Old Crow Medicine Show: I have seen this band 3 times and they are absolutely amazing. They are such talented musicials and I think they would be a great addition to the '09 lineup.

My music suggestions for upcoming festivals are:

John Butler
Everybody Fields
Avett Brothers
Crooked Still
Neko Case
Keller Williams
The Felice Brothers
The Waybacks
David Grisman
Doc Watson
Amos Lee
The Gourds

Happy Holidays Everyone!!!

Oakhurst (pleez pleez pleez)
Assembly of Dust
Leftover Salmon (again) or Great American Taxi or just get Vince Herman and Drew Emmitt up there!
Keller Williams would be amazing. Let him bring who he wants…
John Butler
Robert Earl Keen, Jr.
Pat Green
Willie Nelson

(get Robert Earl Keen, Jr, Pat Green, and Willie Nelson on stage together… that would be pretty amazing).

Of all the bands above, I think Oakhurst deserves a good two-hour setting at TBF…

Howdy Y’all ~

My first little venture into Festival-Telluride land. First, a very Merry Christmas to all from the mountains of N.C., the land of Merlefest.

Have wanted to get out to Telluride for years, & this just may be the year we can accomplish it. I’m going to suggest a rather eclectic blend, but I’m sure most of these folks are on the radar.

Aside from the regulars, (New Grass genre gang) I bleeve you should consider the following:
Goose Creek Symphony
Cherryholmes
Ollabelle
Guy Clark
Toubab Krewe
Asylum Street Spankers

Wishing all a Blessed New Year!! Peace’s

i just want to say that i ENTHUSIASTICALLY agree with Cherryholmes!!!

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

:cheers

You guys probably are well aware of this band, but you HAVE to get BIG SMITH to play in Telluride. They are the stars of the recent documentary Homemade Hillbilly Jam. I have had many friends with discriminating taste give them rave reviews, including Scott Knauer (he is the artist of last years and this years poster for the BlueGrass Festival). They hail from Missouri and are wildly popular throughout the midwest, and now because of the documentary are getting the publicity they deserve!

  1. Trampled By Turtles
  2. Trampled By Turtles
  3. The Avett Brothers

Special person to never have back at Telluride: Ryan Adams

Honkytonk Homeslice
Hot Buttered Rum
Bonnie Raitt
Yonder…of course…
Taj Majal
Del
Eddie Vedder (solo, acoustic)

Actually I would really like to just get some sort of lineup announcement at this point. So I am starting to think that PB must have some major, major acts to announce. Something that is darn near earth shattering!! They could of told us weeks ago that the usual suspects will be there, and they kinda did. I just think some bigger than normal acts are going to be at T-Ride or maybe I am just too impatient. Peace and Happy New Year. Big Al

It would be great to see these bands:

KieranKane, Kevin Welch,& Fats Kaplin - these guys just get better &better and play other folk festivals, why not Telluride.

The Waybacks would be another great new addition.

  1. Trampled By Turtles
  2. Yonder Mountain
  3. Avett Brothers
  4. Hot Buttured Rum
  5. Del McCoury Band
  6. Spring Creek Bluegrass Band
  7. Leftover Salmon (or at least some form of them)
  8. Greensky Bluegrass
  9. Gillian Welch
  10. Cornmeal

Non-Bluegrassish band- Animal Liberation Orchestra or Mason Jennings

I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to see Neil Young in Telluride. Given his performance history with Emmy Lou, I’m really surprised that he hasn’t ever made the lineup (as far as I know).

I have to vote for Railroad Earth again. I just saw them in Dallas again last month and they were even better than ever. And how about Son Volt? And Natalie McMaster would be great to see again. What evergy she has!Paul Simon would be a wonderful performer, as usual. How about Bob Dylan? Crosby, Stills, Nash, and/or Young? Joni Mitchell? John Hiatt? Lyle Lovett?South Austin Jug Band? And of course, the T-Ride house band: Bela Fleck, Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, and Edgar Meyer. And Tim O’Brien, for sure! And Chris Thile! Geez! Everyone I’ve ever seen at T-Ride over the past 11 years is fabulous! Too many to list!

See ya’ll in June!

Railroad Earth has already been confirmed! (THANKS PBG!!)… No need to keep requesting them, lol!
:medal :dancing

This is our ‘wish list’… Let hear those suggestions!!

I’m a gigantic fan of Dave Alvin, who has a broad and eclectic American music sensibility that I think would be fantastic at T-ride. He played the “Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival” earlier this year, and is just a fantastic performer and interpreter. Worth checking out…
