We’re getting so excited for our upcoming Americanafest showcase, Live from Historic Eastland on September 13, 2022! Let’s do some reminiscing on last year’s showcase.
We held the event at Historic Eastland in East Nashville, transforming the sanctuary into an intimate lamplit stage for our performers. The showcase was sponsored by Tone Tree Music, and our host was Mr. Steve, who kept the show moving along with some excellent Americanafest-themed jokes. Madeleine Kelson was the first performer; since then, she signed with Olivia Records and released an amazing record called While I Was Away. Our second act was the one and only Peter Groenwald, who shared some upcoming music on piano and guitar.
Ruthie Collins graced the stage next, performing some of the songs from her album Cold Comfort. Derek Webb played a few powerful songs, and then Jill Andrews played music from her EP Ellen, which was released shortly after that.
Smooth Hound Smith gave a lovely performance of some of their best songs, including “Truck Stop Shower.” We closed out the night with the music of Hush Kids, made up of Peter Groenwald and Jill Andrews. Listen to part of that performance in the clip below!
This year’s showcase is going to be an absolute blast. RSVP here and come join us for free! Americanafest badge not needed.
