Hmm, why in the world was Anais Mitchell added to Rocky Grass instead of Folks Fest? She’s all about the latter audience. I’m all for mixing it up, but this would be the equivalent of giving someone like Leonard Cohen or Joni Mitchell a lead slot at Rocky Grass - RG attendees just wouldn’t “get it”, and I’m honestly trying not to be dismissive here. Guess I’ll have to catch Anais in her “Hadestown” appearance in Denver in October.
Ooops, never mind, I found she IS at Folks Fest! One of those “Eventful” notifier things told me she was going to be at Rocky Grass. Wrong, Eventful folks! And this has restored my confidence in Planet Bluegrass - and Anais is a great add to the bill.
