Brandi Carlile, John Prine, Tanya Tucker, Yola and more are among the nominees for the 2020 Americana Honors & Awards. The Americana Music Association revealed this year's full list of nominees on Monday (June 15).

There are six Americana Honors & Awards categories, each of which has been expanded this year to five nominees, "to further highlight the wide breadth of exemplary talent in the Americana music community," according to a press release from the Americana Music Association. (Song of the Year contains six nominees due to a tie in nominations.) A full list of 2020 nominees is below.

The 2020 Americana Honors & Awards are set for Sept. 16, at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium. Organizers of the annual event are monitoring COVID-19-related guidelines about social distancing and mass gatherings to inform plans for the evening, so details about tickets for the show, performances during the show and additional parts of the festivities have yet to be announced.

The Americana Honors & Awards usually take place during the annual AmericanaFest, a week-long conference and music festival in Nashville. This year, due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, AmericanaFest has been canceled and replaced with a digital event, the details of which are to be announced on Thursday (June 18).
