I see that Alison is scheduled for Mountain Jam the week before Telluride so there’s still hope. It seems like she was at Telluride just about every year in the 90’s. Still remember the first time I saw her in the Sheridan Opera House in 1989 with Sam, Jerry and Bela in her band.

Oh wow! That is making me very excited. Don’t get me wrong, I would go no matter who was on stage but it’s such a long way to get to US and I’m always hopeful that I might see there some of the people who shaped my musical education and who never tour Australia. AK and Union Station are kind of my Holy Grail. They have never toured here and I’ve always wanted to see them live.

So, crossing my fingers ( again) but no matter what, I’m always grateful for the performers we get to enjoy and the friendship and love at our festival.

Ps it’s our last weekend of summer. That always makes me a bit wistful but it also means that Festival is getting closer - is it June yet?

That is great news. Last I read on her fan page she was healing. Terrific!

Last night while watching youtube concerts, my wife and I realized its been since 2010 since we’ve seen Gillian Welch perform. I will never forget the first time I saw her. It was in Fayetteville AR. Outside of O Brother I was not familiar with her songs, but good friends and NPR said I should go so I did. I stood front row center for the entire show, and will admit I shed many tears that night. The music had me completely captivated and took me away to somewhere else. I ended up buying every album they had available after the show. And David Rawlings invited me backstage to meet Gillian, and Old Crow who were the opening act. It was truly an amazing experience.

I’d love to see/hear Gillian and David in Telluride.

Agree. She has played Australia a lot but she is worth crossing the ocean for

I would love to see Our Native Daughters perform

I have become a fan of We Banjo 3 from Galway Ireland and it would be great to see them at TBG. They are blending traditional celtic music with bluegrass as Celtgrass and are dynamic live performers. Their newest cd Haven has done really well.

I still remember warmly the performance by Lau several years ago. Tying together the roots in Telluride. Their song “Ghosts” is a regular on my playlist.

Too bad they didn’t make it on to the lineup this year … it likely would’ve established a more symbiotic relationship with the festival moving foward.

Not saying it can’t still happen, but they might be more inclined to hold tight for their asking price re: TBF in subsequent years … and I wouldn’t blame them given their quick rise.

Man is he a smooth powerhouse. From the first note he commanded the stage. Relaxed and smooth and such a strong delivery. Love him… :medal

Saw Langhorne Slim play up at Copper Mountain a couple of weeks ago. Have always thought he would be a great artist for the early/mid afternoon time frame. Really engages the crowd and sound is good too.

Where is the 2nd line up announcement not listing them or how do you know they didnt make the line up?

I found a mighty fine strong Bluegrass to the bone Band. High Lonesome. Really good Bluegrass. Not sure they would travel all the way to Tride but dang sure would be a great set. It is really hard to find fresh hardcore Bluegrass. Gotta look hard.
