Guessing game.

:wave
We all know between nightgrass possibilities, firstgrass elks park and the remainder of the main stage there’s still at least 8-10 more artists TBA.

I’ve been combing the forum for past dates of remaining line-up announcements, teases, games etc… and for the past 12-13 years hints and leaks have started by now, with lots of known conflicts that eliminate certain artists. Looks to me typically the full main stage line-up along with nightgrass is out during the second week of March. :thumbsup

Hoping we get some hints, teases or games soon to keep up the suspense. :evil

One of the cool old threads was a betting game started by AF for guessing one of the remaining artists. :cheers

I’m going all in on the Bad Livers!

would love to see Tanya Tucker! Her latest album is excellent plus she has a wonderful body of work.

Hey, come join us for Old Settlers in April. Tanya Tucker is in the lineup.

Just saw that Nickel Creek is co-headlining Moon River Fest in Chattanooga this Sept! Maybe there is a chance they will make a return again to TBF?

Chris Stapleton has a gap in his tour schedule 6/21 through 6/24. In Salt Lake 6/25. Would be a nice Sat/Sun addition. We have seen this date/location setup with Tedeschi Trucks recently. Also, playing two nights in Denver 6/26 and 6/27 so the non announcement makes sense. Sheryl Crow warming up for him in Utah as is Mike Campbell (Guitarist for TP and Heartbreakers)

I would love to hear Yarn in the canyon

Bela just announced a project called My Bluegrass Heart ft. Bela, William “Billy Strings” Apostol, Sierra Hull, Michael Cleveland, and Mark Schatz.

So, I’m officially guessing/hoping/praying/whatever for that :wink:

No need to wait for Yarn, they will be in Greeley in March or come for two nights in Carbondale at the most intimate listening room you could imagine, Steves Guitars.

Wow! Just saw the Watermelon Park line-up with Dusters, and Bad Livers. I’d take it all!

The band I just started playing with is opening for Yarn at Globe Hall in Denver next month. pumped

Thanks for the heads up. Already have tickets to PHAB4 and Stringdusters when Yarn plays the Front Range. Such a tough life deciding between all these shows… But I really hope to catch them live sooner than later!

That’s awesome! Let me know if you have any gigs coming up in Fort Collins, I would love to check it out.

Really hoping for that final Festival announcement any day now

We are playing Prost on May 9th. Hope to play Fort Collins at least once a month this summer. Our lead singer is doing the booking right now. Trying to convince him to book around the entire state and not just Denver where the scene is pretty clicky.

Hey Alex, is it Shad Buxman and the Graveyard Shift?

Yep, sure is. I am playing mandolin and lead guitar for them.

Already catering for Sam, in a band opening for Yarn. Life seems to be coming together nicely for you bro since moving to the front range! :thumbsup

Yarn is cool. An old friend who past used to help them with booking and promotions early on.

I’m hoping 1 or more of these will be in the final announcement: Bad Livers, Sierra Hull, Bruce Hornsby, or John Fulbright.

I wonder if they would book Bela’s newest project, My Bluegrass Heart with Bela, Billy, Michael Cleveland, Sierra, & Mark Schatz. They don’t have any dates before Sept, so unlikely, but hey this is the guessing game!

Fullbright is one of the best writers out there. What a talent!

I would have put my money on Bela’s new project that Zack posted on. But this recent tweet seems to indicate Watermelon will be first date … or does it say that? Maybe I’ll be keeping my fingers too! :clap

@belafleckbanjo
Our first announced date as My Bluegrass Heart, my new project featuring William Apostol, Michael Cleveland, Sierra Hull & Mark Schatz. See you in Berryville, VA for @watermelonparkf! Tickets on sale Tuesday, 2/25 at 11am.

That show is in September. They have another in October. Thats why I added Sierra Hull, should have added Michael Cleveland. I know Flamekeepers have open dates for most of June.
But Sierra Hull has one gig in SC on Saturday of festival.

Am I the only one where single-day breakdowns and lineup additions are???

From a little research, in 2018 they were released February 8th. Anyone have insight as to when they were last year?
