I had a feeling this year's Americana Music Festival & Conference was going to be amazing and, wow, was I right. The Americana Music Association announced thirty-three of the artists that will be performing during their festival September 18-22. Last year there were about 90 - 100 artists that were involved, so if this is just the beginning then I can't wait to see the end result. The festival is held at multiple venues on four nights of the week, so you have to pick and choose which artists you are going to see. 2013 looks like it is probably going to require some tough decisions. I have put asterisks by the shows were you are likely to see me!
