Buddy's Place, where the music is!
Buddy’s Place began in 2011 as a series of House Concert events hosted in a tiny townhome living room just south of Nashville.
Buddy was looking for a way to show support and encouragement to several of his singer songwriter friends working odd jobs and
trying to make ends meet while pursuing their dreams in music! Over the years, we have hosted live music in small condos, personal homes, community centers, food truck events, Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum, Cedar Springs Ranch, and the historic Woolworth Theatre to name a few. Fast forward 13 years later, 100+ shows all over Nashville, 130+ singer songwriters
(including Kelsea Ballerini, Brett Young, Carly Pearce, Ryan Larkins and Charlie Worsham) sharing nearly 3000 songs and Buddy’s Place finds itself hosting a series of residency shows at one of Nashville’s most talked about new music venues – Chief’s on Broadway! It’s an honor to be a part of this special venue that is focused on the support of original music and the special talents that create it.
