Margo Price, Allison Russell, Bonnie Raitt and The War and Treaty are among the artists set to perform at the 22nd annual Americana Honors & Awards, to be held at the fabled Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on Sept. 20.
All are nominees this year. Price is vying for artist of the year, album of the year and song of the year. Russell is up for artist of the year and song of the year. Raitt is competing for song of the year for “Just Like That,” for which she won a Grammy for song of the year in March. The War and Treaty is up for duo/group of the year, which they won last year.
Other nominees who are set to perform on the show include Angel Olsen, Brandi Carlile, Hermanos Gutiérrez, Nickel Creek, Adeem the Artist, Sunny War and William Prince. The latter three artists are nominated for best emerging act.
The Avett Brothers, Bettye LaVette, Patty Griffin and Nickel Creek, all of whom are set to receive honorary awards on the show, will also perform. (The fifth recipient of an honorary award this year is George Fontaine Sr., co-founder and owner of New West Records.)
Presenters include CBS News correspondent Anthony Mason, comedian Sarah Silverman and performers Jessi Colter, Lyle Lovett and William Bell.
Buddy Miller will again serve as musical director for the Americana All-Star Band, featuring Brady Blade, Catherine Popper, Fred Eltringham, Jen Gunderman, Jim Hoke, Larry Campbell and The McCrary Sisters.
The 2023 Honors & Awards show will stream live via Circle Network’s YouTube channel and Americana Music Association’s Facebook page Wednesday, Sept. 20, at 7:30 p.m. ET/6:30 CT, while live audio simulcasts of the show will be available via SiriusXM’s Outlaw Country and on Nashville area terrestrial radio stations WRLT (100.1 FM), WSM (650 AM) and WMOT (89.5 FM).
Additionally, the program will be broadcast in the Austin City Limits time slot in November.
