Tyler Childers and Sierra Ferrell leads nominations at 2024 Americana Honors & Awards The Appalachia-bred musicians each scored three nominations — including album, Song and Artist of the Year — when the categories were announced Tuesday at the National Museum of African American Music in Nashville.
Childers, a Kentucky native, is nominated for his album Rustin' in the Rain and the song “In Your Love,” while West Virginia native Ferrell is credited for the album Path of Flowers and the song “American Dreaming”.
Other nominees for Artist of the Year include Charley Crockett, Noah Kahan and Allison Russell. Brandy Clark's self-titled album, Hooray for the Riff Raff's The past is still aliveand Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit's Weathervanes round out the album of the Year field.
The Emerging Act of the Year category is always interesting to watch, and this year's nominees lean hard into Red Dirt's revival and emo-country trend: Kaitlin Butts, Wyatt Flores, Charles Wesley Godwin, the Red Clay Strays, and Jobi Riccio are all nominated.
The winners of the 2024 Americana Honors & Awards will be announced during a ceremony at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on September 18. Honors is the centerpiece of AmericanaFest, the annual gathering of roots-music artists and scholars in Music City, taking place September 17 to 21.
