John Hiatt, Nanci Griffith, and Rodney Crowell will lead the lineup for a concert at the Smoky Mountain resort Blackberry Farm to benefit the Americana Music Association. The concert weekend is set for March 25-27.

“Hearing internationally respected poet-troubadours in such a gorgeous setting will really be a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” said Jed Hilly, Executive Director of the Americana Music Association. “We are thrilled to partner with Blackberry Farm and grateful for the support of these amazing artists.”

“We are so excited to share these incredible talents with our guests,” says Sam Beall, proprietor of Blackberry Farm, “with a limited number of spots available, guests will have some of the most intimate experiences ever to see these amazing artists up close and personal, and all in the name of helping to preserve and promote one of America’s greatest cultural voices…the Americana Music Association.”

Blackberry Farm is located in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee. This 62-room Relais and Chateaux and Grand Chef property offers fine wines, cuisine, outdoor activities, an Aveda-Destination Spa and a series of annual cooking schools and more.
