Analog

What to Expect

Analog sits on the second floor of the Hutton Hotel. The room feels like a boutique theater, with a small raised stage framed by red velvet curtains. Deep jewel-tone furniture fills the space: burgundy tufted sofas and teal velvet ottomans. A gold-and-teal medallion pattern covers the wall behind the stage. A sculptural metal light fixture hangs overhead, keeping the lighting low and moody. The sound system is a custom Bose setup built for the room's acoustics, and the bar runs a full craft cocktail program with its own mixologist. It's home to Recorded Live at Analog, a concert series taped in the room and aired nationally through Nashville PBS. Past tapings have included Slash, Sierra Ferrell, Old Crow Medicine Show, and Eric Church, who surprised the crowd one night with a cover of Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark." Recurring nights include Southern Rounds, a songwriter series. The room also regularly hosts TEDx Nashville events, which range from live storytelling built around music to author conversations. Most shows run 21 and up. A ticket gets you $10 flat self-parking in the hotel's garage, or $15 for valet, plus 15 percent off dinner beforehand at Evelyn's, the hotel restaurant downstairs.
