Robert Plant will receive the Americana Music Association's Lifetime Achievement Award at the 25th Annual Americana Honors & Awards at Nashville's historic Ryman Auditorium on September 16. "Robert Plant's relationship with Americana music extends far beyond influence—it is one of genuine passion, stewardship and artistic curiosity," the Association's Executive Director Jed Hilly said. "His willingness to immerse himself in the traditions of blues, folk, country and gospel, while continuing to push their boundaries, has expanded the audience for Americana around the world. Few artists have done more to honor the music's past while helping shape its future. We are thrilled to recognize his extraordinary contributions with the Americana Music Association's Lifetime Achievement Award."
