Sturgill Simpson would fit right in, I would think.
How about a return of the Carolina Chocolate Drops - they were on fire at Fresh Grass this past September. Or perhaps a gathering of the New Basement Tapes participants.
Fleet Foxes
Wood Brothers
Michael Kiwanuka
^ these are my “not-really-bluegrass” lineup picks. 
Larry keel
And hope leftover is still there
I’ve got a suggestion for the kids tent, as I’m bringing the family this time around and it would go a long ways in my house if it happened. The Okee Dokee Brothers are a kids bluegrass band, raised in Colorado, have one Grammy to their credit and have been nominated for a second. Check em out!
The album “Can you Canoe?” is responsible for the canoe now hanging off the ceiling in my garage!
wow, just listened to Carolina Chicolate Drops for first time, fantastic, thanks for suggesting.
Pert’ Near Sandstone. Saw them this weekend, and they are a ton of fun!
Yes they would
i have never been to the TBF(yet) but i do like sturgill
Turtles All the Way Down | Sturgill Simpson
and to plug more local Celtic…
i like poor angus’s song silver islet
not the best recording but here’s their web addy
any TBF vets know if zac brown has played there
or michael franti?
Yep, Spearhead in 04 and Zac Brown Band in 2009
Railroad Earth just finished recording an album with Warren Haynes, that would be a nice closer. Been a few years since Railroad last played TBF. And Warren, well you know…
I’ve been waffling about whether I can make the trip or not, but if this (or Tedeschi Trucks Band) gets booked, I’ll do everything in my power to get down there.
And we want Matt to finally make his way back and get that true Town Park experience he deserves. After all, he did introduce me and my younger brother (who some of you have met) to bluegrass music and this festival 8 or 9 years ago. I wouldn’t have made 7 years in a row if Matt hadn’t given me the initial push.
:cheers
I agree with Tedeschi Trucks. Barr Brothers also, the are great!
Matt, you need to come home, Man!
Hackensaw Boys :thumbsup just sayin :cheers
i just found out about this guy

Jake Shimabukuro LIVE Ukulele Concert: While My Guitar Gently Weeps

I’m actually pretty sure he has. I think he came with Bela Fleck like 10 years ago or so.
Jake played a tweener many years ago that was so good. He can really whale on that Uke I don’t think he played an actual set however. Love his energy! :medal
Yes, Jake played Telluride in 2004, a tweener. He was on tour with The Flecktones. He did an Elks Park workshop with Bela that year. Love that man. Uke on crack is the best description! :thumbsup
