Just announced: the 2026 Americana Honors & Awards nominees - and we've got six MAX artist partners up for honors this year!

This is a niche awards program with only five categories, but we have at least one artist partner nominated in each category, which is amazing.

I personally love Americana music, so these awards are extra special for me. All of our artist partners who are nominated this year are in heavy rotation in my playlists and I am so excited for all of them!

Check out the nominees below and see the full list of nominees here.
