Live Music
The Songbirds Guitar Museum and music venue, which moved to its new location in April 2024, is a must-see destination for guitar enthusiasts and live music fans. Originally located on the Chattanooga Choo Choo campus, Songbirds now has a fresh space that showcases an impressive collection of guitars, a full service bar, and kitchen.
Songbirds is more than just a museum; it’s a thriving music venue that regularly hosts live performances by bands from across the country. Local talent also has a spotlight, with showcases, open mics, and charity events held frequently.
The stage setup is ideal for small, intimate performances with seated audiences, yet flexible enough to accommodate standing-room-only shows for over 150 people. Keep an eye on the Songbirds calendar; they’re planning more events now that they’re settled into their new permanent space.
