2014 Telluride Bluegrass Festival - What NEW Acts would you like to see perform?

[Jen17]

And, you have to love a little Mike Munford on banjo (who plays with Frank).

[Pinewind]

Loved the Kruger Brothers at this year's Rocky Grass. Judging from the crowd buzz following their set, others did, too. Their blend of bluegrass and classical, to me, puts them in league with Goat Rodeo. IMO they'd make a great addition to the Telluride lineup.

[Heidi]

I second the Gourds suggestion and add one for Brothers Comatose. 

[sdmjake]

Pert Near Sandstone
Son Volt
Gipsy Moon
Iron & Wine

 Listening to: my coworker drone on-n-on about #'s....ARRGGHHH

[Linds]

How about Frank Solivan and Dirty Kitchen?

Also, I vote for Ray LaMontagne too.  Good stuff.

Ray would be amazing, if you can get him.  He doesn't seem to do much touring or gigging.  I do think he would be a perfect fit for Telluride, though. 

[Hot Sugar]

There's a young singer-songwriter out of England that I've really been enjoying a lot lately.

Widespread Panic would also be a fun time.

Hayes Carll and Corb Lund.  Especially Corb Lund, he's probably my new favorite songwriter (and his band is pretty awesome too!)

[Hot Sugar]

Hayes Carll was fantastic at Targhee this past weekend. He'd be an excellent addition to any lineup.

Hayes comes thru Albuquerque pretty often, but his last show here was the best.  He is SUCH a great writer!

Two suggestions via New Orleans.  The Honey Island Swamp Band just released their third album.  I can't seem to take it out of my CD player.  And Hooray for the Riff Raff was just here opening for Alabama Shakes.  I'd go out of my way to see either one again!

[HuckinFappy]

Just thought I'd mention that the Wailin' Jennys have a new EP coming out, and currently have tour dates booked out until May 2014.   

Aoife O'donovan seems pretty active, and pretty pretty 

Hey, how about a modern-day "Planet Bluegrass Lilith Fair"....just bring all my favorite female acts up here to Lyons for a weekend.  That'll be awesome, thanks!   

[Hot Sugar]

I'm thinking Telluride is in need of some more Sugar (I'm tired of filling the quota all by myself). And what better way to fulfill that need than with Sugarman himself. If you haven't heard of Rodriguez (AKA Sugarman), you owe it to yourself to watch the documentary Searching for Sugarman and familiarize yourself with him. He may not be bluegrass, but he is a fantastic songwriter from the late 60's/early 70's.

Mark Knopfler  or Clapton and Steve Winwood, not real "new."

Have to Agree Sugar. Hayes Carll is an incredible talent, I have seen him solo and with a band and either the songs are just awesome!
