2019 AmericanaFest: By the Numbers

2019 AmericanaFest took over Nashville during the week of Sept. 10–15, with the Honors & Awards ceremony on Sept. 11 at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium serving as the week’s centerpiece. The Honors and Awards ceremony was taped for broadcast and is scheduled to premiere on Nov. 23 in a special episode of Austin City Limits on PBS.

Nashville’s 20th annual celebration of Americana music was another resounding success, with many of the figures exceeding totals from previous years.
