Well Americana week is finally here and today starts the tough decisions of where to go and who to see. Below you’ll find the complete list of showcases so good luck. This also marks the third consecutive Americana Conference trip organized by Sounds Australia, a government-supported music industry organization dedicated to spreading the music of Australia abroad. Since 2010, Sounds Australia has maintained a strategic partnership with the Nashville-based Americana Music Association that promotes the exchange of American and Australian music between the two countries.
“We’ve had many acts from Australia the last few years, and it’s been really exciting,” says Americana Music Association Executive Director Jed Hilly. “This year is extra special for us with Kasey Chambers and Shane Nicholson attending. They are truly in the pantheon of great Americana acts – they are Artists, which goes beyond the borders of nations. There are several great supporters of the community Down Under. I see that growing, and who knows, maybe we’ll have an Americana outpost some day soon!”
Pound for pound this is the best music festival around so if you haven’t bought a wrist band click here.
