I’m returning after 30 years. There are familiar favorites from back in the day: John McCutcheon, Bryan Bowers, Tom Chapin. But 95% of the performers are new to me—I don’t know who’s who these days. I’ll bet some Mudcatters know, tho! I tried to scope out all the bands, but couldn’t find some of them. Of those I found, I’m set on seeing: Steel Wheels, 3 Trails West, Pretend Friend, Andy May, Dave Stamey, Bela Fleck, & Rhonda Vincent. Who else is a must-see? What resonates strongest with me is traditional mountain banjo and story songs. Here’s a list of the rest of the performers—who would YOU see if you could? Herb Pederson + Pat Flynn + John Jorgenson (they’re together) Sock in the Frying Pan Chris Jones & Night Drivers Marley’s Ghost Tim O’Brien Band Crary, Evans, & Barnick Ros Brown & Jim Ratts Shane Hennessy Bennett & Gurley Beppe Gambetta Green Flamingos Mark Alan Wade & Kyle Baker Damn Tall Buidlings Barry Patton & Friends JigJam Bing Futch Still on the Hill Whiskey Mash Band Weda Skirts Kelly Hunt Many & multiple thanks for your time & guidance!! |
