W.O. Smith Music School to Benefit From Tin Pan South Show

Features Barry Dean, Luke Laird, Lori McKenna and Special Guests


Each year, the Tin Pan South Songwriters Festival presented by Regions Bank donates receipts from the door of one show to a non-profit organization. This year’s beneficiary is the W.O. Smith Music School, which makes affordable, quality music instruction available to children from low-income families. Hit songwriters Barry Dean, Luke Laird, Lori McKenna and special guests will entertain at this special show at 6 p.m., Tuesday, March 26, 2019 at 3rd & Lindsley.


”W.O. Smith Music School is such an integral part of the Nashville music industry and a partner to NSAI. They do invaluable work in the community, and we are proud to be able to highlight that and support them in even a small way through this Tin Pan South partnership,” said festival director Jennifer Turnbow.


“We are thrilled to be chosen as this year’s beneficiary by NSAI and honored by the generosity of Barry Dean, Luke Laird, and Lori McKenna,” added Jonah Rabinowitz, Executive Director of the W.O. Smith Music School. 


Produced by Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI), the 27th Annual Tin Pan South Songwriters Festival Presented by Regions Bank will take place March 26-30, 2019 at 10 of Nashville’s top music venues. The popular Fast Access passes are sold out, but cash admission for individual shows not already at the posted capacity will be an option at most shows.
