2013 Lineup Suggestions

[ruffnrocky]

I'm still not sure why the Gourds have never graced the Fred Shellman Memorial Stage.    For you Boulder folks and planet people you can see what they're all about at the Fox Theater with James McMurthy on 9/23/2012

 Listening to:  Chris Thile and Michael Daves - Rockygrass 2012

[Hot Sugar]

Justin Townes Earle - We had his dad last year, but this dude can stand on his own.

 Listening to: Buffalo Springfield

[Doc Mike]

Neil. Young.  Nuff said.

Agreed. Justin's the real deal -- good stuff, and diverse too (depending on the depth of his band).

it was discussed here recently and i thought it was a great idea...  rebirth brass band or kermit ruffins for a second line through the fest up to the main stage.  then a nightgrass with them.

Wow, great idea!  I hit jazz Fest every year, and FINALLY made it over to the Thursday night BBQ at Vaughn's for Kermit (he plays AND provides the BBQ!)  I'll never miss THAT again! 

But let's bump up this a bit and ask for the HOTTEST New Orlean's musician:  Trombone Shorty!  What a show this guy puts on!!!

And I got to see Neil Young blast off his tour here in Albq on friday night.  Just 2 acoustic songs, the rest was LOUD rock and roll, and very GOOD rock and roll.  He looks great - lost about 20 pounds from 3 years ago.  Sounded great, too.  No lightt show, no theatrics, just LOTS of new songs (not from the new album - newer than that!)  Funniest thing:  he forgot half the words to the Needle and the Damage Done.

[Pirate Looks at --]

Yep to all the above. Darrell Scott for sure (great idea Sugar) Hey the "Boomchicks" with the guys in drag would be fun. John Hiatt is always nice at Telluride! And Del McCoury and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band would be a hoot. Hey John, we are going to Jazz Fest this year for the first time....I would love to pick your brain on places see and people to do!

  I think the stage is huge and it can swallow certain people if they are not big enough, in sound. Just my opinion... what I miss is that one sort of off beat, does not quite fit in set that makes the entire crowd come to a screeeaching hault , just to take a close listen. Got two lil words for ya Ferg :lolDweezel Zappa Band Of Joy

[HuckinFappy]

. Got two lil words for ya Ferg

3 words:  Grandmothers of Invention

Yo Huck! I did see that they played The Boulder Theater as of lately. Did you check em out? If so tell me more.....curios. I really think that Zappa was really brilliant and I must admit I donot like his music without the lyric. IMO.

Ya know what would be fun, to kick it off with all the TownPark Players, like a hootenanny, how do you spell that

You know what I'm talkin 'bout

Couldn't we see what Guinness says is the world's record for number of people in a bluegrass band, then beat it some morning?  Everyone drags their instruments out to the field for a big rendition of Shady Grove, or Howl at the Moon, or Mr. Soundman Turn Me Up Loud, or Ooops I Did it Again, or... 

OK, we'll have to agree that not EVERYONE will get a lead break!

One Problem:  if we became a big hit, our tour bus would have to be enormous!

  Seems fitting of the occasion. PBG has inspired so many to be musical in their own right.....a jam of ohhhh lets say 5000
