Our new playlist of the best new Americana we’ve heard over the last month is out later today exclusively for AUK supporters which includes new tracks by Chuck Prophet, Laura Marling, Paul Kelly, Clem Snide and Christy Moore among others – basically we trawl through the best Americana we’ve heard recently so you don’t have to.
Our giveaway this month for supporters is a pair of tickets to the AMAUK showcase which gives you unlimited access to all showcase events taking place before the upcoming AMAUK awards from Tue 21st-Wed 22nd January across 5 stages in Hackney, featuring music from 50+ artists. The highly anticipated UK Americana Music Week (powered apparently by Sweet Home Alabama), is set to return to Hackney, London from Monday, January 20th, promising an unforgettable celebration of international and homegrown Americana music.
Two nights of showcases in venues across Hackney will take place featuring a line-up of artists from around the world including Altameda, Annie Dressner, Beth Bombara, Celeigh Cardinal, Chloe Foy, Ferris & Sylvester, Julian Taylor, The East Pointers, Willie Watson, and many more. During the daytime on Tuesday 21 and Wednesday 22, the annual AMA-UK conference, the cornerstone of the week’s programming, will be held at Night Tales in Hackney. Next year’s theme is “Can Songs Change the World? Americana in 2025,” covering a diverse range of topics tailored for Americana enthusiasts and industry professionals alike.
The week’s events will culminate in the UK Americana Music Awards hosted at Hackney Church on Thursday 23rd January, where standout achievements in Americana music from the past year will be celebrated. You can get your tickets from this link.
You can become an AUK supporter for as little as £2 a month for which princely sum you will receive a monthly exclusive supporters playlist along with being entered into our monthly prize draw. Thanks for your support.
