AMERICANAFEST to Hold Pre-Grammy Salute to the Songs of John Hiatt


The Americana Music Association and Americana Music Foundation announced its AMERICANAFEST Pre-Grammy Salute for 2025 in celebration of John Hiatt.

“Americana has hosted its annual Pre-Grammy Salute every year since 2013 and this year, in light of the incredible devastation brought to California by the recent fires, our only thought was, ‘How can we help?’,” Jed Hilly, executive director of the Americana Music Association said in a statement. Previous AMERICANAFEST Pre-Grammy salutes have paid tribute to the songs of Paul Simon (2024), Lucinda Williams (2023), Willie Nelson (2020), John Prine (2019), Emmylou Harris (2018), Loretta Lynn (2017), Glenn Frey (2016), Phil Everly (2014), and Emmylou Harris, Rodney Crowell & Friends (2013). Hiatt, 72, is a 10-time Grammy nominee, with nominations spanning country, rock, contemporary folk and Americana/American roots categories.
