Brandi Carlile, Tanya Tucker, The Highwomen, Brittany Howard Lead Americana Honors & Awards Nominations

June 15, 2020/by Jessica Nicholson


Brandi Carlile, The Highwomen, Tanya Tucker and Brittany Howard are among the leading nominees at the upcoming 19th annual Americana Honors & Awards, set for Wednesday, Sept. 16 at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium.

Carlile leads this year’s nominations with five, including a solo nomination for Artist of the Year, as well as four others for her work as a producer and writer on Tanya Tucker’s While I’m Livin’ album, and for her work as part of the group The Highwomen.

Tucker is nominated for Album of the Year (While I’m Livin’), Artist of the Year, and Song of the Year (“Bring My Flowers Now”).

The Highwomen are nominated for Album of the Year, for their self-titled project, produced by Dave Cobb. They are also up for Duo/Group of the Year, as well as Song of the Year (“Crowded Table”).
Howard is nominated for Artist of the Year, as well as Album of the Year for both artist and producer for her project Jaime. Her song “Stay High” is also nominated for Song of the Year.

The late songwriting legend John Prine earns a nomination in the Artist of the Year category, while newcomers Black Pumas earned two nominations for Duo/Group and Emerging Act of the Year. Aubrie Sellers earns two nominations, for Emerging Act of the Year and Song of the Year, for “My Love Will Not Change.” Nathaniel Rateliff earns two nominations, for Album of the Year (And It’s Still Alright), as well as Song of the Year for the album’s title track. Drive-By Truckers also earn two nods, for Duo/Group of the Year, as well as Song of the Year (“Thoughts and Prayers”).
This year’s awards expand the number of nominees in each category from four to five nominees, with the exception of Song of the Year, which totals six nominees this year due to nomination tie.

The awards ceremony typically serves as the highlight of AmericanaFest week. This year, due to COVID-19, in lieu of hosting the annual conference, the Americana Music Association Foundation will launch its first initiative, with details to be revealed in the coming days. Next year’s AmericanaFest dates have been set for Sept. 21-26, 2021.
