The benefit for Bonaparte’s Retreat at 3rd & Lindsley drew a packed house to see Emmylou Harris host a round with Clare Bowen, Chris Carmack, Jonathan Jackson, Colin Linden, Brandon Young and special guests. The late show, starring Shane McAnally, Kacey Musgraves and Josh Osborne was equally overflowing. Perennial Tin Pan favorite Station Inn was as popular among festival goers as ever all week.

Produced by Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI), Tin Pan South is the world’s largest all-songwriter festival. More than 350 talented songwriters performed 92 shows at 10 of Nashville’s top music venues. Thousands of music fans attend the event annually to hear songwriters tell stories behind hit songs they have written and perform the songs as they were originally composed. Regions Bank returned for the ninth year as the presenting sponsor of the event.
