Nashville Nights International Songwriters Festival is a music and talk festival in Odense, Denmark. The festival takes place in the city center at six established venues and one tent stage. 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. The Nashville Nights International Songwriters Festival showed in its first year (2021) that the festival can bring people together from near and far. Artists from seven different countries and guests from eight, including from all over Denmark. The mission is again in 2022 to inspire and develop networks between songwriters and musicians, nationally and internationally, and to give the audience experiences they can only get at the Nashville Nights International Songwriters Festival in Odense.
