Benefits For Members   

The Memphis Songwriters Association is dedicated to the advancement of songwriters in all levels and musical genres. The association has been in existence for more than three decades, working with area musicians and local music industry professionals to promote Memphis Songwriters. Each year, we host several songwriter workshops and provide a number of networking opportunities that help to foster songwriting collaborations.

The Memphis Songwriters Association also produces a "Best of MSA" members-only songwriting contest and compilation CD each year as well as a Songwriters Showcase to promote local area songwriters in the public eye.
Due to its proximity to Nashville, many of our members are country music writers but we are excited to see more Christian, blues, rock, soul and pop songwriters too, in recent years.
