When you’re the lead singer of Aerosmith — a decades-old band that has toured the world umpteen times over — you’re rarely afforded the intimacy of a small venue. That, evidently, did not stop Steven Tyler from jumping up on stage at the Bluebird Cafe while in Nashville as part of a songwriting excursion, Billboard discovered.
The legendary frontman joined collaborator Marti Frederiksen for an acoustic version of the band’s 2000 hit “Jaded”;, then tickled the ivories to perform “Dream On”;, one of the band’s most known hits.
Watch the fan-shot footage below to see Tyler make friendly with the locals, who were probably sitting closer to him than at any other show he’s ever performed.
