Nashville's pop community gathers to listen to unreleased music and share feedback in a safe, trusted environment.
RSVP NowWhat is PLAYBACK?
PLAYBACK is where Nashville's pop creators bring their unreleased music to get real feedback from industry tastemakers and fellow creators. The approach is constructive, positive, and built on trust.
Pop music is a spectrum — so pop-leaning indie, hip-hop, R&B, and songwriter submissions are all welcome. Submitting music doesn't guarantee your song will be played, but we'll do our best to accommodate as many people as possible.
Your Hosts
Two of Nashville's pop music tastemakers guide the event, offer their thoughts, and pass the mic to the community.
