Ray Stevens continues his long-running Nashville residency at the CabaRay Showroom, giving visitors a chance to experience one of country music’s most unique live shows while they are in Music City. Tickets for upcoming performances are available through the official CabaRay Box Office.
The show blends music, storytelling, and comedy inside Stevens’ custom-built West Nashville venue. If you already have a Nashville trip planned, this is one of the easiest legacy-country experiences to add to your itinerary.
Unlike a typical concert, the CabaRay is a seated theater show. The evening moves through Stevens’ catalog of hits, classic country covers, and plenty of the humor that made him famous.
Stevens built the CabaRay specifically for this production. The room holds a few hundred people, which makes the experience feel personal even when the show sells out.
Visitors often pair the show with a dinner stop elsewhere in Nashville. The venue also offers light concessions and a full bar.
Don’t Miss a Presale. Get Tour Alerts First.
Join hundreds of country fans getting weekly tour announcements and presale reminders. No spam. Just what you need to know.
Nashville has plenty of loud bars and crowded Broadway stages. The CabaRay is the opposite of that.
Ray Stevens has been part of country music for decades. You probably know his songs even if you did not realize it. “The Streak,” “Mississippi Squirrel Revival,” and “Everything Is Beautiful” all came from the same guy.
What makes this show work is the room itself. Stevens built the venue to feel like a classic supper club. Good sightlines. Comfortable seating. A stage that keeps the focus on the performer.
This is also one of the few places left where country comedy still lives on stage. Stevens mixes storytelling, musicianship, and a little mischief in a way that feels old school in the best way.
If you enjoy the history of country music, this show is a fun way to spend an evening in Nashville.
Ticket Strategy
Because this is a residency, tickets often remain available close to show time. That said, weekend performances and tourist seasons can fill quickly.
Booking about a week ahead is usually the safest move if the show fits into your Nashville travel plans.
Always check the official box office first for primary inventory.
