Right at this moment I'm diggin' MGMT.
Not bluegrass, but trippy just the same!

Frequently, in other moments, I love Keller and the Keels, Keller and WMD, and solo Keller Williams.
Leftover Salmon of course.
Emmitt-Nershi Band
Monty Montgomery from Austin, Texas rocks.
Jeremy Garrett is nice.
Umm... Jack Johnson.
Modest Mouse
The John Butler Trio
Gold Spot is catchy
(Having iTunes right here is dangerous)
Ok this one is a must see: Chickenfoot. Sammy Hagar on vocals, Joe Satriani on lead guitar, Chad Smith on drums and Michael Anthony on bass.
Aimee Mann
JJ Cale
Arlo Guthrie - I love his stories and view on things.

That's it for now! Love you all.  Wave

Dustin,

Are you still reading this?  I would like to see the Infamous Stringdusters,  the Waybacks, and Sunday morning with Mike Marshall, Edgar Meyer, Joshua Bell and Yo Yo Ma.

Tickets go on sale next month.  When will you be posting the early tentative lineup, including all the usual suspects?

Leftover Salmon (I think I already said that in an earlier post, but never hurts to reconfirm Wink)
The Dillards, or at least Doug Dillard. Besides on the Andy Griffith show, we saw the Dillards play in Tucson last year at our delicious local brewery - the Nimbus. Doug still picks great and he is quite the character, very fun guy. It would be neat to see him sit in with LoS and a few others at TBF too!

Second the Dillards...would love to see Sarah Jarocz again. How about the Quebe Sisters Band (Texas Swing Band- beautiful trio of fiddle-playing sisters)?

Love Texas Swing....
The Butler Trio is good but to me can sound like one long running song. It all sounds the same to me  Flower

We saw The Flatlanders last weekend and they were hot! We saw The  Subdudes last Wednesday night and THEY were also HOT! I think I mentioned that we saw Litttle Feat a month ago and they were incredible!Oh, and I forgot to mention Sonia Dada, who would also be great at Telluride.

I cannot get enough of The Infamous Stringdusters.  Bring 'em back.  And, The Duhks!

I also agree Little Feat would be a riot.

And is there a way to have Bryan Sutton do songs from his "Almost Live" CD?  His super-star fellow musicians who appear on the CD (Sam, Bela, Jerry Douglas, Chris Thile, etc.) will be at Tride also.  That would be cool.  The CD is just awesome.

Subdudes, Stringdusters, Flatlanders, Little Feat - oh yeah, you're reading my ipod!  But for someone new check out the Band of Heathens.  They were on the latest Austin City Limits (with Elvis Costello - great show!).  They are NOT bluegrass, but what fantastic harmonies.  3 singer-songwriters front the band, all are GREAT musicians (guitar, lap steel, mandolin, piano) and their new album has a lot of Little Feat-like sounds.

Also, Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers are getting unbelievable reviews everywhere they go.  SCRs loved playing T-ride and are hoping for another invitation.

And for Sunday morning, how about raising the roof with Mavis Staples?!?!

I saw Band of Heathens on that show and I was thinking the same thing John. They would be great to see in Telluride, in one of the "let's try this out and see how they like 'em" slot. 
subdudes are always great, but I would rather see them at a smaller venue, maybe a late-night show.
Infamous Stringdusters, please. 
Sure would like to see Delma again.

I'd throw in a vote for the Band Of Heathens. I've seen 'em twice at Oskar Blues in the past year and they were really good. They will be in Colorado for a few gigs the first of the new year so a good chance for CO peeps to check them out.
