Fulfilling our mission
Presenting these special livestreams is the first of many initiatives to come in our new partnership with NYU's Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. Together, we aim to further expand the education of Americana music and share its impact on culture. To that end, we're working on creating an Americana NYU scholarship program, hosting an annual NYU Steinhardt-Americana Music Association Artist-In-Residence and providing input on the development of future courses at the university.
Stay tuned for more updates!
