I thought you meant Samoan. PB would be calling Lou Albano to set up the booking?
If history is any indication (please baby please baby please), the Stingdusters alternate between Bluegrass and Rockygrass. That would put them in Town Park this year. Here’s hoping!!
I still love the traditional bluegrass : Foghorn Stringband would be great !!

All right, that’s enough of that …get the “L” outta here! :pirate
I second that! They would be a PERFECT fit!
I don’t think having Los Lobos back would be a bad thing. Heard their new album? holy smokes!!!
Now I have to take a listen Doc Mike! I have always loved their sound… :cheers :cheers
Ferg Schmerg we got this! :lol :lol :medal
Saturday night special:
Trombone Shorty. He would blow everyone AWAY!
or
Tedeschi Trucks Band - Susan’s been to TBF and their combined band is HOT!
Avett Brothers - it’s been a while since they played TBF and they are better than ever!
Ray Lamontagne - just kidding.
Bobby McFerrin - still one of my all time favorite TBF performances
Martin Sexton - great live performer
The Mavericks - really fun in concert
i agree with warren and RRE and los lobos and would love to see ziggy marley there
me just glad it isn’t all bluegrass all the time and i have nothing against bluegrass!!
would love some killer east coast celtic fiddle music

Gillian Welch with David Rawlings were off the charts at Hardly Strictly On Saturday Banjo Stage. Check out the Webcast Archive 2015 at http://www.hardlystrictlybluegrass.com/2015. They stood out for me among a lot of great acts.
Let me first say that in the years that I have been coming to TBF (since2000) I have been exposed to so many incredible groups (Cheese, Yonder, Leftover,Nickel Creek,Calexico,Edwin Sharpe) to name a few. That said I have incredible faith and confidence in your ability to procure talent. I would love to hear Railroad Earth again and with Mr. Haynes, it might be truly amazing. I would also love “I’m With Her” or any group with Aiofe. My Friday night blast recommendation would be Tedeschi Trucks. Really trust your good taste
AND: I just heard a duet called ROAR. He plays drums and keys, she sings, plays trombone, dances. I couldn’t believe that this duo could make such infectious dancing music. Reminded me, in a quirky sort of way of either The Subdudes or Calexico in terms of wow! what an unexpected pleasure. BTW they’re from New Orleans
Harry Manx:
I just had the pleasure of catching Warren Haynes’ show in Boston last night. It was outstanding. The music he’s playing these days (his band included a banjo, mandolin and fiddle) will never be more aligned with TBF than it is now. Whether its with RRE (my first choice!) or whatever configuration Warren wants to bring, please Craig, try to make this happen for 2016!
I believe Warren is currently touring with a group called Chess Boxer made up of former Cadillac Sky members. That would be great, too, but Warren and RRE really is the top potential act as far as I’m concerned.
:wave GOOSEBUMP CITY! :flower Warren !!! Perfect beautiful fit… gobs and gobs of great tunes :medal
I think Jake Bugg would be a fun addition. He’s a really great, up and coming British songwriter. Here are a few of his tunes. Note, these are not safe for work, so don’t play them somewhere where you could get in trouble for language.
Or just listen to his self titled debut album from a few years ago.
I’m confident that the TBF2016 line up will be fantastic. My question involves the Camp Run-A-Muck line up. Who are you guys presenting in 2016?
