The Music Row Freakshow is Nashville’s wildest songwriter showcase, created and hosted by Grammy Award winning songwriter Terri Jo Box. Every week at The Local in Midtown Nashville, we bring together hit writers, rising stars, and surprise guests for a night of songs, stories, and the kind of magic you can only find in Music City.

Unlike a polished concert, the Freakshow is raw, unpredictable, and honest, where the laughs are loud, the tears are sincere, and the songs are delivered straight from the people who wrote them. It’s a community hang, a writers’ round, and a variety show all rolled into one.

Over the years, the Freakshow has welcomed some of Nashville’s most prominent names alongside hungry newcomers chasing their first cut. You never know who might walk through the door, grab a guitar, and steal the night.
