to the artists, an after-show dining experience for two and special gift for two from Bishop's Lodge and The Bluebird Cafe. Join Bishop's Lodge, Auberge Resorts Collection for an entertaining weekend of music, culinary arts and Santa Fe adventures.

About The Bluebird Cafe
Nashville's Bluebird Cafe is a small but mighty venue where up and coming songwriters and artists build their careers and rise to fame. Over the past 41 years, the tiny room has developed into one of the most significant music venues in the world where all songwriters are welcomed and supported, from novice to established hit-makers. Artists such as Kathy Mattea, Garth Brooks, Faith Hill and Taylor Swift have had career moments along with countless hit songwriters whose music is represented on a wide range of charts.
A typical show at The Bluebird features three or four songwriters performing 'In the round,' a format made famous at the club where the performers take turns playing their original music, sharing the stories behind their songs, accompanying each other instrumentally, and vocally. The venue's "SHHHH" policy establishes it as a listening room where audience members are encouraged to pay attention to the song itself – and since it accommodates only 90 people per show, the demand is high and the room sells out in minutes.
Over 80,000 people visit the venue annually; many of them as a result of seeing the Bluebird on television, in news pieces, The Foo Fighters' documentary, Sonic Highways, the feature film, The Thing Called Love, or on the ABC hit drama, Nashville. The Bluebird Cafe has been featured in publications such as Southwest Spirit, National Geographic Traveler, The New York Times and Rolling Stone magazine where the club was voted one of the Top 10 Best Clubs in America. Most recently, the venue's story was featured in the 2019 documentary, BLUEBIRD, available on streaming channels including iTunes and Amazon.
