The Americana Music Festival will be in Nashville beginning today, Sept. 12, 2012 and will go until Saturday the 15th.
For four nights, the Americana Music Festival features approximately 100 live performances at five music venues in the vicinity of downtown Nashville.
This year’s event, the 13th Annual, will gather thousands of artists, fans and industry professionals from all over the world right here in Nashville. This year’s event promises to once again be the must-attend event for anyone who loves great music.
