About
Rudy’s Jazz Room opened in 2017 to help fill a gap in Nashville’s music scene. Co-owner Adam Charney, a Nashville native, was inspired by his favorite jazz clubs in New York City and partnered with longtime friend Michael Braden to establish an authentic jazz experience in Music City. Chef and co-owner Michael Braden, born in New Orleans, leads the kitchen and its authentic New Orleans menu. The venue is presented as a tribute to the traditional jazz club experience, pairing serious live music with food and drink rooted in New Orleans tradition.
