Americana Music Festival & Conference  
Contributes $10 Million to Nashville Economy
$5.1 Million in Direct Economic Impact
 
The Americana Festival and Conference was featured in today’s Tennessean for its significant contribution to Nashville’s economy.
 
“The annual Americana Music Conference and Festival quietly has become a major contributor to the local economy, bringing in more than $5.1 million in direct economic impact last year, thanks to growing concert attendance and steadily rising membership in the association."
 
"And, the marketing of this year's festival – the 15th annual – will be amplified by an August ‘Americanafest NYC’ to be held in New York at Lincoln Center, which will feature concerts and panel workshops.” (The Tennessean)
