At The Listening Room, giving back has always been part of who we are. Back in 2010, our founder Chris Blair was juggling every role—from dishwasher to bartender—just to keep the doors open. When friends in the songwriter community stepped in to host a benefit show, tragedy struck as the Nashville flood hit. Despite his own struggles, Chris donated all the proceeds to Hands On Nashville to support flood relief.

That spirit of generosity still drives us today. Each month, we partner with local non-profits, offering our stage so they can share their mission and raise support. It’s our way of honoring where we’ve been and making sure our success gives back to the community we love.
