TIN PAN SOUTH 2026

If you’ve ever ugly-cried to a country song, this is where that damage was done. Tin Pan South is Nashville’s annual songwriter takeover, with hitmakers, deep cuts, and the stories they probably shouldn’t tell, packed into the city’s best listening rooms. No pyro. No ego. Just unreal songs, in the round, from the people who wrote them. Tickets on sale starting tomorrow, March 3rd.
