About
Songwriters for Streams is Harpeth Conservancy’s annual celebration of music, community, and conservation, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Harpeth River. This unique event brings together award-winning songwriters and music lovers for an unforgettable afternoon of live performances, all while supporting our mission to protect clean water and healthy rivers in Tennessee.
Held every April in honor of Earth Month, Songwriters for Streams takes place at the stunning riverside home of Libby and Nick Sieveking in Franklin, TN. Guests enjoy a relaxed, picnic-style gathering with blankets, charcuterie, cocktails, and firepits creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. With engaging family-friendly activities and a lineup of acclaimed artists, it’s an event that connects people to the natural beauty we’re working to protect.
Proceeds from Songwriters for Streams—including ticket sales, sponsorships, and a live auction featuring exclusive memorabilia—support Harpeth Conservancy’s work to ensure clean water and thriving river ecosystems for generations to come.
