The Lumineers to kickoff of the AMA's 17th annual festival & conference

The Americana Music Association expands its festival and conference in its 17th year by announcing its most ambitious kickoff event ever featuring The Lumineers at the Ascend Amphitheater Tuesday, September 20, 2016.

“We’re very excited to have the Americana Music Association presenting our show at Ascend Amphitheater.  Nashville is a very special place for us, aside from our love of the amazing music scene and history,  both our label Dualtone and agent are based there, and it’s where we mixed the new album.” – Wesley Schultz

The daytime conference will feature the best and the brightest in the music industry kicking off with a keynote address from legendary producer T Bone Burnett.  The capstone event of the week-long roots music celebration is the Americana Honors & Awards program taking place at the historically cool Ryman Auditorium on Wednesday, September 21.
