Ray Stevens CabaRay Showroom
When visiting Nashville,
the Grand
Ole Opry, Country
Music Hall of Fame
and Ryman Auditorium have always
been “must see” stops on any itinerary
and Ray Stevens CabaRay Showroom
is now added to that list. Whether
you visit for an outstanding dinner and
show starring Ray Stevens in concert or
other great artists, sit in on a live TV
production or just drop by to visit the
gift shop and see the beautiful venue
for yourself, you can count on receiving
a warm southern welcome and being
thoroughly entertained!
Legendary music and comedy icon
Ray Stevens performs every Friday and
Saturday evening and select Thursdays
at 7:30pm, with dinner seating
at 6:00pm. Come early and enjoy
the lively piano bar from 5:00pm until
show time and after the show until
closing. The Ray Stevens CabaRay, located
in West Nashville at 5724 River
Road, is complete with premium dinner
and beverage service for 500 guests
on the main level and show only balcony
seating for 200 and ample free parking.
There’s a lot to see at the CabaRay
even when no one is performing. Ray
has decorated the interior as an homage
to his colleagues and mentors,
the giants of the Nashville recording
industry, and of course, there are also
lots of memorabilia from Ray’s iconic
career to see and enjoy.
A prominent feature of the CabaRay
Showroom is the Bill Lowery High
Spirits Emporium Piano Bar. There is
a huge picture of the affable Mr. Lowery
overlooking the entire area. If it
weren’t for Bill Lowery, there may not
have been a Ray Stevens. Mr. Lowery
hired the 17 year old Ray to write songs
for his publishing company which led
to a record deal with Capitol Records
and the rest is history. Singer and keyboard
artist, John Jonethis, performs
live in the CabaRay Piano Bar every
Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening
5pm to 7pm and post show until closing,
singing favorites from The American
Songbook plus many of today’s
