I wonder if Lake Street Dive plans on playing two sets or if they'll be paired up with another artist. Has anyone seen one of their concerts? Are they generally a two set band or do they stick to one? I think adding Rhiannon Giddens to that bill would be fantastic.
Yonder generally does the Conference Center on Wednesday night and the Sheridan on Friday. I remember a few years ago, they took a night off and only did their mainstage show and the Wednesday night show. I wouldn't be surprised to see them do that again this year, although I hope they do all three shows. Jake and Allie are incredible and I'd love to see them at the SOH.
Greensky Bluegrass has the 18th on their website, yet they're playing the mainstage on Sunday the 21st. Either the 18th is just a place holder, or they'll be at The Palm on Thursday. My guess is the latter.
The lone Sunday nightgrass is almost always Punch brothers at the Sheridan, so I'd count on that.
With Lake Street Dive playing the SOH on Thursday, Greensky likely playing The Palm on Thursday, and Yonder likely playing the SOH on Friday, I doubt we'll get a Salmon nightgrass. It wouldn't make sense to me to put Salmon opposite Yonder for a nightgrass show and they are closing out the mainstage on Saturday.
SCR is a good bet for a Saturday night slot at the SOH or The Palm, but I'm guessing we'll have them at The Sheridan. That leaves the Palm open for Trampled. Though I wouldn't be surprised to see those two switch venues.
Then there's The Fly Me To The Moon. I'm guessing we'll see Mustered Courage and Trout Steak Revival there, but I have no idea which day each will play. I also think it likely that The McCrary Sisters will play there.
That leaves Friday night at the Palm. I think it could be Lau, it could be Peter Rowan, or if Rhiannon isn't on the bill with Lake Street Dive, I could easily see her in The Palm. Plenty of options.
That leaves us with:
Wednesday - Yonder at The Conference Center
Thursday - Lake Street Dive (possibly with Rhiannon Giddens) at the SOH
Greensky at the Palm
Friday - Yonder at the SOH
Possibly Rhiannon Giddons at The Palm
Saturday - SCR at the SOH
Trampled by Turtles at The Palm
Sunday - Punch Brothers at the SOH
That's my guess. I'm interested to see how wildly inaccurate it is (for instance, I really hope that I'm wrong about no Salmon). This was a fun way to waste an hour of work!
