Songwriters compete for chance to perform at Bluebird

JACKSON, Tenn.– Songwriters compete for a chance to perform at a well-known venue.

Fifteen songwriters performed at the Legends of Tennessee Music Museum in Jackson on Saturday night.

Four qualifiers have the chance to perform their song at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville in front of producers for the possibility of getting signed to a record label.

It’s all part of a statewide celebration of songwriters.

“It’s more than just music. Music is the driving force that brings people to Tennessee. It’s the primary reason, other than to see your grandmother, to come to Tennessee,” John Reitzammer, with new business development for the museum, said.

The last week in February is Tennessee Songwriters’ Week.
