I just posted the start of the 2008 Folks Fest lineup to our website:
http://www.bluegrass.com/folks/lineup.html
Greg Brown * The Waifs * Tim O’Brien * Todd Snider * Sarah Sample * And many more...
We’ll have lots, lots, lots more to add to Folks in the coming weeks and months.
There is an update…albeit a short one.
Many more to come…stay tuned.
:thumbsup
I love the Great Lake Swimmers. Every time I’ve seen them they manage to carve a warm summery space out of whatever chaos is going on around them. It’s almost literally transporting.
Mojo magazine calls them “zen Americana” - which seems about right. There’s just something about Tony Dekker’s voice and the minimalist vibe of the band. Every time I play them on the radio I get stunned calls from people wondering who’s making this gorgeously atmospheric music.
Here’s a youtube video from their last album:

I personally can’t wait for this set…
So far, a nice start, Brian.
Also…Amos Lee has been added. :flower

used to be a school teacher . . . cooooool :flower
Alright that did it…I just bought a ticket to my first Folks Fest!

We just made 2 really fantastic Folks lineup additions…
KT Tunstall
&

Oh crap! That tears it. I simply have to find a way to move to Colorado so I can make more than one trip for great music. I’ve been wanting to see Patty live for several years now.
It’s hard to know when we’ll have single-day lineups. But I’d guess we’re at least a month away…
What, no love for KT Tunstall yet? 
Here’s a cool version of her doing the loop thing on one of my favorite guilty pleasure songs:
KT Tunstall - “I Want You Back”
A good one to help get the Friday afternoon boogie goin’… :cheers
KT Tunstall is a wonderful addition!! She is incredible live. I love her sassy attitude and her accent. :thumbsup
Keep the great acts coming!
KT is great. will she be playing solo or is she bringing her band?
Jumping in on thsi thread despite not attending this but the TBF some weeks earlier. K T Tunstall is a fantastic addition to any festival as you will see. I have been lucky enough to secure her at a small intimate venue back in the Isle of Man and actually have to break away from the TBF to get back in time to run the show! Rock n roll. You wont be disappointed though I am to also miss Amos Lee and Johs Ritter! Fab.It surely incites living in CO all year round?
Triskel’s Website Isle of Man!
PEOPLE!
I have to say it… DON’T MISS TODD!!!
I wish I was going, the lineup looks great, and Todd Snider puts on an amazing live show!!!
Also would love to see KT, she just cancelled a show in Flagstaff.
Nice Lineup Planet Bluegrass!
So, the journey from the UK will hopefully be worth it! I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the weather holds out too - as someone who survived the Glastonbury mud of the late 1990s, I’m hoping for sunnier weather.
Is Priscilla Ahn at this years festival? It is listed on her web site. If she is it is great news. Just saw her show in Philadelphia last night and she was great! :cheers :cheers
Man, I love Amos Lee…and would kille to play on stage with him
