Tin Pan South welcomed dozens of songwriters and hundreds of listeners to venues across Nashville on Thurs., April 7.

The SESAC early show at Hard Rock Café was wall-to-wall fans, but there was complete silence when Craig Campbell sang his newest single, “The Outskirts of Heaven.” Round partners Steve Bogard, Rob Hatch and Lance Miller were visibly moved by the song.
