Legendary and heartfelt, Alison Krauss, Bob Weir, Steve Earle and Joe Henry will open the Americana Music Association’s 15th Annual Honors & Awards show with a musical presentation to honor the legacies of Guy Clark, Merle Haggard, Dr. Ralph Stanley and Allen Toussaint – giants of Americana, and the American musical landscape.
The tribute will begin promptly at 6:30 PM on the stage of the historic Ryman Auditorium, Wednesday, September 21, 2016.
Known for promoting the next generation of stars, including Jason Isbell, Margo Price and The Lumineers, the Americana Music Association has always revered and paid tribute to the legacy and artistic history of its tightly knit community.  In keeping with tradition, the Honors & Awards show will close in celebration of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band who marks its 50th anniversary this year. The band will be joined by several artists in an unforgettable performance of “Will The Circle Be Unbroken.”
