A couple more additions this week to the 2010 RockyGrass lineup:
The Horse Flies - Deeply skilled and reverent of old-time stringband music, the Horse Flies take this old-time mountain music to still unexplored mountain ranges. Their 2005 late-night set on the Telluride stage remains one of our favorites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaVFzdroXKg
After some incredible sets from some of the music’s greatest legends - Doc Watson, Tony Rice, Jesse McReynolds & Bobby Osborne - a set of post-modern mountain music will be the perfect complement, and a chance to break out those special dancing shoes.
Frank Solivan & Dirty Kitchen - Multi-instrumentalist, Frank Solivan II is a former member of the Navy’s Country Current band and a great picker and singer. A long-time resident of Alaska, Frank mentored many of the state’s young bluegrass bands (including Bearfoot). There are some great youtubes of Frank jamming with Jesse Cobb of the Stringdusters. Here’s a great one of Frank and his band: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wR_R8lyEM
Stay tuned. We’ve got more additions still to come…
I remember the Horse Flies set, infectious beat :medal :medal and love the new to me band Frank Solivan and Dirty Kitchen!
Is it too early to start getting excited??? :flower
Man, The Horse Flies are going to “ROCK” your Bluegrass world! As I heard the story, tons of folks were leaving the field at TBF one year and all of the sudden the place was PACKED AGAIN! Amazing music! :thumbsup
Just wondering if maybe some lineup announcements are on the Horizon? Looks like 22 bands are typical for the festival which leaves maybe 5 bands yet announced?
