Great, job Jed Hilly and all the folks that support this music! If you haven't joined or become part of the Association, you should. The more voices that sing out in support of Americana Music the faster it will grow.

And thanks to Sarah for the article! Yes, Americana is a coveted genre throughout all 50 states. It represents our roots and traditions. In the Northwest, we've found that many people really cling to roots music over and above other more contemporary genres. Americana roots represent not only who we are, but really how we live in a mostly rural northwestern landscape. We simply need more outlets here so people can enjoy LIVE performances in more locations throughout the western states. We salute you Jed for all the hard work, and the really wonderful and nice people at AMA. Janet Hansen Scout66.com Congrats to Jed in this musical milestone. And thanks to Sarah for the article!
