Americana Music News — The Friday night showcases at the Americana Music Festival feature plenty of new talent, but also a chance to re-visit old favorites.
Among the artists who were Americana before we had a name for it are Darrell Scott, John Hiatt, Chuck Mead, the McCrary Sisters and the BoDeans.
