Building the excitement - "bets" on the final names

I agree with and would be stoked with several of the above names and some are much more likely than mine. His memorable show in 2002 was mellow, yet entrancing and powerful. This year, Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals will be headlining a night at TBF. They are playing just a handful of dates this spring and summer, but almost nobody who has played on the Fred Shellman stage would turn down another opportunity to return to Telluride.

That would be incredible! I hope that you are right.

That would be outrageous. Their 2000 show from the Aragon in Chicago is one of the best shows that I’ve attended. I’m pulling for this one – knew they were touring this summer, but didn’t even think about hoping for them at TBF until just now.

How cool would that be? They are playing in Belgium on 28 June!

Well I think PB should just take our list and add all of them to the lineup. Everyone wins.

Looks like we can cross tedeschi trucks band off the list. They are open on Thursday but play Friday in WI. That’s a haul from Telluride.

The Brothers Comatose would be a nice addition…

If I were a betting man, I’d say Mumford. Inasmuch as I am a wishful thinker, I’d say Railroad or SCI

:thedude pick ONE and get back to us!

Well!! Looks like David Grisman is going to be in Grass Valley Ca. on the 18th and 19th .

You are so cheeky Auntie Hope , ha ha ha ha ha xx

:lol :lol

I already made my bet, but what about Elephant Revival? They’re playing at Palisade the weekend before, and they don’t have anything scheduled the weekend of TBF. That would be a great addition! I loved their NightGrass show a couple of years ago.

Anyway, someone else feel free to use them for your bet. I just thought I would throw that out there!

I’ll take ER. For some reason I haven’t listened to them much, but that is definitely changing. Saw them at Winterwondergrass last weekend and was blown away. And of course I developed a healthy crush on Bonnie and Bridget.

ok SCI

SCI is String Cheese Incident. They are a difficult band to categorize. Some call them jamgrass, but I’m not so sure they fit that bill. They’re a little more jam and a little less grass than what I would normally consider jamgrass. Check them out on youtube and archive. Really good stuff!

Unfortunately, I doubt they’ll be in Telluride this year. The played most recently at the 40th. The last time they played before that was the 30th. I think they’ve got a fan base that’s a little too rabid for the laid back festival that is Telluride. I hope I’m wrong, though. I’d love to see them back at the festival.

I couldn’t make it to WinterWonderGrass this year, but their WWG set last year was magical. They’re playing with Trampled by Turtles in Laramie this weekend, and I’m oh-so-tempted to go! I just don’t know if I want to make that 2-hour-each-way drive by myself that night, especially if there’s weather. Sigh…

Linds… Safety First, but have a great time if you go!
