Our Andy has been part of the Americana Music Association UK Music Week this week with his Alabama colleagues. They kicked things off with an exclusive preview of the incredible documentary that they filmed in Alabama last year.

It was then a week full of insightful panel discussions and meetings focused on sharing Alabama’s rich stories with the UK. To top it all off, they wrapped up with the UK Americana Music Awards sponsored by Sweet Home Alabama, with some truly deserving award winners and unforgettable performances, including a show-stopping finale to close out the show by Alabama’s own Candi Staton.

What a week!
