Kinda early for a list but I’ll play! Speaking of songbirds, how about the Trishas? Check 'em out on Music Fog http://youtu.be/17oHX6aeb2E They’re going to be at the Sheridan Opera House this Friday night too!
There’s ALWAYS plenty of that sort of cheese to go around: not sure if I first sensed it when Sam told the “I’m going to turn this car around” joke the second time (“you sunk my battleship” – a Simpsons’ reference, came to mind), or when Bela endlessly gets “prodded to sing” for the 132nd time.
How about a bunch of bands I’ve never heard of that have become favorites (ala Mumford, Cornmeal, Keller Williams, subdudes)?
And then at least one Big Name Artist that I would have never expected to see at a “bluegrass” festival (David Byrne, New Orleans All Stars, Sharon Jones)?
Then a few bands who haven’t been back to T-ride for a few years but come back better than ever (Stringdusters, Steep Canyon Rangers, Decemberists)?
Their new release “Radio Tragedy” is impressive. They’re more keyboard oriented than most jam bands, but I’d love to see them in Telluride. Don’t let the BeeGee-esque (yes, Bee Gees) chorus of “Easy To Be Your Lover” fool you- these guys display more musical influences on the first five tracks of this album than most bands do in a whole career. :medal
how about we give mumford and sons some time off…maybe they can tour some different stuff for a while then come back, maybe.
in the meantime, how about giving pokey lafarge and the south city three a listen.
i think the wood brothers on a thursday or friday night would be great!
of course, danny barnes, danny barnes, danny barnes…
larry keel, keller williams, lots of small bands hungry and on fire, ready to go!!
