Americana Portrait Sessions is the first photography book to take a
comprehensive view of contemporary Americana music. The collection
features intimate portraits that reveal the strength, heart, and soul of
nearly two hundred great artists from the big tent that is Americana
music, all shot through the expert lens of Jeff Fasano.
Fasano's unparalleled access to Americana artists like Sheryl Crow,
Rhiannon Giddens, Vince Gill, Keb' Mo', Judy Collins, John Oates, The
Avett Brothers, The McCrary Sisters, Lucinda Williams, Margo Price,
Blind Boys of Alabama, and Kris Kristofferson gives Americana Portrait
Sessions the kind of authority that comes from true reach into the
breadth of the genre. But this collection is as important for the
artists few fans know as for the ones with successful careers behind
them. While the book champions the diversity of race, gender, sexuality,
and age inherent in Americana music, it also spans career arcs to bring
lesser-known acts into the spotlight.
Americana Portrait Sessions brings you backstage to the greenrooms and
quiet corners where artists like The War and Treaty, Jewel, Jason
Isbell, and The Wooten Brothers aren't just artists performing, but
people hanging out.
