I’m surprised nobody has mentioned the Avett bros. they have played the fest before and are playing at Red Rocks July 5 and 6 I think. Kind of in the same vein, but I would prefer them over Mumford.
never really listened to mumford. watched them on the grammys the other night. meh. they seem like a pop 40 band that happens to have a banjo player. please no mumford.
how about bringing lyle lovette and his large band back. in my humble opinion he was the best act of 2009. never seen lyle before, it took me about a week to pick my jaw off the ground. he and his band are some very talented musicians.
Especially with the amount of hype for this announcement, a lot of people will be disappointed if they announce Mumford. Except the hipsters of course.
I have my TBF-XXXX ticket so I won’t be disappointed when/if they announce Mumford and Sons and hopefully The Goat Rodeo. :medal
I don’t get it when people write about other’s opinions and hopes. Who’s in that lot? Not this 50+hipster. They don’t have to go if they’re so disappointed, right?
I definitely won’t be disappointed if they announce Mumford.
That said, let’s put a last minute appeal in for a solo performance by Chris Thile. I know a lot of people will yawn at this but it’s really Chris at his best in a lot of ways and not that many get to see it or that often.
It will not play on the main stage and Elks Park is not quite right either. The Sheridan won’t work because of obvious conflicts, so…
A special show at the Nugget Theater? Pretty please…
