Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin) will be receiving the lifetime achievement award during this year’s Americana Honors & Awards. That event will take place at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN on September 16. Jed Hilly, executive director of the Americana Music Association, commented:
“Robert Plant’s relationship with Americana music extends far beyond influence — it is one of genuine passion, stewardship and artistic curiosity. His willingness to immerse himself in the traditions of blues, folk, country and gospel, while continuing to push their boundaries, has expanded the audience for Americana around the world. Few artists have done more to honor the music’s past while helping shape its future. We are thrilled to recognize his extraordinary contributions with the Americana Music Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award.”
