[3boobykins]

GREENSKY, PLEASE!

GREENSKY, PLEASE! 

YES.

[Brownie]

I would want RRE and GSBG over Neil and Mumford. Pretty please?

You're certifiably insane if you want anything over Neil.

[landshark]

Oh there is no such thing as a bad lineup so get over it

If it's a warm Summer night and the stars are bright and my hips start to sway and I know not what day
Are you kidding, who cares CAN WE LEAVE YET!?

That looks like an excellent line-up. Can't wait to see the two other artists and those not yet confirmed. Out of these, I'm probably most excited to see The Dusters return. Their new album is one of my favorites of the year. I hope they get a late night slot or at least a nightgrass show.

I couldn't agree more. I've started walking to and from work this week (I need to get healthy for this summer) and it takes about half an hour one way. Which is just about right to listen to a whole Stringdusters album. Which I've been singing along to as I walk (pity those neighborhoods). ;-)

I've been doing the same. 25 minute walk there and a 25 minute walk back. It helps that I live in such a beautiful area. No matter which direction I'm walking, I see mountains. I've been able to listen to albums and lots of shows by the Dusters. They've edged their way into my 5 favorite still active bands/artists (along with Sam, Darrell, LoS and RRE). The new directions they've taken without Jesse has shown me a new side of them that I really like.

Another vote for Greensky and RRE. What about Ry Cooder?
And please bring back the Pastor for the 40th. None of the past emcees has the panache of the Pastor

[Mandhoe]

Hey, while we're young!  It's time for you fellers to release the complete line-up.  Thank you!

I have to admit he was fun to hear again last summer and that stmblin' on the stage routine was fun to watch. When everyone was on stage for the finale he mozied on stage again and and I was laughing thinking he was going to play another joke but he was actually up there to sing. And on that note I like his swing and Band. He can be a tad cad however.... a break is always good can we leave yet, will the Mik find a 4 dayer. Who knows but may the power of the presence of Fest be with you.

Dweezel Zappa

With the 'Dusters already booked, how about another round of Greensky Bluegrass???  They get more awesome everytime I see them ......

[Linds]

Greensky would be great.  I've never seen one of their shows when they weren't just fantastic.  I loved seeing Neil with Buffalo Springfield at Bonnaroo 2011, but one of my friends saw him on his last tour and didn't enjoy the show much.  She said it was "too much jamming".  Well, that actually sounds right up our alley at TBF, so I'd be cool with seeing him again.

I would personally love to see Mumford.  Last year was my first TBF, so I missed the past shows, but I heard they were amazing.  I did get to see them at 'Roo in 2011, though, and it was the highlight of that fest for me (I wasn't even that much of a fan until then).  Anyway, I'll be happy with almost anybody they bring in.  There is one artist that I'm kind of "meh" about, but who everybody else loves, that is a likely candidate -- Bruce Springsteen.  Yeah, I know he's the Boss and all, but his stuff after "Born in the USA" just hasn't resonated with me.  I'm sure he'd be a popular addition to the lineup, but for my part, I think I'd just let someone have my spot on the tarp and go grab a coffee at Baked during that set.

I'm not sure how likely a candidate Bruce is, since he's in Europe in June, but as a lover of live music I would highly discourage an exit from the festival if he were playing -- he's definitely a top 5 live act for me.

He may be great live, but I'm just not a fan of his music.  Just a personal taste thing, I guess.  I usually love "classic" artists, though.  I'm really really looking forward to seeing Jackson Browne this year, and Fogerty was a huge highlight for me last year.  That guy's still got it!
