              We would really love to know what day Loreena will be there.  My husband has to work Fri-Sun and can only take one day off!! 
             
            
               
               
               
            
            
                 
                 
              
           
          
            
            
              good start!  still a headliner (maybe two)… pretty late on the lineup this year, but last year was so great maybe it carried over!
to see a few new names is always good.  but then I always seem to learn more about (new at least to me) music at Folks than anywhere else…
             
            
               
               
               
            
            
                 
                 
              
           
          
            
            
              Honestly…like the last few years of Folks Fest lineups, I am quite underwhelmed again with this pre-lim lineup.  YMWV, as folk music to me is much more than strum-strum.  Key words:  more uptempo and more cultural.
             
            
               
               
               
            
            
                 
                 
              
           
          
            
            
              Patty G…WOW! So much soul in that tiny white body :medal where did she get that from? :medal
             
            
               
               
               
            
            
                 
                 
              
           
          
            
            
              Maybe just one more week to go for the rest…
Last year lineup was released on 24.April 
             
            
               
               
               
            
            
                 
                 
              
           
          
            
            
              I am so ready for the rest of the lineup.
             
            
               
               
               
            
            
                 
                 
              
           
          
            
            
              We’re getting close.  But it’s looking like we’re probably about 2 weeks away from the complete single-day lineup announcement…
It’ll be worth the wait… We have some great things still in the works.   :cheers

              I am also underwhelmed by the line-up, but Brian never steers us wrong.    Here’s to some great news in a couple of weeks.
