High Five Entertainment, Executive Producer Martin Fischer, Executive Producer and Americana Music Association Executive Director Jed Hilly, and producers Michelle Aquilato and Edie Lynn Hoback recently won an Emmy® in the Entertainment category for their production of the 2014 Americana Honors & Awards at the 30th MidSouth Emmy® Awards. This marks their second Emmy award.

The Americana Honors & Awards program is the marquee event of the Americana Festival & Conference, which is put on by the Americana Music Association, a professional not-for-profit trade organization whose mission is to advocate for the authentic voice of American roots music around the world. Held at the Ryman Auditorium, there were 23 musical performances during the Americana Honors & Awards, which included Jackson Browne, Loretta Lynn, Jason Isbell, Taj Mahal, and rock royalty Robert Plant. Ten awards were handed out.
