On Guest Speaker Nights, NSAI host guests ranging from songwriters to other music industry professionals to speak. This is a casual, laid-back hour where the guest will talk about their journey in the music industry and allow members to ask questions. These last 50 minutes and will broadcast live at 5:45pm CT.
*Workshops will be archived in our video library 2 weeks after broadcast.

Pitch Night is our busiest workshop each month. Members are able to pitch one original song directly to a music industry professional on Music Row. These events are “pass” or “take a copy” sessions and publishers are not required to give feedback (although many of them will). We only play a VERSE and a CHORUS of each song unless the publisher asks to hear more. We limit our pitch nights to 50 members.
