Welcome to the Tin Pan Alley Project
Tin Pan Alley was the popular music industry that gave us the great

and including “Over the Rainbow,” “White Christmas,” “Summertime,” and
thousands of others!
This site offers information, advice, and
community for users, enthusiasts, and scholars of the wonderful songs
of Tin Pan Alley—and more!
(It is also still in development, so please forgive the scarcity of information—as yet—and visit again soon to read even more about Tin Pan Alley!)
