On Saturday afternoon, we returned to The 5 Spot in Nashville for a brand new AMERICANAFEST showcase, Country Connections Live.
The event saw five incredible Australian artists join acts from the UK and Canada in partnership with our friends at British Underground and CIMA.
Austin Mackay, Azure Ryder, The Dreggs, Felicity Dowd and Ian Moss were on the lineup, joined by our host for the day, Henry Wagons.
You can learn more about all the artists who performed on our Americanfest 2026 page.
The event followed four days of activity for the Australians in attendance, including the annual Country Connections networking event, and a visit to Jack White’s iconic Third Man Records studios and The Blue Room venue.
Scroll down to see the artists in action, with photos by Jackson James, as well as a taste of our other activities while in Nashville.
