ABOUT

Little Nashville is a small picture of “Big Nashville”. You can come and view it from the outside – enjoying a night on the town while engaging with both established and up-and-coming songwriters right here in your backyard. And, just like Nashville, it doubles as the local home for songwriters of all ages and genres right here in Southern Illinois, making it one-of-a-kind venue that allows you to experience entertainment and culture that you will not find anywhere else north of the Mason-Dixon Line.

Aaron R. Smith

After 10 years in-an-out of Nashville, I planted my roots back home in Southern Illinois and started a business. But my passion for music and songwriting didn’t stay in Tennessee. Having preformed  at iconic venues like The Bluebird and The Listening Room, I understood the importance of songwriter venues for the development of the music we all love. It was that understanding that made me want to create a place in Southern Illinois that showcased and promoted songwriting.
