The Listening Room To Host 20th Anniversary Show At The Ryman

/by

The Listening Room will celebrate its 20th  anniversary with a show at the Ryman Auditorium on March 3.

The show will include performances by Hardy, Blessing Offor, Mitchell Tenpenny, Phil Barton, Brian Davis, J.T. Harding, Jo Dee Messina, Matt Jenkins, Wendell Mobley, James Slater, and more to be announced, along with special surprise guests. 

“Celebrating 20 years of The Listening Room at the historic Ryman Auditorium is more than just an anniversary—it’s a full-circle moment,” shares The Listening Room’s Owner and Founder, Chris Blair. “When I started this back in 2006, I just wanted to create a place where the song and the songwriter came first. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of watching countless artists take that stage, share their stories, and grow into some of the biggest names in country music. Now, to have so many of them come back to celebrate this milestone with us on one of the most iconic stages in the world – it’s emotional in the best way.

“This night isn’t about me; it’s about the incredible songwriters, artists, and team members who’ve made The Listening Room what it is today,” he continues. “I’ve always said, ‘Music is the universal language of the world. Music comes to us through song. And every song has a songwriter.’ That belief has guided us from day one, and it’s what continues to drive everything we do. I’m beyond grateful for everyone who has believed in this vision and been part of the journey. It’s going to be an unforgettable night celebrating the songs, the stories, and the community that started it all.”

The Listening Room’s “In The Round” presale starts on Nov. 12 at listeningroomcafe.com/twenty, while general public tickets are on sale starting Nov. 14 here.
