About NSAI:
The Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI), founded in 1967, consists of a body of creative minds, including songwriters from all genres of music, professional and amateur, who are committed to protecting the rights and future of the profession of songwriting and to educate, elevate and celebrate the songwriter and to act as a unifying force within the music community and the community at large. Now, over 50 years later, the Nashville Songwriters Association has become the most important “voice” for every American songwriter. The organization continues a strong record of legislative, courtroom and marketplace advocacy on behalf of the songwriting profession. From the passing of the Music Modernization Act, changing the U.S. Tax Code and creating group Copyright Infringement Insurance to becoming owners of The Bluebird Cafe, America’s premier songwriter venue, NSAI continues to grow in its achievements on behalf of those who create the music that marks the moments in our lives.
