Freakinfantasic Haley, we showcased ("Habits") in a little bar in Nashville, you might heard of it, THE BLUEBIRD CAFE, the crowd love it and gave you a standing ovation, you have a lot of loyal fans In Nashville

The Bluebird Cafe:

The Bluebird Cafe is a dynamic 90 seat music club in Nashville, Tennessee that opened in 1982. The club is famous for intimate, acoustic music performed by its composers. Some performers are established singer/songwriters, and others perform hit songs written by other artists.

...on June 6, 1987 a young man by the name of Garth Brooks walked through the door.

Brooks aced his audition and was booked one month later for a Writer's Night. Shortly thereafter, he was booked for a showcase. It was during this showcase, in which Brooks was filling in for another songwriter who missed the gig, that Lynn Shults, the A&R representative at Capitol Records, saw Brooks. Brooks was signed to Capitol the very next day.

...At fifteen years old, young singer/songwriter Taylor Swift was also discovered at the Bluebird Cafe by music executive Scott Borchetta.

...The Bluebird Cafe was acquired by the Nashville Songwriters Association International on January 1, 2008.

Kieth Urban was still gap-toothed and ruffled-looking when he scored his first chart-topping single with 2000's "But for the Grace of God," proof that the guy began building his empire not on good looks, but on the strength of his material. Here, he performs an acoustic version of that song at the Bluebird Cafe, during the same year "But for the Grace of God" topped the charts.

There are other Idol ties too. Including Kree Harrison and Steven Tyler.

^^^Given its obvious country music slant, it's nice that the Bluebird Cafe would put something decidedly not country into the rotation. That it was received well is even better.

That's pretty cool. I thought it was an odd fit initially, but actually the song tells a country style story.

And then there's this...
