Americana is a musical style that is hard to pin down.
A broad umbrella term, it can encompass folk, gospel, blues, country, jazz, bluegrass... even rhythm and blues and a bit of rock 'n' roll.
Today Ian Chapman presents three Kiwi acts who specialise in Americana: Dr John Egenes (aka his performative alter-ego Gunter Flutney), Matt Joe Gow and Kerryn Fields.
Ian Chapman is a Senior Lecturer in Contemporary Music at Otago University.
