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. 10 VENUES | 98 SHOWS | 400+ PERFORMERS!
