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.
