Americana Music Awards

The Americana music community will gather in Nashville this fall to celebrate "distinguished members" of the Americana music community with Americana Music Association's member-voted trophies and Lifetime Achievement Awards.

Yes, the nominees for Artist of the Year are all women -- but there's another factor to this nominations list that's even more striking.

Nope -- Jason Isbell isn't anywhere on this list.

Some of Americana's brightest stars and most talented vocalists teamed up to honor Aretha Franklin with a rendition of "Chain of Fools" during the 2018 Americana Honors & Awards ceremony.

Presley is only the third musician in history to receive the award after their death.

The Milk Carton Kids kicked off the 2018 Americana Honors & Awards Ceremony with a satirical examination of the music.

Isbell admitted his three victories left him "conflicted" and sparked a conversation about diversity at the awards show.

What an incredible evening!

The 2018 Americana Music Awards took place live from the Ryman Auditorium on Sept. 12.

Get ready, Americana fans!
