Discover the nation's musical roots on the Americana Music Triangle in Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
Country and rock ’n’ roll. Blues and jazz. Soul and gospel, too. They are the soundtrack of our nation, music invented and perfected right here in the United States, more specifically in the South. From Nashville, Tennessee, to Memphis, down toward New Orleans and back up to Nashville, lies what’s become known as the Americana Music Triangle. Nine distinct musical styles—you can add bluegrass, Southern gospel, and Cajun/zydeco to the list—continue to flourish today in the very places where musicians first played the notes that would become our musical heritage.
So grab a map, stock up on snacks, and head out on the road.
