The term “Americana” is delightfully undefinable, blending Pop, Rock, Country, Bluegrass and Singer/Songwriter sounds into a brand that is diverse and cohesive at the same time. Each September, a troop of national touring acts descends upon Nashville for AmericanaFest, a non-stop parade of shows (even by Music City standards). This year’s festival took place from September 12-17 and Birmingham Stages was there to capture the event.
