Nashville, TN 37203 (800) 321-6008 |
March 28 - April 1, 2023 (Nashville, Tennessee)
Dates for 2024 TBD The Tin Pan South Songwriters Festival is the highlight each year in Nashville, TN. Music fans come from all over the world to see dozens of performances over the 5 days and to experience the songs and stories about their favorite hits straight from the incredibly talented songwriters that penned them. Over the 5 days, 10 venues host two shows a night, bringing together over 250 songwriters for an experience like no other. In October 1967, forty-two songwriters got together and formed the Nashville Songwriters Association, because they knew their profession needed a voice. Today, NSAI is the largest not-for-profit member trade association for songwriters in the world. In 1993, a handful of songwriters and the staff at NSAI produced the first Tin Pan South Songwriters Festival. Now Tin Pan South embodies the spirit of the songwriting community.
