Excited to announce that Hailey Lange Co. has joined BlackAmericana Fest 2026 as Strategic Campaign Partner.
BlackAmericana Fest is a Black roots music and cultural nonprofit festival in New Orleans — celebrating the Americana, folk, and country traditions rooted in Black history that don't always get the recognition they deserve. This year's theme, Still We Sing: Black Protest Traditions in Americana, is one of the most culturally urgent and beautifully crafted festival concepts I've encountered.
My work with the team spans the full campaign arc: marketing strategy, paid advertising, influencer and artist amplification, content ecosystem development, and the systems that turn a great grassroots event into a scalable, nationally recognized institution.
The foundation is strong — a deeply loyal community, extraordinary artist satisfaction, and an audience that leaves more connected to Black musical history than when they arrived. We're building on it.
2026 Headliners:
Tray Wellington · The Kentucky Gentlemen · Seratones · Joy Clark
September 25–26 · The Broadside · New Orleans
