Why Join the Americana Music Association?

With your Americana Music Association membership, you are supporting an organization that gives a voice to artists that might otherwise not be heard.

We are a professional not-for-profit trade association whose mission is to advocate for the authentic voice of American Roots Music around the world. We conduct an ongoing campaign to help brand and raise awareness of Americana via grassroots marketing, social media, and, best of all, word of mouth. We focus on efforts to enhance the general awareness of the Americana community, taking the form of projects that increase our visibility – all with the ultimate goal of connecting artists to an appreciative, discerning audience.
