I just wrote some of this in another section of the forum for somebody who's visiting Nashville this week. There's a LOT of great alt-country/Americana music here so I thought I'd post it here too, and I'm playing several shows that I might as well plug!
Here's a link to a schedule of all the Americana conference shows; $35 gets you into all on them for 4 nights, a great deal if you're into alt-country and Americana stuff.

FWIW, I'm playing several AMA shows: Friday at the "Station Inn" with Dave Peterson, great old style country and swing and a fantastic band; Bryan Sutton on archtop electric (you'd think it was Hank Garland, I swear!), Shad Cobb on fiddle, and Dennis Crouch on bass, with a great drummer on just snare and hi-hat.
Saturday night I'm playing a set with Peter Cooper at the Station Inn (and hoping there aren't TOO many people expecting to hear Lloyd Green!). At the "Cannery Ballroom" I'm in the "house band" for a one hour Glen Campbell tribute show with Jim Lauderdale, Raul Malo, Dave Gonzales and Glen himself for the last 4 songs... should be fun! And then the "Sin City Allstars" band doing lots of Gram Parsons, Merle and Buck etc. for a two hour closing party at midnight; tradionally pretty much anybody from the whole week of shows might sit in for a song or two.
Any other forumites playing this event? |
