Tenney

The Bluebird Cafe

Upon arriving at the Bluebird Cafe, Tenney and her family get settled into a table. Jaya shortly joins them. As people start to arrive, Tenney sees Ellie Cale and her Uncle Zane, the head of Mockingbird Records. Even Portia arrives! And at the very end, she sees Holliday with her mother.

As Tenney steps up to the stage, she begins to get nervous. Her dress feels scratchy, and Holliday’s words are clanging around in her head. Tenney tentatively introduces herself, and stars her song. But her tempo is off and her A string is sharp. She tries to readjust, but ends up dropping her pick.
