The 30th Annual Tin Pan South Songwriters Festival came to a close this weekend after five days of songwriter rounds from over 400 talented songwriters.

On Friday (April 1), festival-goers were treated to performances from Bill Anderson, Buddy Cannon, Rodney Clawson, Tim Nichols, Bob DiPiero, JT Harding, Kelley Lovelace, Dan Wilson, Corey Crowder, RaeLynn, David Hodges, Alex Kline, Smith Ahnquist, and more at venues across Music City.

On Saturday (April 2), the festival closed with music from Natalie Hemby, Jeffrey Steele, Steve Dorff, Kelly Archer, Trent Harmon, Neil Medley, Nathan Chapman, Kevin Kadish, and more.

In addition to the rounds and networking events that took place this year during Tin Pan South, Nashville Songwriters Association International also hosted the first-ever in-person NSAI Member Awards, presented by Regions Bank. The invitation-only event was held at Analog at the Hutton Hotel in Nashville and included an array of performances.

“We have thousands of songwriter members who may not describe themselves as professional songwriters, but write amazing songs, are outstanding performers, and deserve recognition for their work,” said NSAI Executive Director Bart Herbison. “This is one of the most exciting additions to NSAI’s programming in years and we applaud Regions Bank for underwriting this event. Nothing could be more in line with the part of our mission statement that says: ‘to educate, elevate and celebrate the songwriter.'”
