Nominations for the show were announced earlier this year in May with Carlile, Russell and Yola leading the pack with three noms each, while Adia Victoria and Robert Plant and Alison Krauss are each nominated for two.

With such a star-studded lineup, the forthcoming Americana Awards should be a sight to behold. From Carlile and Russell to Yola and Isaak, the slate is jam-packed with standout stars.
