One of the largest gathering of songwriters in the world got underway Tuesday night (March 29) in Nashville. The Tin Pan South Festival features writers from all genres of music, offering the chance to catch over 400 songwriters performing at nine venues scattered throughout Music City.

Nashville nightspots including the Bluebird Café, Hard Rock Café and Station Inn will present both hit songwriters and up-and-comers throughout the event. Whether attending a themed event, such as the Texas Heritage Songwriters Hall of Fame featuring Lee Roy Parnell ('Heart's Desire'), Michael Martin Murphey ('Wildfire'), Gary Nicholson ('One More Last Chance') and Bruce Channel ('Hey Baby') on Wednesday (March 30), or Out of the Box: The Cutting Edge of the Nashville Underground, which pulls together Sam Cooper ('East Nashville Girls'), Chris Gantry ('Dreams of the Everyday Housewife'), Alex King ('What If I') and Shane Piaseck ('Monday Creek') on Thursday (March 31), there is sure to be a performance for any musical taste.
