The Closing of Douglas Corner Leaves a Hole in Nashvilleâs Soul Looking back on a listening room where it wasnât hard to feel like an insider Tweet Share
What I remember best about hanging out at Douglas Corner, the venerable Nashville listening room that closed in May after 33 years in business, isnât the many big-time stars who played there. Yes, the cozy space on Eighth Avenue South hosted performers like Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood and Guy Clark, but I have never felt comfortable at industry-sanctioned shows. I donât recall catching Garth at Douglas Corner. Certainly, seeing the future megastar at a tiny venue in the late â80s would have been something to remember.
