Songwriter lineup announced for 31st Annual Tin Pan South Festival
By Preshias Harris
If anything defines the heart and soul of Music City, it is the presence of the most talented pool of songwriters found anywhere in the world. The average listener streaming or downloading songs probably has no idea who actually wrote the songs they love. Songwriters are, for the most part, anonymous.
But for the past three decades, Nashville has turned the spotlight on those unheralded creators with Tin Pan South.
Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) has revealed the lineup for the 31st Annual Tin Pan South Songwriters Festival presented by Regions Bank that will take place March 28 – April 1, 2023. Passes for the Festival are available now here. Fast Access Passes are priced at $175.00 to the general public and $145 for NSAI members.
With ten venues, one hundred shows and four hundred songwriter performances, this year’s Tin Pan South is shaping up to be one of the best.

If people only knew it’s the songwriters – that’s where it all begins. If the fans only knew I’m just like a puppet up here. If it wasn’t for you guys [Craig Wiseman and Deric Ruttan] I wouldn’t be standing up here. — Blake Shelton, at Number One party for “Came Here to Forget, August 30, 2016.
