Gillian Welsh.
Help I just found her and I am transfixed.
"It’s Beef stake when I’m workin’ and whiskey when I’m dry and sweet heaven when I die. " The Harrow and the Harvest has taken me over willingly. The lyrics float through my head at work, play, and then some. PB help make it stop and let me see her in person!
I’d be extremely happy if Gillian was at this TBF…definitely one of my all-time favorites!! Her music gets under my skin & the next thing I know I will have listened to one of her CDs 3 or 4x in a row!
Not sure if myself or anyone else has put this artist but: Pokey Lafarge and the South City Three! Super super voice, and an overall great band and it brings back the ragtime blues style. Yow!
I have a question about Dailey & Vincent. These guys are pretty much kings in the bluegrass world and I saw them at a close fest here in NC recently. Do they just not want to play the more “hippy” fests? Show I saw was on par with some of the best bluegrass I’ve seen by anyone ever.
Are you guys fans? I mean they’ve won 13 IBMA awards, several for best performers of the year, they have grammies, they are a power band, so why not Telluride? Seems like a real glaring omission for them to have never been here. WHY?
The Punch Brothers - Looks like 2014 will be busy for them with the whole Inside Llewyn Davis soundtrack… how sweet would it be to get a whole crew from that production at Telluride? Plenty of them have been there before, Gillian, the Chocolate Drops etc
I’ve been following this group for several years now. Their new release Runaway Freeway Blues is one you should check out. Live shows are where you should see them. They bring it!! Della Mae fiddler Kimber Ludiker often makes appearances with them. An Appalachian melt of roots, blues, country and rock that will not disappoint Telluride fans.
