Described by MOJO Magazine as the "roots alternative to the GRAMMYs® and South by Southwest," our annual AMERICANAFEST℠: The Americana Music Festival & Conference has become a destination event for music lovers and industry members alike.

Each year, AMERICANAFEST℠ brings together legendary artists, the next generation of rising stars and industry professionals over six days of music and education while showcasing the breadth of Americana's influence on a global scale.

Our 18th annual festival will take place September 12-17, 2017 in Nashville, TN.

The conference portion features numerous panels, seminars and much more, proudly providing Music City's most educational music industry forum. Daytime conference activities and sessions will be held at our host hotel, The Westin Nashville.

Conference registrants are also eligible to purchase tickets to the Americana Honors & Awards, our hallmark event that will spotlight our genre's newcomers and legends at the historically cool Ryman Auditorium on September 13.

In addition, electrifying evening showcases are held at several prestigious downtown music venues. Check out our first round of showcasing artists here.

Simply put, AMERICANAFEST℠ has something for anyone who's passionate about music.
