NASHVILLE NIGHTS
INTERNATIONAL SONGWRITERS FESTIVAL
A unique festival
QUALITY / INTEGRITY / INTIMACY
Nashville Nights International Songwriters Festival is a venue festival in Odense, Denmark. The festival takes place in the city center at seven established venues. Most of the concerts are seated. Every year Nashville Nights invite some of the best songwriters and artists in the World to perform and talk about their work. As an audience you will experience a lot of “hygge” and intimate concerts you can’t find anywhere else. You’ll get close to the artists and songwriters and hear unique versions of their songs.
The festival connects some of the World’s greatest songwriters, upcoming talents, and an engaged audience in an international hub in the heart of Denmark. You will witness the magic that happens when you let the songwriters present and deliver their songs in the right settings. It is a core ambition for Nashville Nights to help establish and expand songwriting networks across national borders and to spread awareness of the craft of songwriting founded in the american songwriting tradition. The festival wants to strengthen the ties between European and International songwriters, inspire new collaborations, give the audience unique musical experiences and invite new talent on stage.
Based on the American songwriting traditions, which has laid the foundation for popular music as we know it today, we focus on country / roots music and all the genres it has inspired and still does – from americana and blues to rock, pop and indie.

WRITERS ROUNDS
The festival’s unique brand. Three artists sitting on stage, each with an acoustic guitar and a microphone. The songs and the stories behind are in focus, and the delivery is honest. No glamorous wrapping, but straight from the heart, vulnerable and open, and very intimate. It can be touching, heartbreaking, sad or funny – and the audience is always captivated. The bar is raised to the highest level at the Nashville Nights writers rounds.
