About
Raised under the wide open skies of the West and transplanted into the land of “three chords and the truth,” Olivia Rudeen writes songs that tell stories about life from a lonesome bird’s-eye view. The daughter of two writers, her love affair with words began at an early age. Inspired as much by Cormac McCarthy as Sheryl Crow, Rudeen writes observational and poignant lyrics, odes to the lonely that hangs just outside the halo of the headlights on a long drive home, the melancholy oil spill rainbow on an empty corner sidewalk, the ghost of a goodbye floating in the radio static, the heartache and beauty of moments lived, loved, and lost. Originally from Denver, CO, Olivia performs 80+ shows per year all over the US. She has shared the stage with Courtyard Hounds, DeVotchKa, Ashley McBryde, Air Dubai, and Charlie Mars, among many others. Between tour dates, Olivia writes songs in her home base of Nashville with and for other artists. Her song "The Jacket," was released by Warner Bros. recording artist Ashley McBryde on her Grammy nominated debut album "Girl Going Nowhere." Olivia's music has also been featured prominently in film and television. Her co-written song "As The Crow Flies," was performed on season 5 of the hit CMT show Nashville and her songs have been featured on ABC Family’s The Vineyard and Jane By Design. Olivia's most recent singles - Brooklyn Dodgers, Looking at LA, and Time Machine - produced by Collin Pastore and Jake Finch (Lucy Dacus), are available for download and streaming on all major digital music platforms.

Getting there
The Bluebird Cafe shares a strip mall parking lot with neighboring businesses, plus an additional gravel lot behind the building. Free parking is available in both, though spaces fill quickly before shows — especially on open mic nights, when guests often line up an hour before doors. The venue is in Green Hills, about fifteen minutes from downtown Nashville.
