The Americana Music Association's AmericanaFest starts this week in Nashville. Once again, World Cafe is partnering with our friends at Roots Radio WMOT in Nashville, NPR Music and Nashville PBS and to present the AmericanaFest Day Stage performances Wednesday through Friday.
"We're excited to be partnering once again with World Cafe affiliate WMOT and the Americana Music Association for the ninth annual AmericanaFest Day Stage. The lineup this year reflects a broad range of musical styles that all find a welcome home at Americana," says Bruce Warren, World Cafe's executive producer.
The AmericanaFest Day Stage will be broadcasting and video webcasting live this year at Eastside Bowl in Madison, Tenn. Anchoring the shows will be WMOT's audio/video production team, working with student techs from Middle Tennessee State University and the MTSU mobile production truck.
