Just stumbled onto The Hackensaw Boys !! Are they still together . This would be a fine addition to TBF .
Great recommendation for The Black Lillies! They are now making this Monday morning move a little faster–thanks to this great thread.
The Whiskey Gentry, an up-and-coming Atlanta bluegrass band, are one of my favorites. They have played a lot in the southeast festival circuit, and it’d be pretty amazing to see them play somewhere in Telluride. Check them out:
Yes, they are still together. Here is a link to their 2003 TBF performance:
- Planet Bluegrass should “settle this issue” and get Hot Tuna for TBF 2014
- I also reiterate Telluride Tom’s nomination to get Asleep At The Wheel
These two “new” acts at TBF 2014 would complement any two “NEW” acts.
Truly incendiary no doubt about that, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he could blow the fire out with his horn. I bet he can play Orange Blossom Special too. :pirate
I strongly 2nd that emotion, especially if he brings along the band he had playing with him, when we saw the two shows at Broomfield, when he was opening for Dylan, last fall.
They had a most definite Celtic vibe going and were actually raging both nights, even though similar sets.
Not sure these guys are quite ready for Main stage action, but they do look like they might fit in festivarian-wise!
Sorry, I know these aren’t new acts. I know they’ve played Telluride before, but I’d love to see Michael Cleveland and Flamekeeper back. I hope the Infamous Stringdusters become a yearly staple.
She’s pretty hot on the scene. Man, Mr. Ed, I wanted to really like her set at Strawberry but it just didn’t happen for me personally. I like her music but don’t know why it didn’t translate at the Strawberry festival earlier this year.
Of course, I’m a move your feet type of person and maybe it’s not meant for me at a fest. A lot of my friends dig her!
Well, if the archives are reviewed, one will see that this time last year, I’d posted that it’d be awesome to have Steve Martin at the 40th… and … through a sequence of unpredictable and unforeseen events; it came to pass. So, I’ll throw this out there … It’d be great to see Bonepony make another appearance at next years TBF (I think they were there a long time ago, so not “New” by definition of the word, but, would be new to me since I’ve only been going for the last 8 years).
Lets see how the cards play out, Planet Bluegrass. Regardless, I’m sure the selections will continue to be stellar.

Trippy video- cool song! Thanks!
And of course they just played in my town a few weeks ago and I blew it by not seeing/knowing about them…but now I do :thumbsup
no prob
check out their youtube channel for lots of other vids as well
GIPSY MOON!!! They sold out both Wednesday and Sunday nights this year at Fly me to the Moon, competing with the kick off show and Punch Bros, Vince Herman’s 2 sons are in the band - what better way to begin passing the torch!! Okay, maybe not the main stage, yet, but at least a nightgrass show next year!!! Check them out!!!
And their gondola sessions…

enjoy!!! :thumbsup
Came into post Black Lillies - was actually fluffing them in the thread for last years fest as they played a show in Lyons.
Anyone going to be at the upcoming FOCO or Denver shows - both week night shows but I don’t miss them when they come through town.
I think Justin Townes Earle would be a solid addition.
I agree with Justin Townes Earl. That man writes some fantastic songs.
Anyone remember Robert Plant mentioning that John Paul Jones has wanted to play for years? Why not make that happen. He’s already friends with a lot of bluegrass musicians. Have him put together a band and show up for the event!

I won’t rest until Pokey LaFarge plays TBF. :thumbsup The new sextet configuration really works and they are a perfect fit.
I’ll 2nd Grant Gordy in any of his incarnations and configurations, especially if it’s with Jake Schepps Expedition Quartet.
You know who could be fun? Joan Baez!
