Nashville, TN – (February 26, 2026) – The Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI), alongside presenting partner Regions Bank, is excited to share the eagerly awaited line-up and schedule for the 34rd annual Tin Pan South Songwriters Festival! Ticket sales will begin on Tuesday, March 3, at 8:00 a.m. Central and will roll out according to the schedule below.
Occurring March 24-28, 2026, 10 beloved Nashville venues will each host dozens of songwriters as they fill the attentive listening rooms with stories and performances. From current top radio hits to timeless selections and sing-along anthems, attendees are in for an experience like no other as they get a glimpse of how their favorite songs were created, hearing them in their purest form straight from the songwriters. 30 event partners and over 50 organizations, including publishers, management, and various associations, have helped bring the 2026 festival vision to life, and fans can expect five days filled with non-stop entertainment and joy.
Nashville will come alive Tuesday, March 24 with the first set of shows starting at 6:00pm Central at each of the following participating venues: 3rd and Lindsley Nashville (stage presented by Jack Daniel's), 1865 Club (stage presented by Tennessee Association of Broadcasters), Anzie Blue, Analog at Hutton Hotel (stage presented by Tennessee Entertainment Commission), The Bluebird Cafe (stage presented by Southbound Tequila), The Commodore Grille (stage presented by beyerdynamic), The Cowan at Topgolf (stage presented by Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp), Cross-Eyed Critters Watering Hole (stage presented by Musicnotes), Love and Exile (stage presented by Nashville Scene), and Station Inn (stage presented by Custom House at Guitar Center).
In anticipation of the forthcoming announcement, earlier this week festival partners, media, and supporters joined together at Analog at Hutton Hotel to discuss the upcoming line-up reveal, meet the Tin Pan staff, and enjoy a small preview of what is to come at the festival! Songwriters STEVE BOGARD, CAYLEE HAMMACK, and RHYS RUTHERFORD, who will each be appearing at the festival, took to the stage to share a behind-the-scenes story and perform a self-penned song. Rutherford opened with a heartfelt ballad recently written after recalling a story about his Great Grandmother, Hammack filled the room with her song “Small Town Hypocrite,” after recounting her personal relationship tribulations that led to the tune, and Bogard completed the sneak preview with a medley of the George Strait hits, “Carrying Your Love With Me” and Carried Away”, both written by Bogard and Jeffrey David Stevens. The early “mini-round” left everyone wanting more and ready to usher in the music-filled week!
