Spend an unforgettable evening inside Buddy's Backroom, the hidden speakeasy on the third floor of Jelly Roll's Goodnight Nashville, for an intimate songwriter experience unlike anything else on Broadway.

Headliner round Stiko Per Larsson
Host: Lee Tucker
Info: Headlining this month is STIKO, one of the most compelling voices in Americana and country to come out of Scandinavia. Known in Sweden as Stiko Per Larsson, he's a seasoned troubadour from Leksand, Dalarna, with eight albums, more than 25 million streams, and a spot in Melodifestivalen 2018. Few artists have earned the title the way Stiko has: over 12 years he walked nearly 10,000 kilometers on foot to play 450 concerts, raising more than 2 million kronor for SOS Children's Villages and the Swedish Childhood Cancer Foundation. His storytelling is counted among the finest in Sweden, and his songs carry the timeless feel of classic American songwriting. A five-time Josie Music Awards nominee, he has played 3rd & Lindsley, UK Americana Music Week in London, and Nashville Nights in Denmark. Come hear the songs, and the stories behind them, up close.
