Next year is a big one…let’s hear some lineup dreaming. Top of my list? Dolly. I know, I know, seems unlikely, but as far as I know she has never played and is such an icon. Who else is on your list?
For those wondering, Billy Strings already has other gigs that weekend. 
Henhouse Prowlers, and Pretend Friend are two acts that should be on that stage.
I’d love Sturgil again.
Willie
Ween all country set
Hot Rize
I’d like to see two house bands sets, 1 the standard classic band, and 2 a new generation house band of younger players
LOS
I think some fun happy dancing feel good music like Michael Franti would be nice
Larry Keel
Bad Livers, or Danny Barnes and David Grisman
Just saw Bela Fleck do his Banjo concerto with Symphony, and that would be awesome to see at TBF!
Kyle Tuttle Band
Elephant Revival w/ Sage Cook and Big Dan
Truckstop Honeymoon
Arlo Guthrie
John Fullbright
King Cabbage Brass Band for 2nd lines through audience
and of course Dolly
Joni
Tommy Prine would be perfect for TBF
Crying Uncle is ready to move up. They played Del Fest, IBMA, and HSB. These kids are hot pickers, fine singers, and all around good folks.
Todd I love the next gen house band set! Our Og House Band is irreplaceable, but formalizing that chance for the younger bands to have that set where they come together across bands and do sit ins would be so much fun.

Denver’s Devotchka!! Nick Urata and Devotchka has done music for Little Miss Sunshine, Crazy Stupid Love, Foxtrot and many more. They are from DENVER!!!
Tyler Childers just announced his 2023 tour.
Looks like he is in Missouri the 15th and open all month after. All signs point to a telluride set
Just saw a terrific show by Bill Evans, Darol Anger, Chad Manning, John Reischman, Sharon Gilchrist,and Jim Nunally. They go by California Bluegrass Reunion and they were absolutely first rate.
They would make a terrific addition to the Shellman Stage.
Nickel Creek just announced January shows in Europe & Nashville.
Just sayin’…
Havent been since '17 so need help… in so many ways. Can we drive from mt village to fest each day…we did in’11. Im bettin no
