Americana at festivals

Americana is the umbrella the Americana Music Association uses for American roots music: country, folk, blues, soul, bluegrass, gospel and rock, played with fiddles and banjos as often as with a full electric band. Americana festivals sit between a country fair and a songwriter night. You get outdoor stages and campsites, but also songwriter rounds and club showcases.

The genre's industry week is AMERICANAFEST, run by the association in Nashville each September, with daytime panels and night showcases spread across the city's venues. In San Francisco, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass has been free in Golden Gate Park every October since 2001; it added the word Hardly in 2004 to cover its wider lineup. In England, The Long Road brings country, Americana and roots to Stanford Hall in Leicestershire in late August, with honky-tonk bars and camping on site.
