When you have a supergroup like WPA listed so far down the roster, you can be sure this is gonna be one wonderful weekend. I always liked the Mutual Admiration Society (and Toad), but now you add Tench and all the other players? I cannot WAIT to hear that new CD, and I cannot WAIT to hear it live!
But all the other additions you just announced? Jeez, I need to go to sleep, but is it possible to snooze with such excitement running thru my brain? I hope not.
The best part is that I’m always surprised by a band or artist that I don’t really know well until I see them on the T-Ride stage (i.e. Keller Williams, the subdudes, Steep Canyon Rangers). Someone is probably going to turn into a big favorite of mine.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for a GREAT line-up!!!
You have no idea how we all (love you)are so devoted to to this festival, we know it’s not an easy thing to pull off. Sorry but yer stuck with us till death I’m afraid.
:lovedr you folks are the best…
WAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOTDOG and JIMMENY CRICKETS BATMAN!!!
Luke is coming back though, and he was absolutely brilliant last year, there are a lot of good picks in the lineup already, so who knows, but the houseband should be epic once more :cheers
That’s where I was last year, but I had two brothers that I was going with who did know them that could educate me. That and on the way down we gave Chris Elliot, the banjo player from Spring Creek (they opened the second day I believe), a ride from Montana, so I had even more education, really excited about the lineup, You’ll have a great time :cheers
I’ll definitely second that motion!!! :thumbsup
He’s the only person missing for my dream house band… but if he doesn’t make it I’ll settle with Mark O’Connor…
-Railroad Earth getting the longer friday closing set softens the blow that LoS won’t be filling that spot.
-Greensky being asked back because of their hard work and progress over the past couple of years makes me smile. I just hope folks come out early enough on sat to se them.
-Sat lineup looks STELLAR. Really not a stinker in the bunch. I really hope to see a Greensky Bluegrass nightgrass on sat night.
Looks like we’re gonna get Railroad Earth at the Sheridan on thurs night. Woooohooooo! I want to go NOW!
Are we pretty sure that RRE will get the closer on Friday? Maybe I missed something but I thought we just had the daily lineups so far not any talk of schedules? They probably would be the front runner but I wouldn’t be shocked to see Elvis Costello or even John Cowan Band get it.
Same question about RRE at the Sheridan on Thurs.??
I guess the question also applies to Greensky allegedly playing early on Saturday?
Along those lines, whats everbodys bets on who gets the Sheridan shows???
Here’s my best guess.
Yonder (duh)
RRE (pretty easy guess as well)
Greensky (they just seem like a great fit)
and… Punch Brothers… they might not get as many votes as the others but their show there last year was EPIC. best music of the whole fest for us.
and some intersting long shots… a Nickel Creek reunion, (and a really long shot) Todd Snider with a bluegrass backing band.
One more thing. With all the speculation about the House Band being batted about, thought that I’d throw my idea out there. Last year with Luke was great and we all now that Stuart would be amazing as well but, I think it would be really cool to see them go with a little more traditional bluegrass sound than they typically do. So… Sam moves over to fiddle and Mike Compton steps in on the mando.
Ahh yes. A Nickel Creek reunion…I wasn’t going to say anything but since its been brought up, that set alone would be worth the trip. Please? Pretty Please? :flower
My understanding from T.Tom is that the line-up is shown in reverse order of appearence. So RRE would close Friday’s line up. Happy B-day to my bride Jo (Kimmy) that turns 50 today!! :medal :flower :thumbsup :cheers
