Big Jim hit the nail on the head. It's who you know, not what you know. Songwriting has nothing to do with it. If your intent is to write songs to get cuts from the major talent pool, and you don't know anyone even remotely close to the talent pool, I'd go by Lotto tickets.

They provide a far better return. smile

cheers, niteshift


ahhhh good advice....just quit... because the world don't work that way any more, according to Nightshift.

Well why don't you folks that believe Nashville doesn't count for much enlighten the rest of us. Where else can a songwriter pitch their songs.
Now remember most of these folks live in the USA. Not Europe, Not Australia, Not Japan, So if they don't pitch in Nashville where do they pitch? If there are places in Australia that we can pitch our songs would you post a list please?
Taxi? along with a zillion other show tune wannabees. LA, maybe you can tell us what Publishers are available in LA? What about New York? Any Publishers there accepting submissions?
Please, enlighten us.
Next time I am in Nashville and I run into a person from another country I will ask them.
Oh! wait. I already did that. They said there weren't really any opportunities in Australia.

Oh Big Jim

Or are there just too many wannabe country writers on this forum. Nashville is the last place I would pitch any of my songs.

Where are you pitching? Have you had any luck?
