Sturgill Simpson, Robert Ellis and More Added to Americanafest Lineup

Americana Music Association’s 15th annual Americanafest has added more than 70 artists to its already robust list of performers. Sturgill Simpson, Jim Lauderdale, The Haden Triplets, Banditos, The Black Lillies, Carolina Story, Truth & Salvage Co., and The Bros. Landreth are a few of the latest artists slated to perform during the music festival, awards show, and conference.

They will join previously announced performers including Lee Ann Womack, Angaleena Presley, Marty Stuart, The Avett Brothers, and more. Eleven music haunts across Nashville, including Jack White‘s Third Man Records, The Listening Room Cafe, Station Inn, and Cannery Ballroom, will host 160 official music showcases during the festival.

Americanafest takes place Sept. 17-21, 2014. A limited number of festival wristbands will become available in August.

On Sept. 17, many of the best in Americana will be celebrated during the Honors & Awards show, which will be held at the Ryman Auditorium. Last year, Dwight Yoakam was honored as Artist of the Year, while Shovels & Rope took home Emerging Artist of the Year, as well as Song of the Year for “Birmingham.” Rodney Crowell & Emmylou Harris were named Duo/Group of the Year, while their project Old Yellow Moon earned Album of the Year. This year, Rosanne Cash, Robert Ellis and Jason Isbell are among the top nominees.
