Wow. What a week it's been in Nashville last week. Welcome to Rolling Stone's Nashville now podcast.

I'm your host, Joseph Hudak, senior music editor at Rolling Stone. Country is here. Nashville is now.

Yeah, it was a busy week.

Last week in Nashville, Tennessee, was the Americana Music Festival.

We had a wealth of artists in town playing that good country folk, rock, R&B at venues all around nashville it is uh it's kind of like a

mini south by southwest and uh i encourage all of you to come visit next september and be here to see

those shows because there's some really cool shit that happens there's too much to go through but

you know there was like a Wayland Jennings

listening party. There's a new Waylon Jennings album coming out. What else do we do? We saw we do. We saw John Fogarty was cool. Dylan Warnick, dear friend of the Nashville now Pod. It was fun. It was a lot of fun. Ended up at Dukes for their classic shot in a beer special one night and a great Duke sandwich.

You come to East Nashville,

you come to Nashville,

you come to Nashville,

you got... up at Dukes for their classic shot in a beer special one night and a great Duke sandwich.

You come to East Nashville, you come to Nashville, you got to go to Dukes, get the hot,

Italian, large.

Trust me on this.

Bumped into some friends there, Jeremy Ivy, talking about Americana Fest.

He's the singer-songwriter and the husband, of course, Margo Price.

We had a good time, man. It was great. And then we're sitting there at the bar,

drinking my beer, eating my regular, my hot Italian. And I look at my phone and I see a video

of Zach Bryan scaling a chain link fence.
