Howdy everyone! 

It's mid-April, so as promised we just posted this year's NightGrass schedule!   EEK! 
   www.bluegrass.com/telluride/nightgrass.html

We're again presenting shows in the Sheridan, Palm, Conference Center, and some very intimate shows in the Swede-Finn Hall (Elks Club building a block from the gondola).

In addition to many of our favorites - Yonder, Greensky, Stringdusters, Punch Brothers, Leftover Salmon - we have a couple fun new addition to the NightGrass lineup: The Hillbenders will be performing their incredible bluegrass version of Tommy;  Del McCoury Band will be performing the epic Saturday night show at the Sheridan; and the virtuosic trio of Haas Kowert Tice will be playing Saturday at the Swede-Finn.

We're trying something a little different with the Swede-Finn this year, presenting intimate acoustic duos and trios: Mandolin Orange, Sierra Hull, and Haas Kowert Tice.

As with last year, all NightGrass tickets will be sold via an online lottery, open from **Tues-Wed, April 26-27**. 

Here's the complete series:

== Wednesday, June 15
* 15th Annual Kick-Off Party with Yonder Mountain String Band @ Telluride Conference Center

== Thursday, June 16
* The Hillbenders present "Tommy: A Bluegrass Opry" @ Sheridan Opera House
* The Infamous Stringdusters @ Palm Theatre
* Mandolin Orange @ Swede-Finn Hall

== Friday, June 17
* Yonder Mountain String Band @ Sheridan Opera House
* Leftover Salmon @ Palm Theatre
* Sierra Hull @ Swede-Finn Hall

== Saturday, June 18
* Del McCoury Band @ Sheridan Opera House
* Greensky Bluegrass @ Palm Theatre
* Haas Kowert Tice @ Swede-Finn Hall

== Sunday, June 19
* Punch Brothers @ Sheridan Opera House

Yes! Thursday night Dusters set! Since The Smokies won't be doing a nightgrass, The Dusters will likely be the only one I hit this year.

Holy smokes my head is exploding!  EEK!  Yesterday Greensky announces a free show in Wyoming, only 2 hours from Denver; today we get a Strings & Sol announcement AND a Saturday nightgrass announcement. Thanks Planet, this day is kicking a$$ right now!

In Town Park it's called "sleep with one ear open".
