Newport’s First Listening Room

A monthly evening of music showcasing songwriters performing their own songs.

Newport to Nashville is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing space for musicians and fans alike to enjoy music. Our goal is to provide a venue for up & coming songwriter's and national recording artists to perform and feature their original songs. The space encourages songwriter's to collaborate with other musicians and share their passion with their fans. Join us and be the first to hear a new hit song before it is even on the radio!

Join us monthly as The Newport Playhouse & Cabaret Restaurant transforms into a Nashville Style Listening Room where performers play live, acoustic music in an intimate setting. Newport to Nashville offers a menu that will not disappoint as well as a full service bar for your enjoyment.

Newport, RI is a hot spot of renowned musical events including Newport Folk Festival, Newport Jazz Festival and Bridge Festival. Some of music's most notorious songwriters can be seen in Newport; you never know who will show up!
