More detail is emerging about Grace's appearance at the Americana music festival today. A few days ago I <a href="http://www.thisissomewhere.com/2008/09/11/grace-to-appear-at-the-americana-music-festival-in-nashville/">wrote up what I knew at the time</a>. Now I can add this . . .

<blockquote>3:00 – 4:00 pm, Room 108
LIVE IN CONCERT: TOURING, FESTIVALS AND SUCCESS ON THE ROAD
Moderator: Logan Rogers, Lightning Rod Records

Music festivals have exploded in popularity over the past few years, and Americana artists have exposed large numbers of new fans to their music at events such as Bonnaroo, the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival, and Stagecoach. A group of touring industry professionals will discuss the business of putting on a festival, finding appropriate talent, and the future of the industry. Also, the panel will include a touring artist who will discuss the ins and outs of performing at music festivals.</blockquote>
