Nashville rolled out the red carpet for the annual American Music Festival (AmericanaFest) from September 13-17.

Defined by its indefinability, Americana music offers up an array of genres including rock, pop, country, blues and bluegrass. Once again, we were there to document the sights and sounds of music’s greatest week.
