Americanaville "Who we are"

Americanaville, the brand, grew from a love of this country and for a love of Livingston, Tennessee, the small town in what is known as the Upper Cumberland area of the state and sets firmly in the Appalachia region of the United States. The town promotes itself as the Home of Live Americana Music.

The concept for Americanaville began in Mark Houser’s Livingston, Tennessee basement on, Thursday, July 25, 2013. Houser began drawing the various ways that Americanaville could have a positive influence on the community and the country. He began to secure the trademark for the name Americanaville on August 5, 2013. In 2015 he wrote a song titled Americanaville and as time passed he recorded the song as the title cut of his 2021 Bluegrass/Americana album of the same name. Tena Rogers, became a believer in and then a partner in the Americanaville brand in 2017 and diligently worked on the album’s release and expanding the brand Americanaville.. 

In March 2021 Americanaville found a home at the Iron & Oak Event Center with dinner provided by The Steel Coop Restaurant in downtown Livingston, owned by Cindy and Steve Cooper. The concept became a reality on May 6, 2021, Americanaville opened for the first show ever at 208 S Church Street, in Livingston, Tennessee with Dave Gibson and Gary Hannan, two renown songwriters with eight number one hits between them. 

The idea of bringing a listening room to the Upper Cumberland Region was somewhat of a gamble because it has never been attempted before this venture. We have created a reputation as a listening room environment giving the public a place to enjoy dinner and a live music show. We are initiating a policy similar to Nashville’s famed Bluebird Cafe where listeners can enjoy the stories behind the songs that are being performed. 

Come see Americanaville in Livingston, Tennessee and celebrate small town America. “It’s who you are, it’s how you feel, Americanaville!”
