Personally, I'm very excited about this set. Nickel Creek is one of my favorites, and I'm thrilled that they are making music again!

D.

Agreed!  I know I won't miss it.

We were there for the band contest when they won it and really enjoyed them.  Can't say I have been a fan of CT since then though. As others have posted... amazing player that does not move me.

Not sure why everyone doesn't feel the way I do about Chris Thile, he definetly moves me! I think he rocks!  But then again that's why we all can have our own opinions. Stoked to see Nickle Creek at Telluride, and 930 Club in DC!

Maybe they'll take a cue from the 09 Punch Brothers set and play it pretty traditional, that was definately the best set I've seen the PB play ever. Some of the times I've seen Nickle Creek they've been ok, others they've been incredible. Not sure if it's them or just my mood at the time. On another note, with Chris Thile already there,it shouldn't be too hard to get Michael Daves out to join him for a set- saw them at The Festy last fall and they were awesome!

Brandy, we do love Chris, but there are a lot of folks that think he should "stick to the program" of TBF and keep some structure to his performances. Others think that the avant-garde nature of what he's been playing lately should be left out of the canyon.

Still others think there is enough "structure" to go around, and some creativity is quite refreshing.  He's one of the guys who keeps me coming back year after year, because you know his performances are going to be worth the trip.  Traditionalists can bite my ass, so to speak.

One thing I like about Thile is that he's very serious about his music, but does NOT take himself seriously.

In other news, Punch Brothers have announced via Facebook that they will be in Telluride, as expected.

[GreyFoxDoc]

I'll pre-hear them at the Beacon!!!!!!!!

C'mon, Planet!  Spill the beans before the bands keep beating you to the Punch!  Pun intended. 

Seriously, though, it's time for some more line up announcements.

Look Folks, all I'm sayin' is there is an implied genre to this FESTIVVVAAALLL!!!

C.T. should and will experiment all he wants, but it is a sincere request from many a Festivarian that he LET US HEAR what he can twist and turn within the Bluegrass & Roots genres. We would REALLY love to hear that from the Telluride stage.

Heck, even the Banjo Concerto is within the implied theme of this FESTIVVVAAALLL!!!

i also disagree.  i want to see thile amaze me.  he is among the best in the world at his instrument and what he's best at is not necessarily bluegrass and we are fortunate to have been able to see the quirks that he puts onto the instrument.  staying within structure?  if people did that the newgrass revivals  of the world would never have changed the monroe/flatt/scruggs style and given us what we all have today.  chris is doing new things with the music, what better place for him to do it than at telluride? 

not to mention, telluride has a lot less "structure" than rockygrass, david byrne did not stay within it, neither did fogerty, or plenty of others throughout the year.  allow thile to flourish in the box canyon.

"Banjo Concerto" is probably going to be classical.  There has been plenty of classical, jazz, rock, and pop played on that stage.  Why selectively whine when one of the musicians who has supported the festival immensely decides to experiment?  Do you complain when Edgar Meyer noodles around on the bass for an hour on Sunday morning?

What we have here is a double standard.  Musically, Bela Fleck experiments just as much as Chris Thile, and he doesn't stick to "bluegrass and roots" either.  And that's what makes both of them great.
