Americana Music Association’s Harriette Dew Dies
Harriette Dew
Harriette Dew, the Americana Music Association’s accounting manager, passed away suddenly on Sunday, Aug. 16, after a battle with cancer.
Dew, a passionate music fan, was drawn to the Americana community back in 2013. She volunteered for several years before being hired for a staff position in 2017. Dew was the mother of AMA festival producer and marketing director Sarah Comardelle and her brother Alex Dew, who volunteers every year and helps build the AMERICANAFEST app.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Nashville Children’s Theatre or the Americana Music Association Foundation (AMAF).
