Will one of those acts pick up the award for the Best Selling UK Americana Album of 2019? The trophy will be presented by Official Charts at the event.
In the International categories, the likes of Lukas Nelson & Promise of The Real, Mavis Staples, and Highwomen are recognised. Joan Armatrading is the recipient of 2020's Lifetime Achievement Award, while Lonnie Donegan will be honoured with the Legend Award.
Part of UK AmericanaFest 2020, the awards ceremony will be accompanied by two nights of fringe performances on January 28-29, putting the spotlight on 75 artists from the UK, North America, Australia and Europe across seven venues. Acts taking to the stage include Top 40 entrants The Secret Sisters and former coach on The Voice of Holland Ilse DeLange, chart-topping soloist and member of The Common Linnets, the group who in 2014 were the last Eurovision act to date to claim a UK Top 10 single.
