I like that you have to think about what you are listening to. The musicians in this genre have a lot to say, and they craft their music to tell a story. It\u2019s a songwriter\u2019s audience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked why it resonates so well with him, Fasano says, \u201cWhen you want to hear what people have to say, and how they feel or hear a good story, you go to Americana music. I feel a deep resonance in my soul with not only the music but the artists who create it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have been attending the AmericanaFest for nine years. We started this when I formed a partnership with <em>M Music&amp; Musicians<\/em> magazine and the Americana Music Association to create the Portrait Sessions. Each year, AmericanaFest brings together legendary artists and the next generation of rising stars. For the past seven years, I have had the good fortune of photographing these amazing artists and in 2017, we continued the tradition of The Portrait Sessions. Here\u2019s a sampling of the artists I photographed during AmericanaFest 2017.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/dave-alvin-amerciana-20170905mmag-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18095 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/dave-alvin-amerciana-20170905mmag-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"440\" height=\"660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/dave-alvin-amerciana-20170905mmag-1.jpg 440w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/dave-alvin-amerciana-20170905mmag-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/dave-alvin-amerciana-20170905mmag-1-300x450.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Dave Alvin<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>AmericanaFest 2017<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AmericanaFest 2017 M Music &amp; Musicians magazine Portrait Sessions Photography\u00a0by Jeff Fasano &nbsp; \u201cAmericanaFest is the best music festival,\u201d says Jeff Fasano. \u201cIt\u2019s about words and music.
