Allison Russell, Billy Strings, Brandi Carlile Earns Top Trophies at Americana Music Awards
The following article has been posted on September 18, 2022 at 01:19AM:
An Overlooked Tracks News Finding: Here’s an article you might have overlooked. Having a partnership with NewsAPI, we try to catch music entertainment news for you to view, read and possibly enjoy. We will continue to find what’s available in the world of music entertainment, concert information and music releases. But obviously you – the listener and reader are the biggest source for news in your area, so if you can share with us. For right now, look at what we found for you:
“From The Billboard Magazine Website – Allison Russell, Billy Strings, Brandi Carlile Earns Top Trophies at Americana Music Awards”
Allison Russell, Billy Strings and Brandi Carlile were among those earning top accolades on Wednesday (Sept. 14) as the Americana Honors & Awards ceremony returned to its home at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. Over the course of the evening, nearly a dozen honors were given out, peppered throughout a lineup of performers that showcased the breadth of Americana’s evolving sound.
Ace guitarist Billy Strings earned the evening’s most coveted honor, artist of the year, following the release of his third album, Renewal, in 2021. Strings, however, was not in attendance at the Ryman Wednesday evening, as he was on tour in New England. In his stead, legendary dobro and steel guitar master Jerry Douglas both presented and accepted the honor on Strings’ behalf.
One of the evening’s most orotund, soul-elevating moments was undoubtedly Russell and Carlile teaming for “You’re Not Alone,” supported by a group of ace musicians.
“Our circle is unbroken. Our circle is whole. None above, none below, all of us equal under the listening sky,” Russell said, a joyous summation of the love in the room that evening.

“You’re Not Alone” seemed well-positioned as the theme for the evening, whether spoken about in acceptance speeches and introductions, or expressed musically through the evening’s plethora of collaborations and group performances.
Russell, who earned three nominations heading into the ceremony, received album of the year honors for Outside Child, which was produced by Dan Knobler.
“Over and over again tonight I’ve heard two things: Community, family, union, belonging. Being uplifted, being inspired. I feel so honored to be a part of this community,” Russell said. Russell thanked many members of her team and offered a special moment of gratitude to Carlile, whom she said played a key role in helping Russell ink a label deal with Fantasy Records. “[She] made phone calls and championed this record and championed me and lifted my family and I out of poverty during the pandemic,” Russell added, growing emotional. “That’s what she did and that’s what this family, this chosen family does. I wasn’t lucky with the family I was born to, fostered by, adopted by, but I have been unbelievably lucky because of music.”
Larissa Maestro was named instrumentalist of the year, and thanked others who have previously been nominated and won the honor for breaking down barriers in the category.
“I want to talk about doors opening for a second, because I didn’t think this kind of thing was a possibility for me…I’m 39 years old and I didn’t see people that looked like me in this category for a lot of years and I got to see it last year and they were my friends and it is so exciting.” Maestro said.
JP Harris paid homage to his friend and fellow musician, the late Luke Bell, who was found dead last month after a long battle with mental illness.
“Luke never got the chance to sing this song from this stage himself, like he should have, so I’m going to do my [best] in your stead, little brother,” Harris said, before performing “The Bullfighter.”
Carlile later had a second performance, joining Lucius, Tim and Phil Hanseroth for “You and Me on the Rock,” while song of the year went to Carlile’s “Right on Time,” written by Carlile, Dave Cobb, Phil Hanseroth and Tim Hanseroth.
“What an honor to have this song seen by you guys,” Carlile said, thanking her co-writers. “This song basically says that sometimes, the s—’s just gotta hit the fan,” she said, adding, “There were so many songs of the year in this category and it’s incredible to be alongside y’all.”
Two genre-blurring acts who are currently signed to mainstream country labels made ace showings during the Americana Honors.
The War and Treaty, who signed with Universal Music Group Nashville earlier this year, offered a searing vocal masterclass during their rendition of their latest release, the intimate “That’s How Love Is Made,” drawing the Ryman crowd to its feet. Later in the evening, they were named duo/group of the year, after winning emerging artist of the year in 2019.
“Our road has been long, it’s been hard but it’s been worth it,” said Tanya Trotter, who accepted the honor with her husband and bandmate Michael Trotter, Jr.
Morgan Wade, currently signed to Sony Music Nashville, and an emerging artist of the year nominee who broke through last year with her album Reckless, performed a cooly passionate take on the album track “Run.”

Reposted from @coreysweeter This one is really special to me, folks... A "pinch me" type of project that I owe to the great folks at the @xcelenergyctr. My wife and I love @brandicarlile, a sentiment that grew even stronger during the course of the pandemic as we listened to that iconic powerhouse of a voice front those beautiful harmonies and songs made with the Hanseroth twins over and over again. When we couldn't see live shows or gather with family and friends during the holidays, we'd watch the band's streamed performances and everything felt better with the world again for a couple of hours. Brandi's concert Saturday night at the Xcel Energy Center elicited that feeling times 1000. Just downright fantastic and one of the best shows I've ever been fortunate enough to witness. A sentiment that she and her bandmates seemed to share as they reveled at playing an arena for the first time in the Twin Cities, a market near and dear to their hearts and central to their 20 year plus journey as a band. As a fan, I feel honored that I got the opportunity to channel my gratitude via a poster created just for Brandi, the twins, their band and team. Given that she, Phil and Tim and their respective families all live on a extensive plot of land set in the wilderness of the Pacific Northwest and how she seems to love boating in the ocean, I felt it fitting to create an image of the three of them sharing a peaceful moment together, playing and harmonizing as they so beautifully do, on a similar scene but set within the equivalent wilds of our own great state of Minnesota. I hope that they enjoy it, because I sure loved creating it for them as a small token of thanks from the Xcel Energy Center and fans like myself for whom their music means so much. Long post over. Time to go crank up some Brandi Carlile on the turntable! #brandicarlile #myxec #beyondthesesilentdaystour #gigposter #poster #posterdesign #posterart #graphicdesign #illustration #illustrationartists #screenprint #concertposter #mn #minnesota #stpaul #twincities #mnartist #posterartist (at Xcel Energy Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgvK_v9Os8d/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In honor of Brandi Carlile's six night residency at The Ryman auditorium, we created this painting based on a photo posted to Instagram by Brandi herself.
Of all the photos we've seen of this historical event, this one seemed to tell the story the best. Brandi and the twins have been onna very genuine, candid and transparent journey. They have lead their fans right to the mother church, The Ryman.
Creating a still piece of art that captures the moment to it's fullest would be impossible. But if we could only show a fraction of it's power, it would have to show two things:
1. Show the three of them standing side by side. Brandi Carlile is a band not just a person. Phil and Tim have been by Brandi's side for 20 years and their collaborations have always been credited equally.
2. View looking out from the stage. Brandi may have practiced signing autographs before anyone outside of her family even knew her name, but the music has never been just about her and yet it's genuinely her. This point is something that probably only grassroot fans will understand.

Brandi Carlile’s Big Show Filled with Big Heart on the Big Stage at MSG
Brandi Carlile – Madison Square Garden – September 14, 2019
Madison Square Garden is one of the biggest stages in the world and it often takes an artist with a big rocking sound, a big, wild personality or a big, over-the-top production to fill it. On Saturday night Brandi Carlile proved that you can also fill that room with a big heart, showering love on a bowled-over sold-out audience over a remarkable, career-crowning two-hour set and receiving that love back from the crowd 20,000 times over. On a night filled with such emotion and heart, Carlile couldn’t have asked for a better warm-up than the legendary Mavis Staples, who got the night rolling with a tight opening set of soulful covers and her uplifting rhythm and blues.
Carlile took to the stage, in a tuxedo with sparkly black pants and a big bow tie, to rocking fanfare from her band, a literal church bell somewhat appropriately clanging out her arrival and bringing everyone in the house to their feet. Hopping up and down, she started things with “Hold Out Your Hand,” off last year’s By the Way, I Forgive You. Carlile didn’t hide her excitement at all, screaming, “I am home!” before “Wherever Is Your Heart,” her band equally as enthused, longtime bandmates Phil and Tim Hanseroth bouncing around the stage. The audience clapping along to “Hard Way Home” felt like a collective heartbeat as Carlile sang about “all the times I should have turned back.”
Three songs in, it could have been any old Brandi Carlile show, albeit a very big one. At that point, she let everyone know that it was “impossible to describe what it feels like right now,” and, as the audience responded with a loving roar, tears rolled down her face—tears she didn’t try to hold back, tears that would fuel the rest of the set. Before long, Staples returned to the stage to duet on her father’s “Friendship,” which was followed by the big surprise of the night, a three-song set by Carlile’s country supergroup, the Highwomen, as Amanda Shires and Natalie Hemby joined her onstage. Staples stayed out for “Highwomen,” singing a powerful verse that began with “I was a freedom rider” and ended with “But I am still around,” giving at least one person in the room some serious chills. The second half of the show was a career-spanning outpouring of love, gratitude, country, folk and rock and roll. From the three-part harmonies with the Hanseroths on “The Eye” to the touching tribute to her daughter on “The Mother,” and from a sparse take on her beloved Joni Mitchell with “A Case of You” to leading her Garden-worthy band through a rocked-out cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Babe, I’m Gonna Leave You,” Carlile filled that big room with a big sound, a big personality and the biggest heart. —A.
