Sierra Ferrell Wins Artist, Album of the Year at Americana Awards; Brandy Clark, Grace Bowers Also Get Top Honors
Sierra Ferrell won two top awards at the 2024 Americana Honors & Awards. Other trophies went to Brandy Clark, Grace Bowers and the Red Clay Strays.
Artist of the year had been a particularly strong field for 2024, with Ferrell facing Allison Russell, Tyler Childers, Charley Crockett and one of the biggest stars in any genre at the moment, Noah Kahan. Ferrell’s album of the year win came for “Trail of Flowers,” which is only her second release on a (relatively) major label, Rounder, but which has found the country-folk-bluegrass performer headlining larger venues as well as remaining a festival favorite. Other performers included Charles Wesley Godwin, Fantastic Negrito, Hurray for the Riff Raff, Jobi Riccio, Kaitlin Butts, the Milk Carton Kids, Noah Kahan, Sarah Jarosz, Turnpike Troubadours, the War and Treaty, Waxahatchee with MJ Lenderman, Wyatt Flores, and the duo of Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell.
