We enjoyed listening to the songwriters but the Collingwood Songwriters Festival was poorly organized. We received so many emails leading up to the event about small details that didn't concern us and gave the impression that the organizers were largely winging it. When we arrived at the first showcase to get our wristbands they said they didn't have any more, which makes no sense as they knew how many tickets were sold. There was no table service at Black Bellows and Side Launch. During the final showcase, interruptions kept being made for announcements for VIP tacos and things. We were hoping for a true Nashville experience like the Listening Room or the Bluebird Cafe, where you can just relax and enjoy amazing music, but that wasn't what we got. Also, all the performers on the last day were men and several of them were local (we thought from the advertising that all the performers were being brought from Nashville).
