Amelia Island, FL — October 1, 2025 — The Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival (The Festival) is thrilled to announce an extraordinary addition to its 25th Anniversary Season: Emmylou Harris and Friends on Saturday, March 28, 2026, at 5:00 PM in the newly renovated Amelia Ballroom at the Omni Amelia Island Resort & Spa. Tickets are $75 and are available now at aicmf.org/event/emmylouharris.

A 14-time GRAMMY Award winner, Billboard Century Award recipient, and member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, Emmylou Harris is one of the most admired and influential voices in American music. With more than 25 albums and collaborations spanning artists from Bob Dylan to Dolly Parton, Neil Young to Johnny Cash, Harris has defined artistry, storytelling, and authenticity for over four decades. In 2018, she was honored with the GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award.

On this special evening, Harris will be joined by acclaimed Irish singer Maura O’Connell and Tammy Rogers King, founding member of the GRAMMY-winning bluegrass group the SteelDrivers and co-founder of the Fernandina Beach Songwriters Festival. Together, the trio will create an unforgettable night of song, harmony, and heart. Proceeds from this concert will benefit the Nassau Humane Society, reflecting Harris’s lifelong commitment to animal welfare.

Concertgoers will enjoy free self-parking in the hotel’s garage and surface lot, with ADA-accessible options available. Guests can also take advantage of an exclusive Festival-only hotel rate at the Omni Amelia Island Resort, making it easy to pair this performance with a luxurious island getaway.

“This addition is a true gift to our community and our Festival family,” said Robyn Lamp, Executive Director. “To welcome Emmylou Harris, an absolute icon and legend, as part of our 25th Anniversary celebration is nothing short of remarkable.”

William Ransom, Artistic Director, added: “The Festival has always offered our community the chance to experience artists who fall outside the traditional definition of chamber music. Emmylou Harris and Friends embody the small-ensemble collaboration, artistry, storytelling, and authenticity that connect so deeply with audiences. These values that are truly at the heart of chamber music.”
