Opening night of the 24th Annual Tin Pan South Songwriters Festival Presented by Regions Bank welcomed artists and music fans for several packed performances across Nashville.

Fans began lining up at 3:30 p.m. to see Kelsea Ballerini join her co-writers Josh Kerr, Scott Stepakoff and Forest Glen Whitehead at The Listening Room Café for a 9 p.m. round. Natalie Hemby also joined Kelsea on stage for a duet. Patrons packed a new Tin Pan South venue, The Country, to see Jessi Alexander, Maddie & Tae, Jonathan Singleton and Josh Thompson. The club was equally packed for the late show with Doobie Brothers’ Tom Johnston, John Cowan, Lara Johnston and Paul Overstreet, who added an even more humorous verse to his Blake Shelton hit “Some Beach.”

“Eye of the Tiger” Jim Peterik offered stories and song during the Whiskey Rhythm late show with Collin Raye, Keith Burns and Joie Scott. Jeffrey Steele and friends rocked Hard Rock, and The Bluebird Café was wall-to-wall packed for both the CMA Songwriters Series early show and the “Songs and Shenanigans” late show.

In two “you never know who might show up” moments, Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine was spotted in the crowd at the Commodore Grille “Notcha Mamma’s Country” show. Fresh off his ACM Awards Show performance, Chris Young took in the shows at new Tin Pan South venue Whiskey Rhythm. Young’s “Think Of You” duet partner Cassadee Pope also made a guest appearance at D0uglas Corner Cafe to sing “Wastin’ All These Tears.”
