AMERICANAFEST 2026 at 3rd and Lindsley

AMERICANAFEST brings a full evening of Americana and gospel to Nashville's 3rd and Lindsley, with five acts taking the stage in sequence. The McCrary Sisters, a Nashville gospel group formed by the daughters of Fairfield Four founding member Rev. Samuel McCrary, open the night with their blend of traditional and modern gospel, drawing on Americana, blues, rock, and R&B. Jim Lauderdale, a two-time Grammy winner and recipient of the Americana Music Association's Wagonmaster Award, follows with his country-rooted songwriting.

Courtney Marie Andrews, whose album Valentine explores love's complexities, and Drayton Farley continue the lineup, with Nick Shoulders closing out the night. The venue, located at 818 3rd Ave. S., is an intimate setting that puts attendees close to the performers. With a mix of established voices and rising talents, this Americanafest showcase offers a snapshot of contemporary Americana in one of the genre's home cities.
