What if they held an awards show, and a concert broke out?
It would be an interesting affair, particularly if the concert in question came from Robert Plant and his Band of Joy at the Ryman Auditorium, and if it came at the end of an Americana Honors & Awards show that had already featured performances from John Mellencamp, Emmylou Harris, Rodney Crowell, Rosanne Cash and others whose roots-based music has landed them in the expansive genre known as Americana.
