WE ARE EXCITED TO BEGIN PREPARING FOR THE 33RD ANNUAL TIN PAN SOUTH SONGWRITERS FESTIVAL, SET FOR MARCH 25-29, 2025!
THE SUBMISSION PERIOD IS NOW CLOSED AND SUBMISSIONS ARE UNDER REVIEW.
THE SUBMISSION DEADLINE WAS FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 2025
GENERAL GUIDELINES:
If you would like to submit a show for consideration:
*Read about the festival's purpose and performer guidelines.
*Assemble a group of 3-4 songwriters.
*Confirm that everyone is available to play on the same dates and at the same times.
*Access the application through the button below and submit!
Since Tin Pan South is a fundraiser that supports the efforts of NSAI, the Selection Committee is looking for competitive submissions which consist of strong, acoustic rounds that are able to fill our intimate, local venues. We are using up to ten venues each night for nearly 100 shows throughout the week, so bring us your BEST lineup!
Additionally, while we do offer the option to submit as an individual performer looking to join a round, we HIGHLY suggest finding a group and submitting a full round. The vast majority of our selections come to us as complete shows, and many talented individual performers are unfortunately left without a spot when submitting without a group. There is always the possibility of exceptions, but we want to provide as much information and guidance as possible to give everyone the best shot.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE WAS JANUARY 10, 2025
After last year’s positive feedback and overwhelming success with the pre-ticketing of each individual show, we will be moving forward with that concept again this year! Every show will be advertised and ticketed 3 weeks in advance of show-date via Ticketweb. This gives us greater marketing advantages on a show-by-show basis, eliminates weather issues that sometimes resulted in poor turn-out, and provides our patrons with assurances that they will be able to attend the shows they want if they have purchased their tickets.
For performers, we will have 2 tickets (1 is complimentary) to your show guaranteed available for your purchase/claiming with an access code we will provide until 48 hours before your show, after which we will release to the public any unclaimed performer tickets. Obviously, you are also welcome to purchase tickets for additional guests via the website to the extent they are available.
