Steve Wariner Books Date at Nashville’s Listening Room

Steve Wariner

Steve Wariner will perform a rare, intimate concert at The Listening Room Cafe in Nashville on Wednesday, June 18 at 8:30 p.m.

“I always loved it when Chet Atkins performed his series of shows at Café Milano back in the ‘90s, and for a long time I’ve thought it would be fun to do something like that,” said Wariner, who spent several years performing in Atkins’ band.

“Chet could have easily played in any arena around town, but instead he wanted to be somewhere cozy and comfortable where the locals and tourists alike could see him perform whatever he felt like doing,” he continues. “That’s the approach I’m taking with this show as well — I’m going to have fun and just let the night dictate what I perform. Of course I’ll do some of my hits, but I love the thought of just coming out on stage, picking up my guitar, and playing whatever comes to mind. I’m still deciding if it will be me and the band, me solo and acoustic, or me and a few players. Who knows? If it’s as much fun as I think it will be, I might decide to do this more often.”
