"Subterranean cavern hosting a variety of rotating musical performances, with concessions available."
The Caverns is a live music venue and cave tour destination in Pelham, Tennessee, built inside a naturally-occurring subterranean amphitheater at the base of the Cumberland Plateau in Grundy County. The venue hosts concerts underground for up to 1,200 standing-room guests and above ground for up to 6,000, and is home to The Caverns Sessions (formerly Bluegrass Underground), a PBS television series featuring roots-rock, jam band, R&B, country, soul, folk, Americana, and bluegrass artists; on-site amenities include the Caverns Tavern, a campground with RV and yurt options, and guided and adventure cave tours. The Caverns was named Theater of the Year by the Academy of Country Music, its first ACM nomination and win; the venue was also described by Rolling Stone as 'Tennessee's version of Colorado's stunning Red Rocks Amphitheatre, but smaller and deep underground,' and by Garden and Gun as 'The South's Coolest New Music Venue.' Located at 555 Charlie Roberts Road, Pelham, TN, approximately 90 minutes from Nashville, 60 minutes from Chattanooga, and less than three hours from Atlanta, Birmingham, and Knoxville. Visitors consistently highlight the cave acoustics, welcoming staff, free water at shows, the lighted wooded trail to the venue, on-site camping options, and the overall sense of being immersed in a natural underground setting.
