In the spring of 2021, Nashville lost an extraordinary country music songwriter and friend, Pam Belford. For almost 40 years, Pam wrote and performed songs at many well known venues including Commodore Grille and the Bluebird. In her career she eventually scored several cuts with George Strait, Dean Dillon and many others. This evening, the Commodore, friends, and family, spend an evening celebrating the life of Pam Belford. We hope you are able to join us to remember her legacy.
The Commodore Grille is a unique restaurant and live music venue located inside the Holiday Inn Vanderbilt. Open daily for breakfast and dinner. Live music is hosted 7 nights a week at the Commodore Grille featuring original songs from the original performers. The live music begins nightly at 6pm with Happy Hour specials from 5pm-6pm.
