I would like the honor of being the 1,000th festivarian to request Railroad Earth. It would be great to see Hot Buttered Rum back on the stage. Honky Tonk Homeslice and Old Crow Medicine Show would be sweet. Leftover Salmon should just be considered one of “the regulars” at this point.
The Avett Brothers have significantly advanced as musicians since the last time they rocked Town Park’s collective faces off. I would love to see them at the Opera House again. It also seems like it is about time for John Butler to get everyone shaking their thang.
Other non-traditional requests:
Eddie Vedder
Grace Potter
Fleet Foxes
The Dodos
Andrew Bird
The Roots
Holy crapola - I almost forgot Trampled By Turtles. They would be great at getting the crowd riled up in the afternoon!
Cadillac Sky

Well, i don’t think that they’ve been mentioned yet but…
Surprise Me Mr. Davis
They would be PHENOMENAL as one of the ‘not quite bluegrass’ artists that we’ve seen lately.
Not only are they fronted by one of the absolute best songwriters of his generation (we all remember him from last year right?) but, they are all very special musicians.
Give em a shot.
and as long as we’re hoping…
BB King playing the opening Sunday Morning slot
and Spring Creek anytime
I would love to see Hot Buttered Rum at TBG this year…I miss seeing them at this festival. Caught up with them at the Los Tortugas festival in Yosemite in October and they said they would be willing coming…they just need the invite! Please Please Please bring them back- everyone I know wants them back!
Also, a newer group- Cornmeal! They get down…real dust kickers!
A not so bluegrass group- Tea Leaf Green- would be an amazing Saturday night gig. Talked to their lead singer Trevor Garrod about coming and I know they would be up for it…hope its not too late…please look into it!
Has anyone heard of Trampled By Turtles? They are absolutely out of this world – taking the midwest and everywhere else they go by storm. Please give them a listen! :thumbsup
Saw 'em for the second time last week. They are indeed a killer band and would be a great nightgrass show as well as a good middle afternoon main stage show.
