It all started with a "Wouldn't this be a wonderful place to have a concert!" Standing on the plaza in front of the incredible 1950's building with the giant dome, (which houses the Seyfert Telescope) and looking out at the surrounding oak and hickory forest, one can easily get a sense of how special this place would be for listening to talented musicians. On perhaps the tallest hilltop in Nashville, the concerts are scheduled around glorious sunsets. After the performance, when the stars begin to shine, the telescope is opened for visitors to cap their night with views of celestial wonders.

Bring blankets, lawn chairs, food and drink. Make yourself comfortable in the observatory's front lawn. Relax and prepare for a fabulous evening of sunset, music, and stars.

More information about this event will be posted on our calendar in the upcoming days. Dyer Calendar

Bluebird On The Mountain
Thanks to Amy Kurland of Bluebird Cafe fame, we are producing a series of in-the-round style events that have been absolutely wonderful. The performers have included the top songwriters in Nashville. In 2009, we start our cooperative Bluebird concerts in May and continue monthly through October. Tickets for these concerts are sold through Ticketmaster. We encourage carloads of people to attend by purchasing a "carload ticket." Bring up to 8 people in your car. No RVs please.  Concerts take place rain or shine.  They will only be cancelled with the treat of tornado or severe lightning.
