Amen, brother! WOW! :medal :medal :medal

I am happy. :thumbsup

Excellent mix (for me, anyway). Several I’ve seen and loved, several I’ve never seen but really want to and several that I’ve not heard of. Well done, PB.

Really excited about all of these, but these three especially. I missed Emmitt-Nershi last time because of a 2 hour shuttle line in Illium. And Michael Cleveland is a great fiddler, been wondering when he would make an appearance!

Still holding out hope for an LoS announcement.

Now that I have spent some time listening to the two artists I didn’t know much about, I am excited to see them play. You rock, PB! :cheers

* Robert Plant & Band of Joy * Bela Fleck & the Original Flecktones * Railroad Earth * Edgar Meyer * Punch Brothers * Cornmeal

All of them, I’m sure, will be good, but these have me particularly excited.

Ditto - -Michael Cleveland is a wicked fiddler! I’m excited for him and hadn’t heard of him before yesterday.

He is indeed. A friend turned my girlfriend and I onto him about two years ago. He’s got a great story too. Among other things, he’s almost completely blind! He holds his fiddle bow more like a club than a bow, and yet he’s won IMBA Fiddle Player of the year 6 or 7 times in a row.

That’s a can’t miss set for sure. It’d be cool to see him do a workshop as well.

do you think the jerry douglas band will play? or some form of mr jerry solo besides just with the house band? i hope so!!! :oconnor

I know this is probably not the best forum for such requests, but I vote for Jerry & Bela duo. :slight_smile:

And of course I’m happy to see Emmylou coming back again. :flower

Love love love

Happy happy happy

All incredible musicians!!!

Dreaming of June even more so now!!!

Woooohooooo!!!

Man that preliminary lineup really sends chills down your spine! :thumbsup
I for one am so glad to see the Stringdusters will be at TBF this year!! :cheers We went to their Festy in Virginia this October, and they were simply awesome :medal
I’m always happy to see the old familiars: the House Band, Tim O’Brien, Punch Brothers…
And the new stuff I look forward to discover!
My fingers are still crossed for Crooked Still, Alison Krauss, Blue Highway…

As always, awesome job PB! :clap

Great line up PB. You’re going to have a blast.

Very solid lineup!!

I can almost guarantee we’ll get more Jerry than just The House Band. Even if he doesn’t get his own set, he’ll be out playing with probably a third of the acts. That’s how Jerry rolls.

Nice pun.

Anyway, here’s a video (my g/f’s favorite) of Michael Cleveland. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7jDm__47Gw

Not sure who plays that song better, Stuart or Michael?

Happy dance in Flagstaff!

Can I assume that Michael Cleveland will be a Thursday set since he’s playing in New York that Saturday?
