Spanning Odense’s many venues, theaters, and cafés, audiences, songwriters, and musicians from around the world gather to experience a festival that touches the hearts of most.
The Nashville Nights Festival is a unique celebration of music, songwriting – and the community that arises in those magical moments where artists and audiences meet in intimate settings and share their stories through music.
We call it a Songwriters Festival because the idea stems from the American songwriting tradition, which today is widely loved from Nashville to Næsby. It’s three days where visitors, locals, and musicians meet on equal terms and move around Odense’s charming streets, going from concert to concert – from venue to venue. This creates an atmosphere that cannot be experienced anywhere else in Denmark.
For the 6th year, Nashville Nights puts Odense on the world map as a center for vibrant singer-songwriter music. With artists from the USA, Europe, and Denmark, the festival creates an international atmosphere that brings Nashville to Funen. Our guests come from all over Denmark and abroad to experience the special encounter between talent, tradition, and new music.
The Nashville Nights Festival is not just a three-day festival – it’s a movement. We inspire young and established musicians, bring people together across borders, and create lasting connections between artists and audiences. All right in the heart of Odense.

It only takes hearing Cheley Tackett once to understand why she is one of Nashville's most celebrated emerging artists. Cheley's blend of lyrical intensity and melodic craftsmanship have earned her recognition and respect in a town where being a stand-out is a rare achievement.
American Country Magazine suggests Cheley's song "Play the One I Like" "...might be the best song that I've heard this year so far" while Roughstock.com describes her as "...a remarkable vocalist....Imagine Allison Moorer's blissfully soulful voice and you've got yourself a good comparison for Cheley." Maverick, the UK's leading independent country music magazine has this to say about Cheley: "One of the most powerful, soulful singers in the business, she writes with the deep confidence and total abandon that only a true artist is capable of. She draws her listeners in with comfortable ease and offers each and every one an original and deep personal experience."
Acclaimed as much for her songwriting as for her artistry, Cheley has won Merlefest's Chris Austin Songwriting contest, the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival's New Folk competition, Just Plain Folks' Song of the Year, Country Album of the Year, & Country Song of the Year, as well as being a finalist in the IAMA Country Song & Female Vocal Performance categories.
