AmericanaFest 9

“When you turn on The Folk Sessions what you’ll hear is music with its roots in the stuff of real life”

In the cool of the Pines and under the stars in the Highlands Center's outdoor Amphitheater is the site for the 9th annual AmericanaFest. On the evening of Friday, July 9, some of Arizona’s finest artists, including the Robby Roberson Trio with Ed Garnero and Arlienne Scofield, “South-Western Americana" tales of Nancy Elliott and the Valley's Hambone, with Odie Picker, Bea Graves and Eric Douglas. Tom Agostino and the Folk Sessions Revue will open the show. Seating is limited, and tickets are available at https://fslamerifest9.eventbrite.com

"Not that she didn't do so before now but, since going solo, Arizona's Nancy Elliott has produced some especially interesting music." Best of the West

Nancy Elliott’s “South-Western Americana” sound is as original as She is. As author Rod Miller wrote “…music that is undeniably Western, but with added spice that enriches the sound in unexpected and alluring ways. It's a good sound. And the songs are darn good, too."

The Robby Roberson Trio performs music, carried by diverse instrumentation and vocal backgrounds in an alternative roots style. The Trio is made up of Robby singing lead vocals and playing guitars, mandolin, banjo, dobro, Wessenborn-style lap steel, and harmonicas; Arlienne Scofield singing supportive vocals and playing light percussion; and Eddie Garnero playing electric fretted, fretless, and upright basses and singing supportive vocals.
