FirstGrass + Sunset Concert Series May Not Happen in 2022

[FaceOnMars]

Just read another vague rumor:  Sunset Concert Series might be moved to Transfer Warehouse in town.

If this is the case, then maybe First Grass would too.

kind of funny to think about that actually happening, especially after tuesday's planning and zoning meeting re: transfer warehouse use & the hoopla that surrounds it right now.

Really hope it works out for Sunset Concerts AND FirstGrass to be in MV.  Blues & Brews has their pre-fest concert at Transfer Warehouse but if you don’t get there early, you don’t get in.  Because TW is considerably smaller than the MV area a LOT of people are going to be disappointed.  Maybe having FG in Elks Park would allow more people to attend

Yeah, it is interesting in that respect.  Also looks like the Town of Telluride also just passed a revised noise ordinance that relaxes some of the stipulations by which higher volumes can be produced on weekends.   A local band Joint Point is scheduled to play there a week from today, but their postered didn't have a start time & just learned yesterday it's scheduled at 7pm (whereas a lot of the shows there got started in the late afternoon) ... so I suspect they were waiting to iron this out at the council meeting.  Not sure what "plainly audible" means?

The Transfer Warehouse is a great venue, but you're right, it's definitely far smaller and more confined than Sunset Plaza with nowhere to really spread out ... although you can hear pretty well from the outside.   Yeah, Elks Park would have a bit more space and the ability to more elegantly facilitate "overflow".

UPDATE:

in last weeks MTN VILLAGE council meeting, it was confirmed that FirstGrass is happening. Initially, it sounded like it MAY have moved from Sunset Plaza to Conference Center Plaza, but after listening I just saw they got a green light to stay in Sunset Plaza (not from an official source, TBD) Hard to tell if they were referring to Firstgrass or the rest of the concert series, as they are separate.

It was a contractual obligation tied into PB's parking agreement with MTN VILLAGE. Won't be funded by TMVOA, so the series continuing after firstgrass is still very much in flux.

Of course I don't speak for MTN VILLAGE/TMVOA/TAG or PB. I just hack their unprotected servers. (JK, this is all public info), so stay tuned.

Well that's great news but gosh I really hope it stays in Sunset - that's a huge draw.  Getting everyone shoved into the Conference Center Plaza would temper the vibe a bit but I'll take what I can get I suppose!

Now we have to speculate who will be playing!  I doubt they'd do this since Ferg doesn't seem to like the Smokies that much but another Smokies Firstgrass would be epiccccccccc.  A guy can dream!

AJ Lee has Sunset Plaza on the schedule???????

And saw something about Lil Smokies at Transfer on Thursday I think....

Hm I saw Kitchen Dwellers at the Transfer at 4 but nothing about the smokies - any recollection as to where you saw that?

Remaining in Sunset Plaza is likely for Firstgrass from what I have gathered. For the Sunset series, that is not the case.


For transfer, here's what I have so far:
Dwellers on Thursday +  Travis Book & Andy Falco of Infamous Stringdusters play Jerry Garcia on Sat.

Plus Sol Chase and Birds of Play on Tuesday, Tom and Claybrook on Wednesday.  I'm not familiar with any of these groups but they all look folky/bluegrassy

Any word on timing for this? It's been a few years. What time did the First Grass shows typically happen?

Firstgrass was scheduled for 5-8pm in both 2018 and 2019.
