About Commodore Grille

The Commodore Grille started as a songwriter venue in the early 80s, almost the same time as the famous Bluebird where they often competed for talent each night. Steven Farmer, songwriter host for Commodore Grille in the 90s, convinced Vince Gill to play one night in exchange for a slice of one of their popular cheesecakes. Previous staff shared many well-known artists who have stayed and played in the hotel over the years from Bob Dylan, Garth Brooks, Faith Hill, Britney Spears, KISS, Prince, and so many more!
