TLR: BUILT ON LIVE MUSIC

The Listening Room started in 2006 with a simple idea: There’s nothing like hearing a great song performed live. Not as background music, not as something you shout to hear yourself over, but as the main attraction. With Music City’s best-sounding venue as the foundation, founder Chris Blair set out to pair it with a food and drink menu centered around the freshest local ingredients.

After fifteen successful years in Nashville, founder Chris Blair decided to open his second location in the beautiful Smoky Mountains of Pigeon Forge, TN. He set out to build the best-sounding original music venue in the Smokies, while featuring locally focused food and drink with the quality to match the music

Whether you’re enjoying a weekend retreat in the Smoky Mountains, ready for a night on the town, or celebrating a bachelorette weekend, we’re here to give you an incredible live music experience featuring the region’s top songwriters.

At The Listening Room, you experience the hits you hear on the radio in a way you’ve never heard them before. The songs are portrayed by the writers themselves. We pride ourselves on original music performances with two live shows a night. During the week, expect an acoustic setting featuring anyone from up-and-coming songwriters to number one hit songwriters. While some of our weekend shows may revolve around singer-songwriters, we will also be showcasing local East Tennessee singers, bands, and popular national acts.
