HOW TO PLAY TIN PAN SOUTH

WHEN/HOW TO SUBMIT FOR THE 2027 FESTIVAL:

The submission period will begin after Thanksgiving 2026, check back at the time for the submission form!

Keep this in mind 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 provided button 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.
