I think it’s time John Paul Jones got his own set. He’s been lurking around, sitting in, and is currently part of the Rawlings Machine. JPJ and Friends would be a very memorable TBF set and would recognize his long standing contributions to popular music.
Plus he wrote “The Rain Song”

seeing 2015 would be my first year here…
ummmm YES to any haynes/dead related music
greensky bluegrass, who i am seeing next month in denver for the first time, is who i am really hoping for…i wonder what the chances are that they won’t be there? ie) are they a for sure?
others would include:
los lobos, bela fleck, hornsby, ricky skaggs, johnny clegg, franti, jason isbell, dumpstaphunk, frank turner…etc etc
TBG without GSBG is like a Christmas without presents. Going to the beach without getting in the ocean.
I’d love to see The Dead Winter Carpenters get to Telluride! INcredible band from Tahoe.

(You can even see me jumping around right in front of Jenny in that one!)
I also think getting Flatland Harmony Experiment back to play a full set would be awesome!

Maybe so, but nothing is a “for sure”…depends on what else they’ve got up their sleeve
Except Sammy, of course. As long as he’s physically able to play TBF, he’ll be there. It’s been 40 years since he first played Telluride and he hasn’t missed one since.
2015 Line up dream team
Me and you and buckets of sunshine, rain and possibly snow.]

Tony Furtado
Tony Rice
Ricky Skaggs
David Grisman
The Last Bison
Rose’s Pawn Shop
Chick Corea & Bela Fleck
Started my own thread before I saw this one.
Here’s my hopes for 2015, besides what I think is a given (not necessarily my dream team)
Mumford and Sons
Old Crow Medicine Show
Steep Canyons Rangers (love seeing Steve Martin, but prefer the Rangers by themselves)
Railroad Earth
Brandi Carlile
Infamous Stringdusters
I am thinking/hoping Greensky is a given
:wave :thumbsup :cheers :flower :lol
After reading through everybody’s I would agree Dolly and Alison Krauss would be amazing!
Leftover salmon
Jeff Austin band
Del
Absinthe quintet
I would not object…as long as Phil does sing more than two songs
Would love to see you bring Trigger Hippy this year!
Surprise me! You always have, with such well-known bluegrass artists like:
Wilco
David Byrne
kd lang
Robert Plant
Steve Winwood
New Orleans Social club
Sharon Jones & Dap Kings
Bobby McFerrin
Richard Thompson
John Fogerty
Feist
Sarah McLachlan
Barenaked Ladies
Sometimes I wonder if I could just skip over the announcement of the lineup, knowing that it will be great no matter what. But I just get too excited to be able to let that happen.
Keb Mo
Ricky Scaggs
Dolly P
Rohnda V
Robert Plant
Ralph Stanley
The Steel Drivers
Blue Highway
Frank and the DK
Henhouse Prowlers
Vince Gill
Neil Young
John Prine
Elephant Revival
cool on trigger hippy. i just bought that cd but it’s shelved right now till i learn the new cat stevens cd.
there’s so much new good music. omg
Well lessee…
Neil Young, if he doesn’t have a wedding schedule conflict.
Jeff Tweedy, with Wilco or his solo, his choice, and/or
Jay Farrar, with Son Volt or without, do he and Jeff get along these days?
Trampled By Turtles
Infamous Stringdusters
Sam Beam with whatever Iron & Wine incarnation
Burns/Convertino and whatever version of Calexico
I hope Greensky Bluegrass is just a given by now
I hope they got Yo-Yo Ma booked 3 years ago for 2015 so we can hear some Goat Rodeo
Then connect the dots to a Crooked Still get-together
I second (or third) the Rawlings/Welch with emphasis on Welch
Jason Isbell (yes, again)
Patty Griffin
Neko Case
Neutral Milk Hotel if they’re out and about (their live show in Abq last year was great)
Tea Leaf Green for something different
Drew Kennedy (his last two albums have been really good)
and finally, They Who Shall Not Be Named :evil (which is actually a pretty good band name, but this is the place-holder for the band or individual performer that you, dear reader, do not want to see at the festival, and you’ll gripe about it, but they’ll be there anyway) :evil If they’re not already up there on my list, that is…
Mix some of these in with the cast of regulars and you got yourself a feeessstttiiivaaaalll!
