WMOT is proud to reveal the lineup for this year’s Americanafest Day Stage, coming up Sept. 16-18 during the world-famous annual gathering of the Americana community. In keeping with a nine-year tradition of growing the series distribution, WMOT Roots Radio is partners on the Day Stage with NPR Music, World Cafe, and Nashville PBS.
That collaboration will lead to the widest coverage ever for the nine-year old Day Stage. Each day's music, from noon to five pm, will stream live on NPR Music’s YouTube channel and broadcast live on Nashville PBS’s main channel. Each night, the sets will air again on its second channel, WNPT2. Anchoring the show will be WMOT’s crack audio/video production team working with MTSU student techs and the MTSU Mobile Production Truck. WMOT is grateful for sponsorship support from Blue Note Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
The event moves this year back to the main room at Eastside Bowl in Madison, TN, with its extensive free parking and a mix of standing and seated options. It is open to WMOT members and Americanafest wristband holders. There’s still time to become a member HERE and receive an invitation.
