Wednesday evening, the Ryman once again played host to a phenomenal assembly of talent as fans flocked in for the 24th Americana Honors and Awards. The happening — each year it feels like a star-studded concert during which an awards ceremony happens to break out — is the keystone event of AmericanaFest, which continues through Saturday.
Rising singer-songwriter Jesse Welles received the Spirit of Americana Award, co-presented with the First Amendment Center (Spirit of Americana Free Speech in Music Award).
Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats and producer Brad Cook made Album of the Year with South of Here.
Congratulations to both! Read the full article here.
