The 26th Annual Tin Pan South Songwriters Festival Presented by Regions Bank kicked off last night, as more than 80 songwriters hit the stages of 10 of Nashville’s top music venues. The “you never know who might show up at Tin Pan” rule held true, as several country stars joined in for special renditions of their hits.

Tin Pan South partner Southwest Airlines returned this year with their “Surprise and Delight” campaign and shocked two attendees of the CMA Songwriter Series show featuring Larry Gatlin, Terry McBride, Aaron Tippin and Charlie Worsham with round-trip tickets to anywhere the airline flies domestically or internationally. Rumor has it Southwest may pop up at another Tin Pan show or two this week.
