“Last year Curb Music provided a stage area, American Songwriter Magazine lent a hand and the Nashville Music Guide helped sponsor the event. “It’s a grass roots effort.“ says fest manager Cornelius “Popcorn” Robertson. “Sure Fire Music, one of Nashville’s oldest original publishers on Music Row hosted the Campfire stage.” Their will also be booths with displays and information on music related products at the fest.
Songwriters from the novice to the pro will perform their original songs. “Everybody that comes to play will have the opportunity.” says stage manager “Toast” Toalston. “There are scheduled and open play areas. This is a gathering of writers from all roots of music. Don‘t be shy.”
