a Stage with a Story.
Historic Nashville Venue ★ Home of the Midnite Jamboree ★ Minutes from the Grand Ole Opry
There Are Venues.
Then There's The Troubadour.
When you hold your event here, you're not renting a blank room — you're stepping into a living piece of Nashville history. The walls have heard legends. The stage has launched careers. That energy doesn't wash off. It becomes part of your night.
Historic Nashville Venue
Rooted in the 1947 Midnite Jamboree tradition of Ernest Tubb — one of Nashville's most important musical legacies. No venue in Music Valley carries more authentic country music heritage.
Minutes from the Grand Ole Opry
Located in Nashville's Music Valley district, just minutes from the Grand Ole Opry House — right in the heart of country music's most celebrated neighborhood. Your guests arrive already immersed in Nashville's spirit.
A Stage That Commands Attention
Professional production lighting, full sound system, and a performance space built for moments that matter — whether it's a first dance, a keynote, or a headline set.
People Who Love This Music
Owned by performer and hospitality veteran Rodney Collins and stewarded by resident artist Ronnie McDowell, The Troubadour is run by people who genuinely love country music — not a corporate events company checking boxes.
"You can book a hotel ballroom anywhere. There's only one place in Nashville where your guests will feel the history in the floor beneath their feet and the neon above their heads — and that's The Troubadour."— The Troubadour Nashville Event Team

When You Book Here,
This Is What You're Part Of
The Troubadour isn't a new venue dressed up in vintage aesthetics. This is the real thing — a place where country music history actually happened, and keeps happening.
Ernest Tubb Joins the Grand Ole Opry
The Texas Troubadour becomes one of country music's defining voices — and begins building the legacy this venue is built on.
The Midnite Jamboree Is Born
Every Saturday night after the Opry, Ernest Tubb opens the doors for live country music broadcast. One of the longest-running radio programs in American history begins.
The Texas Troubadour Theater Opens
A dedicated live performance venue opens in Nashville's Music Valley — minutes from the Grand Ole Opry — and becomes the permanent home of the Midnite Jamboree.
A New Era: The Troubadour
Under Ronnie McDowell and owner Rodney Collins, the venue becomes The Troubadour — honoring its deep roots while opening the stage to a bold new chapter.
The People Behind The Stage
Ronnie McDowell
A country music veteran with 30+ Billboard hits and two #1 singles, Ronnie brings unmatched credibility and genuine passion to The Troubadour. As a resident artist and steward of the space, he performs select dates throughout the year and helps set the standard for what happens on this stage. His voice famously dubbed Elvis Presley in the 1979 film Elvis — and his lifelong commitment to traditional country music is exactly why this venue still matters.
Rodney Collins
Rodney Collins is a country music performer in his own right and one of Nashville's most accomplished hospitality entrepreneurs. He owns Nashville's legendary Music City Bar and Grill as well as the Music City Beach Bar in North Redington Beach, FL — and brings that same dedication to live music, great food, and genuine Southern hospitality to The Troubadour. His ownership ensures this historic stage not only survives, but thrives.
