For my first post ever, i'd like to nominate Brett Dennen- If you haven't heard of or seen this kid you should check him out....he is awesome and would fit the vibe at Folks Fest perfectly

I am going to hear Brett in Santa Fe in March.   I  just discovered him within the past couple of months.  I am looking forward to hearing him live.

Hi!  Wave  I would really love to see The Be Good Tanyas again.  I can still see that first day that I saw them on stage in my mind.  It still gives me a smile and goosebumps to think of my very first time at folks fest and they are a huge part of that memory.

Whatever happened to Greg Brown? We haven't seen him for a while ... and he's got some grrreat new songs and a new CD. I'd also love to see again Patty Griffin, Iris Dement, Mary Gauthier and Patty Larkin. Todd Snider, of course, and, oh yeah, Van Morrison and  Leonard Cohen ...

ha ha ha ha ha .. we can only dream, eh?

One thing that happened to Greg Brown is that he married Iris Dement. 
Debby, it sounds like you would like the 2006 lineeup from the Kate Wolk festival.  Just about anyone on that list would be good for Folks.

Gosh, there are some good suggestions out there.

How about: Wailin Jennys, Be Good Tanyas, Jenny Lewis (with or without the Watson Twins), the Duhks, Neko Case, Over the Rhine, and Stacey Earle?

Old Blind Dogs and Dervish maybe for acts from across the Pond? The Waifs were wonderful last year and I'd love to see them end an evening.  Thumbs Up

I would like to suggest "The Dreamsicles" which is a duo out of Texas consisting of Cary Cooper and Tom Prasada-Rao (Tom has performed on the  mainstage in Lyons several years ago)

And "The Sherpas" - Tom Prasada-Rao / Tom Kimmel / Michael Lille

Stephen Kellogg is already booked for Folks, according to Pollstar.

I have a hard time understanding how circumstances would prevent PB from finalizing (or at least having a few names by now) Folks lineup any more than they do Telluride of Rockygrass. I mean, Folks is a few weeks after Rockygrass and essentially the entire RG lineup has been announced, and most of it has been known for months. But not a single Folks act? I think this says more about the priorities of PB than anything else.

Maybe they're gonna shock us with the killer lineup this time, but based on recent years I'm not expecting it. Which is one reason we didnt order tickets this year.

If we could have a Wainwright, I would rather have Soan Wainwright... but as I said before, I don't look for that to happen.  Also, I saw that Tracy Grammer is booked at another festival in Colorado this season so I am thinking that means she won't be at Folks.
