2016 NightGrass announced

Howdy everyone!

It’s mid-April, so as promised we just posted this year’s NightGrass schedule! :eek
www.bluegrass.com/telluride/nightgrass.html

We’re again presenting shows in the Sheridan, Palm, Conference Center, and some very intimate shows in the Swede-Finn Hall (Elks Club building a block from the gondola).

In addition to many of our favorites - Yonder, Greensky, Stringdusters, Punch Brothers, Leftover Salmon - we have a couple fun new addition to the NightGrass lineup: The Hillbenders will be performing their incredible bluegrass version of Tommy; Del McCoury Band will be performing the epic Saturday night show at the Sheridan; and the virtuosic trio of Haas Kowert Tice will be playing Saturday at the Swede-Finn.

We’re trying something a little different with the Swede-Finn this year, presenting intimate acoustic duos and trios: Mandolin Orange, Sierra Hull, and Haas Kowert Tice.

As with last year, all NightGrass tickets will be sold via an online lottery, open from Tues-Wed, April 26-27.

Sweet, Tommy at Rockygrass last summer was BAD ASS!!!

Saturday night special for GSB and Sugar gets his wish for a Thursday dusting.

All is well in Festivarian land. Is it June yet?

:dance

Yes! Thursday night Dusters set! Since The Smokies won’t be doing a nightgrass, The Dusters will likely be the only one I hit this year.

Holy smokes my head is exploding! :eek Yesterday Greensky announces a free show in Wyoming, only 2 hours from Denver; today we get a Strings & Sol announcement AND a Saturday nightgrass announcement. Thanks Planet, this day is kicking a$$ right now!

Don’t you just love it when everything works out! :slight_smile:

Thanks Brian! :cheers
Looking good!!!
Coming down the final stretch … it’s almost our favorite time of year :concert

FESSSTIIVAAAAALLLL!!!

:cheers

Oh if only I did not need sleep during festival :huh

It’s not sleep I’m worried about; I don’t want to miss the party at camp!

In Town Park it’s called “sleep with one ear open”.

I confess.

Im pretty much flying from Australia to see the Greensky nightgrass show…last year it blew my mind. Cannot wait, cannot wait, cannot wait.

See you all soon!
