AmericanaFest comes roaring back to Nashville this September after being cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic. The Americana Music Association's annual festival brings together fans, artists and industry professionals for multiple days (held this year on Sept. 22-25) of seminars, panels, networking opportunities and live music showcases.
