AmericanaFest Announces Initial 2019 Festival Lineup

Artists, fans, and independent music industry will come together once again in Nashville this September for AmericanaFest. Part music conference, part fan festival, it combines scores of venues across Nashville for hundreds of performances and showcases. The 20th Annual festival will include some 300 total performers when all is said and done, and span six total days from September 10th to the 15th. From country and bluegrass, to folk, blues, roots rock, and everything in between, from up-and-comers to legends, new venues to historic spots, AmericanaFest will cover it all.

The Americana Music Association has just announced the initial lineup of juried artists to perform in 2019. The lineup includes country legend Tanya Tucker, Texas music mainstays Jack Ingram and Bruce Robison with Kelly Willis, bluegrass legends in the making Billy Strings and Molly Tuttle, and mainstream country songwriting legends and performers Lori McKenna and Brandy Clark. A large host of up-and-comers highly touted by Saving Country Music also make the list, including Emily Scott Robinson, Charles Wesley Godwin, Caroline Spence, and Logan Ledger. Saving Country Music’s 2018 Top Live Act Mike and the Moonpies will also make the trek to Nashville, as will the 2018 Album of the Year winner Sarah Shook and the Disarmers.

Many more names will be added to the lineup in the months ahead. Also part of AmericanaFest is the Americana Music Awards held on Wednesday of the event at the Mother Church of Country Music, the Ryman Auditorium. The nominees were announced earlier this month. Wristbands that get you into most all AmericanaFest performances go for only $75-$90 and can be purchased here.
