Hi - I'm Barbara Cloyd. Welcome to the home page of my website.

Bluebird Cafe, Nashville TN

I have always loved songs and songwriting. What I discovered when I moved to Nashville in 1983 is that I also love songwriters. When I was hired in 1986 to book shows and start the open mic at the Bluebird Cafe (which I still host every Monday) I discovered that I love working with other songwriters. After I had a hit song on the charts with Lorrie Morgan's "I Guess You Had To Be There" (click here if you want to hear my version) other songwriters started asking me for feedback and advice and I discovered my passion for teaching. So I've designed this website to be a resource for songwriters. It's full of information about the craft and the business of songwriting and also information about the services I offer to help you reach your goals.. I hope it's helpful.
