Who is going to fill in for Mumford?

I would like to see Hot Buttered Rum added to the lineup, and move string cheese to the headliner.

My vote goes to Railroad Earth, but anything that is not Phish would be fine with me!

Railroad Earth?

I don’t think that just shuffling the lineup is a good move. Mumford, like it or not, was the biggest name on the docket. You can’t just bump someone up to fill in for something like that.

IMO they’re going to need to go out on a limb…get someone good or there is going to be a decent amount disappointment.

I also hope it is not a reshuffle of the lineup. Mumford was certainly the mainstream band of the weekend. I hope someone big is announced soon.

Rafer Alston…as in the basketball player?

Indeed.

Skip 2 My Lou.

Sweet name… strange place to find it, on a Bluegrass Fest Forum… but I like it. A lot.

I am hoping String Cheese closes on Thurs. and/or Keller Williams.
I have faith Planet Bluegrass will work it all out. Also sending out
positive gouda healing vibes to Ben!

YEEEEEEESSS BRING RAILROAD EARTH!!!

I think RodneyLou should get the headliner spot and some conglomeration of folks already there (Noam Pikelny and friends, Sarah Jarosz & TimO duo) should get an opening spot.

Call Jason Isbell !!!

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Robert Earl Keen (because I miss his show in Phoenix), Alison Krauss, Ben Harper or Natalie Maines and the Dixie Chicks?..All sound good to me. :slight_smile:

If it turns out as good as the Michelle Shocked gets replace by the Drepung Monks move, I’ll be pretty happy. I do think it should be a $ for $ replacement, ideally. Tough job this late in the game.

I bet PB will come up with a satisfying and interesting solution whichever way it goes.

Yeah 40th! FFFFEEESSSTTTTIIIIIVVVVVAAAAALLLL!!! :cheers

I’ve heard some people talking about Paul Simon and even though I think it would be pretty unlikely, if it he did come I would hardly be able to control myself! That could quite possibly be the coolest thing to ever happen!!! I would hope for a Leftover Paul Simon Sam Bush Incident!!!

The only issue I would have with that is it would almost certainly dissappoint my Wife who is looking forward to Peter and String Twang and FMTTM

I expect a pair of NG tickets for that show would suddenly become available

Wilco!

I would LOOOOOVE a Cheese Headlining Show, or a Cheesy Salmon, and heck if some of the greensky boys wanted to show up, I wouldn’t complain :bubbles :giggle 3 fave bands on the same stage, hmmm, let me think about this one :slight_smile:

And love the earlier suggestions of Paul Simon and OCMS too :wink:

Much Love and Healing to Ted Dwane of Mumford. Was really looking forward to their show <3

Would like to see it, but don’t forsee it happening, they have their own festival (Solid Sound) in MA on 6/21-6/23. If they bring in another act, at this point my money is on either The Lumineers or Old Crow. If they decide to go “in-house” the options are endless - Emmit/Nershi, Bush/McCoury, Nickel Creek, etc.
