NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The 33rd annual Tin Pan South Songwriters Festival is gearing up to take over Music City for another epic week.
It’s happening March 25-29 and will be bigger than ever this year.
For many decades, Tin Pan South has been known as the must-experience songwriter week for fans. During the 5-day fest, audiences can expect nearly 450 songwriters gathering in Music City to grace stages throughout the town.
Fans not only get to see the writers behind the songs, but get to learn about their writing process and hear them perform a hit or two.
With an abundance of shows to present this year, the festival will be bigger than ever with the addition of an 11th venue to the lineup.
Those include Analog at Hutton Hotel, The Bluebird Café, Hard Rock Café, The Listening Room Café, Station Inn, Love & Exile and several more.

This is a story I immediately went home and showed my boys - young athletes with big dreams. The Vanderbilt football team's success has stolen the spotlight - what I love about Steve Layman's story is he reveals the individual hardships it took to get there. As Clark Lea says, "we all have scuff marks." This team proves perseverance pays off!
