Well, it sure looks like they could hang for a sit-in or two! :lol

Not to mention the the insight gained from the Rockygrass Academy page:

Infamous Stringdusters
Psychograss??
Bryan Sutton
Russ Barenberg

Now if I can only get some positive vibes from the lottery results, I’ll be really stoked!

Let me update that…from Russ Barenberg’s website:

Sweet!

GO GO Alaskan musicians! :thumbsup

I’ve heard them once in Fairbanks. They are an awesome young group.

Bearfoot has been playing RockyGrass for several years now I think… maybe three?

but alas, I spaced out the lottery and may or may not get to go as a result of my own stupidity.
(yes, I have already posted my grovel in the ticket swap section of the forum.)

You don’t need new friends, Miki! You have US! :flower

As for those other folks… if they don’t get it, oh well!

I just put the preliminary lineup up on our website.

There are lots of nice surprises in there that none of you found quite yet… :wink:

Dan Tyminski Band * Natalie MacMaster * Sam Bush Bluegrass Band * Abigail Washburn & The Sparrow Quartet featuring Bela Fleck with Casey Driessen & Ben Sollee * Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas & Edgar Meyer * JD Crowe & The New South * Psychograss * John Cowan Band * Russ Barenberg & Bryan Sutton * Peter Rowan * Infamous Stringdusters * Chatham County Line * Bearfoot * The Steeldrivers * Adrienne Young & Little Sadie * Spring Creek Bluegrass Band * And many more...

So many highlights, I don’t know quite where to begin - from Celtic (Natalie MacMaster) to newgrass (Sam, Jerry, & Edgar) to beautiful old-timey fusion (Sparrow Quartet) to classic (JD Crowe) to some great new bands (Steeldrivers, ooh yeah!) :thumbsup

It’s gonna be a great year.

:wave
They will be in Pagosa Springs for Four Corners Folk Festival over Labor Day weekend. here’s the site: www.folkwest.com
They were there last year and they were great.

This is as close as I could find on short notice.
