Let's Pick!

 Wave Sooo, what single day on the main stage are you most excited about, and why?

I'm having a terrible time deciding that, and wondering if some of you are as well. Woo hoo

Thursday is full of acts I've never seen, also on Sunday there's a few I've never seen. Friday and Saturday are full of fun leading up to great party headliners. Thursday is full of rock and roll and young talents. Sunday seems to hold promise for some memorable moments. If you forced me to pick one day I guess I'd have to pick Saturday, for two reasons. 1) I'm a Salmonhead, even though there's a couple acts I'm probably more interested in, Salmon is just too fun, and I don't get to see them near as often as I used to. 2) I think watching the broadcast of Live From Hear will be cool, and we have no idea who the musical guests will be, very likely could be someone not scheduled to perform at TBF! Sunday gets 2nd place for Sturgill and Punch Bros with the bonus of Edgar McBride. Friday 3rd for the Dusters, House band, Greensky. And though Thursday could have easily been first for Billy, Thile, and Tedeschi Trucks, the flow of the day seems oddly arranged.

To me, Thursday is going to  epic.  Billy Strings into Wood Brothers is sure to be an energetic, rollicking afternoon.  I'm With Her a nice twilight recharge.  Del and the Boys laying down the gauntlet as they always, do with TTB bringing things home with great R+B.  For me, the hard part will be missing some of Greensky because TTB at Telluride is a one time appearance.  Something tells me our friends in Greensky will understand and leave plenty of special moments for their second set!

Thursday is epic. When Chris Thile is the act that I am least excited about you know it is big.

Ted Trucks are Telluride faves which will add to the flavor.

Billy Strings is an act that I am really looking forward to seeing live.

But first I gotta get tix :-)

Most years I can easily narrow it down to a favorite day (or two), but this lineup is so hot that I just don't think I can. Every single day is going to be amazing and I don't know how I'm going to find time to eat and not skip any good music. And we haven't even seen the Workshop schedule yet!

I'm glad I camp at Run Amuck and can just sit in living room and listen while eating!

Thursday is going to be awesome! First day with the excitement of I made it another year! Plus I'M WITH HER. After seeing them last week in a controlled setting I am most anxious to see how good they will sound in the box canyon. They will receive awards for the work they are performing! I am most confident we will see them Saturday as well on Live From Here. Chris Thile really likes his back up singers and they have performed well in that spot.
Thank goodness we have three more days of incredible music to follow this one!
