Nashville’s Margo Price will join Australia’s Diesel to perform at the event celebrating Americana music in Australia.

Also performing are Joshua Hedley, Little Georgia, Shane Howard, Kevin Welch, Weeping Willows and Kasey Chambers with Alan Pigram.

“We have rounded up a fantastic group of artists to celebrate Americana and Roots music in Australia in 2018. It’s an incredibly exciting genre, and based on the buzz after last year’s event, we’ll be doing this for many years to come”, said event co-producer Michael Chugg.

The Australian Americana Music Honours will be hosted by RRR’s Denise Hylands and Americana Music Association’s Jed Hilly.

“It’s a thrill to be a part of the second Annual Australian Americana Honours event”, said Jed Hilly, Executive Director of the Americana Music Association and Executive Producer of the Critically Acclaimed Americana Honors & Awards program in Nashville. “Last year’s event connected the community not just in Australia but around the globe, with a spirit that was and continues to be contagious. I can’t wait to get back to Melbourne.”
