You know what is amazing about this lineup?

Brandi Carlile writes about her life and tries to use her life as a canvas for her songs.
While Josh Ritter has the opposite approach to writing. Writing about anything and everything that is not autobiographical.

Both excellent , but totally different.
This is going to be a very very good Folks Fest and I hope they will be the instuctors at song school as well. :medal

I am excited for this summer, chalked full of great music, so diverse :medal

This line up is looking amazing. Just got out of an in store show by Alejandro Escoveda, he would be a great add. And here’s to dreaming that possibly Todd Snider, Antje Duvekot, Richard Shindell, or Shawn Mullins might make the list. :thumbsup

It looks like Martin Sexton will be playing Friday. This pleases me greatly. :pickin

I just noticed this forum while perusing the TBF board, which I will be attending for the first time this year. Gotta love planet bluegrass.
